Non-analyticity of holographic Rényi entropy in Lovelock gravity

V. Giangreco M. Puletti, R. Pourhasan

We compute holographic Rényi entropies for spherical entangling surfaces on the boundary while considering third order Lovelock gravity with negative cosmological constant in the b…

Monopole correlation functions and holographic phases of matter in 2+1 dimensions

T. Alho, V. Giangreco M. Puletti, R. Pourhasan +1

The strong coupling dynamics of a 2+1 dimensional U(1) gauge theory coupled to charged matter is holographically modeled via a top-down construction with intersecting D3- and D5-br…

Non-equilibrium steady state in the hydro regime

Razieh Pourhasan

We study the existence and properties of the non-equilibrium steady state which arises by putting two copies of systems at different temperatures into a thermal contact. We solve t…

Spacetime Entanglement with f(R) Gravity

Razieh Pourhasan

We study the entanglement entropy of a general region in a theory of induced gravity using holographic calculations. In particular we use holographic entanglement entropy prescript…

Geometric RG Flow

Steven Jackson, Razieh Pourhasan, Herman Verlinde

We define geometric RG flow equations that specify the scale dependence of the renormalized effective action Gamma[g] and the geometric entanglement entropy S[x] of a QFT, consider…

Out of the White Hole: A Holographic Origin for the Big Bang

Razieh Pourhasan, Niayesh Afshordi, Robert B. Mann

While most of the singularities of General Relativity are expected to be safely hidden behind event horizons by the cosmic censorship conjecture, we happen to live in the causal fu…

On Spacetime Entanglement

Robert C. Myers, Razieh Pourhasan, Michael Smolkin

We examine the idea that in quantum gravity, the entanglement entropy of a general region should be finite and the leading contribution is given by the Bekenstein-Hawking area law.…

Entropy balance in holographic superconductors

Sean A. Hartnoll, Razieh Pourhasan

In systems undergoing second order phase transitions, the temperature integral of the specific heat over temperature from zero to the critical temperature is the same in both the n…

Chameleon Gravity, Electrostatics, and Kinematics in the Outer Galaxy

R. Pourhasan, N. Afshordi, R. B. Mann +1

Light scalar fields are expected to arise in theories of high energy physics (such as string theory), and find phenomenological motivations in dark energy, dark matter, or neutrino…

Gauss-Bonnet Black Holes and Heavy Fermion Metals

R. B. Mann, R. Pourhasan

We consider charged black holes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity with Lifshitz boundary conditions. We find that this class of models can reproduce the anomalous specific heat of c…

Topological Black Holes of Gauss-Bonnet-Yang-Mills Gravity

M. H. Dehghani, N. Bostani, R. Pourhasan

We present the asymptotically AdS solutions of Gauss-Bonnet gravity with hyperbolic horizon in the presence of a non-Abelian Yang-Mills field with the gauge semisimple group $So(n(…

Thermodynamic Instability of Black Holes of Third Order Lovelock Gravity

M. H. Dehghani, R. Pourhasan

In this paper, we compute the mass and the temperature of the uncharged black holes of third order Lovelock gravity and compute the entropy through the use of first law of thermody…
