Generic ETH: Eigenstate Thermalization beyond the Microcanonical
Elena Cáceres, Stefan Eccles, Jason Pollack +1
The Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) has played a key role in recent advances in the high energy and condensed matter communities. It explains how an isolated quantum sys…
Seeing double: shock waves and the de Sitter horizon
Willy Fischler, Hare Krishna, Sarah Racz
We consider a de Sitter observer in his rest frame at late times who observes a particle slightly displaced from unstable equilibrium. Initially, the observer notices an axisymmetr…
There is more to the de Sitter horizon than just the area
Willy Fischler, Hare Krishna, Sarah Racz
It is well known that the area of the de Sitter cosmological horizon is related to the entropy of the bulk spacetime. Recent work has however shown that the horizon encodes more in…
Plato Meets de Sitter, or de Sitter's Allegory of the Cave
Willy Fischler, Sarah Racz
Configurations of masses located at the vertices of Platonic solids deep within the bulk of de Sitter spacetime generate deformations of the cosmological horizon with the geometry…
