Edge Modes on Stringy Horizons
Atish Dabholkar, Eleanor Harris, Upamanyu Moitra
For a quantum field of arbitrary mass and spin in the static patch of de Sitter spacetime, the Euclidean partition function receives contributions from edge modes localized on the…

Quantum Entanglement Index in String Theory
Atish Dabholkar, Eleanor Harris, Upamanyu Moitra
We define a notion of `quantum entanglement index' with the aim to compute it for black hole horizons in string theory at one-loop order using the stringy replica method. We consid…

Quantum Features of the Cosmological Horizon
Eleanor Harris
This thesis explores the thermodynamics of the cosmological horizon, aiming to make progress towards a better understanding of the microscopic nature of its entropy. We utilise the…
