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…
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…
A symmetry algebra in double-scaled SYK
Henry W. Lin, Douglas Stanford
The double-scaled limit of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model takes the number of fermions and their interaction number to infinity in a coordinated way. In this limit, two entangle…
