Comments on Thermalization in 2D CFT

Jan de Boer, Dalit Engelhardt

We revisit certain aspects of thermalization in 2D CFT. In particular, we consider similarities and differences between the time dependence of correlation functions in various stat…

Holographic de Sitter Geometry from Entanglement in Conformal Field Theory

Jan de Boer, Michal P. Heller, Robert C. Myers +1

We demonstrate that for general conformal field theories (CFTs), the entanglement for small perturbations of the vacuum is organized in a novel holographic way. For spherical entan…

Moulting Black Holes

Iosif Bena, Borun D. Chowdhury, Jan de Boer +2

We find a family of novel supersymmetric phases of the D1-D5 CFT, which in certain ranges of charges have more entropy than all known ensembles. We also find bulk BPS configuration…

Holographic Brownian Motion and Time Scales in Strongly Coupled Plasmas

Ardian Nata Atmaja, Jan de Boer, Masaki Shigemori

We study Brownian motion of a heavy quark in field theory plasma in the AdS/CFT setup and discuss the time scales characterizing the interaction between the Brownian particle and p…

Lattice Models with N=2 Supersymmetry

Paul Fendley, Kareljan Schoutens, Jan de Boer

We introduce lattice models with explicit N=2 supersymmetry. In these interacting models, the supersymmetry generators Q^+ and Q^- yield the Hamiltonian H={Q^+,Q^-} on any graph. T…

Supersymmetric Conical Defects: Towards a string theoretic description of black hole formation

Vijay Balasubramanian, Jan de Boer, Esko Keski-Vakkuri +1

Conical defects, or point particles, in AdS_3 are one of the simplest non-trivial gravitating systems, and are particularly interesting because black holes can form from their coll…
