Averaged Null Energy and the Renormalization Group
Thomas Hartman, Grégoire Mathys
We establish a connection between the averaged null energy condition (ANEC) and the monotonicity of the renormalization group, by studying the light-ray operator i…
Toward random tensor networks and holographic codes in CFT
Jeevan Chandra, Thomas Hartman
In holographic CFTs satisfying eigenstate thermalization, there is a regime where the operator product expansion can be approximated by a random tensor network. The geometry of the…
Focusing bounds for CFT correlators and the S-matrix
Thomas Hartman, Yikun Jiang, Francesco Sgarlata +1
The focusing theorem in General Relativity underlies causality, singularity theorems, entropy inequalities, and more. In AdS/CFT, we show that focusing in the bulk leads to a bound…
TF1 Snowmass Report: Quantum gravity, string theory, and black holes
Daniel Harlow, Shamit Kachru, Juan Maldacena +35
We give an overview of the field of quantum gravity, string theory and black holes summarizing various white papers in this subject that were submitted as part of the Snowmass proc…
Coarse graining pure states in AdS/CFT
Jeevan Chandra, Thomas Hartman
We construct new Euclidean wormhole solutions in AdS(d+1) and discuss their role in UV-complete theories, without ensemble averaging. The geometries are interpreted as overlaps of…
Snowmass white paper: Quantum information in quantum field theory and quantum gravity
Thomas Faulkner, Thomas Hartman, Matthew Headrick +2
We present a summary of recent progress and remaining challenges in applying the methods and ideas of quantum information theory to the study of quantum field theory and quantum gr…
