Gauss-Bonnet corrected string/black hole transition in large dimensions
Bum-Hoon Lee, Hocheol Lee, Somyadip Thakur
We develop a unified analytic treatment of the Horowitz--Polchinski string/black hole correspondence that systematically incorporates higher-derivative corrections to gravity. Work…

There and back again -- Closed timelike curves as EFT selection principle
Bum-Hoon Lee, Nils A. Nilsson, Somyadip Thakur
Modified gravity is often approached in the context of effective-field theory (EFT), with the view that the EFT corrections permit a more desirable theory. In this paper, we posit…

Entanglement Rényi entropies in celestial holography
Federico Capone, Andy O'Bannon, Ronnie Rodgers +1
Celestial holography is the conjecture that scattering amplitudes in -dimensional asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes are dual to correlators of a -dimensional conformal…
