Negative shocks versus static patch holography
Yiming Chen, Douglas Stanford, Haifeng Tang +1
We study a version of de Sitter static patch holography in which the Euclidean gravitational path integral, with an observer worldline included, is conjectured to compute a trace.…
On the phase of the de Sitter density of states
Yiming Chen, Douglas Stanford, Haifeng Tang +1
The one-loop gravitational path integral around Euclidean de Sitter space has a complex phase that casts doubt on a state counting interpretation. Recently, it was proposed t…
Cusps in 3d gravity
Douglas Stanford, Cynthia Yan
Three dimensional hyperbolic manifolds have accumulation points in the spectrum of their volumes, leading to a divergence in the sum over topologies. The limit points are cusped hy…
Growth and collapse of subsystem complexity under random unitary circuits
Jeongwan Haah, Douglas Stanford
For chaotic quantum dynamics modeled by random unitary circuits, we study the complexity of reduced density matrices of subsystems as a function of evolution time where the initial…
Bulk thimbles dual to trace relations
Ji Hoon Lee, Douglas Stanford
The maximal giant graviton is a D-brane wrapping a maximal within . It represents an upper bound on the charge that can be carried by c…
Scramblon loops
Douglas Stanford, Shreya Vardhan, Shunyu Yao
In large chaotic quantum systems, the butterfly effect is mediated by a collective field mode known as the ``scramblon.'' We study self-interactions of the scramblon in variant…
