Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects
Simone Giombi, Yue-Zhou Li, Jieru Shan
Thermal correlators in holographic conformal field theories are known to exhibit singularities in complex time, sometimes referred to as ``bouncing singularities", which are believ…
Gravitational Raman Scattering in Effective Field Theory: a Scalar Tidal Matching at
Mikhail M. Ivanov, Yue-Zhou Li, Julio Parra-Martinez +1
We present a framework to compute amplitudes for the gravitational analog of the Raman process, a quasi-elastic scattering of waves off compact objects, in worldline effective fiel…
Effective field theory bootstrap, large-N PT and holographic QCD
Yue-Zhou Li
We review the effective field theory (EFT) bootstrap by formulating it as an infinite-dimensional semidefinite program (SDP), built from the crossing symmetric sum rules and the S-…
Bootstrapping Witten diagrams via differential representation in Mellin space
Yue-Zhou Li, Jiajie Mei
We explore the use of the differential representation of AdS amplitudes to compute Witten diagrams. The differential representation expresses AdS amplitudes in terms of conformal g…
Flat-space structure of gluon and graviton in AdS
Yue-Zhou Li
We report the differential representation of three-point and four-point amplitudes for Yang-Mills fields and Einstein gravity in AdS at tree-level. The amplitudes exhibit the flat-…
Graviton partial waves and causality in higher dimensions
Simon Caron-Huot, Yue-Zhou Li, Julio Parra-Martinez +1
Do gravitational interactions respect the basic principles of relativity and quantum mechanics? We show that any graviton S-matrix that satisfies these assumptions cannot significa…
Causality constraints on corrections to Einstein gravity
Simon Caron-Huot, Yue-Zhou Li, Julio Parra-Martinez +1
We study constraints from causality and unitarity on graviton scattering in four-dimensional weakly-coupled effective field theories. Together, causality and unitarity impl…
Hidden Relations of Central Charges and OPEs in Holographic CFT
Yue-Zhou Li, H. Lu, Liang Ma
It is known that the central charges in four-dimensional CFTs are linear combinations of the three independent OPE coefficients of the stress-tensor three-point function. I…
Notes on flat-space limit of AdS/CFT
Yue-Zhou Li
Different frameworks exist to describe the flat-space limit of AdS/CFT, include momentum space, Mellin space, coordinate space, and partial-wave expansion. We explain the origin of…
On Quantum Simulation Of Cosmic Inflation
Junyu Liu, Yue-Zhou Li
In this paper, we generalize Jordan-Lee-Preskill, an algorithm for simulating flat-space quantum field theories, to 3+1 dimensional inflationary spacetime. The generalized algorith…
Rotating Black Holes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity: Mass and Angular Momentum in Extremality
Liang Ma, Yue-Zhou Li, H. Lu
We consider perturbative solutions in Einstein gravity with higher-derivative extensions and address some subtle issues of taking extremal limit. As a concrete new result, we const…
More on Heavy-Light Bootstrap up to Double-Stress-Tensor
Yue-Zhou Li, Hao-Yu Zhang
We investigate the heavy-light four-point function up to double-stress-tensor, supplementing 1910.06357. By using the OPE coefficients of lowest-twist double-stress-tensor in the l…
Quasi-Topological Ricci Polynomial Gravities
Yue-Zhou Li, Hai-Shan Liu, H. Lu
Quasi-topological terms in gravity can be viewed as those that give no contribution to the equations of motion for a special subclass of metric ansätze. They therefore play no rôle…
