Emergent Closed Universes in Symmetric Orbifold CFTs

Akihiro Miyata, Keigo Horikoshi, Hiromasa Tajima +1

We identify closed universe sectors in large symmetric orbifold CFTs with holographic duals. Starting from tensor product states built out of a finite dimensional low energy su…

Physical Predictions in Closed Quantum Gravity

Yasunori Nomura, Tomonori Ugajin

Recent developments in gravitational path integrals indicate that the nonperturbative physical Hilbert space of a closed universe is one-dimensional within each superselection sect…

Black Hole Interior and Quantum Error Correction with Dynamical Gravity

Akihiro Miyata, Tomonori Ugajin

According to the island formula, information in the code subspace defined in the black hole interior is embedded in the Hawking radiation after the Page time. At first sight, this…

Nonperturbative Quantum Gravity in a Closed Lorentzian Universe

Yasunori Nomura, Tomonori Ugajin

We study how meaningful physical predictions can arise in nonperturbative quantum gravity in a closed Lorentzian universe. In such settings, recent developments suggest that the qu…

Double Holography of Entangled Universes

Robert C. Myers, Shan-Ming Ruan, Tomonori Ugajin

We employ double holography to examine a system of two entangled gravitating universes that live on two codimension-one branes in an asymptotically AdS spacetime with two disjo…

The Petz (lite) recovery map for scrambling channel

Yasuaki Nakayama, Akihiro Miyata, Tomonori Ugajin

We study properties of the Petz recovery map in chaotic systems, such as the Hayden-Preskill setup for evaporating black holes and the SYK model. Since these systems exhibit the ph…

de Sitter space is sometimes not empty

Vijay Balasubramanian, Yasunori Nomura, Tomonori Ugajin

Multiple lines of evidence suggest that the Hilbert space of an isolated de Sitter universe is one dimensional but can appear larger when probed by a gravitating observer. To test…

Holographic Local Operator Quenches in BCFTs

Taishi Kawamoto, Takato Mori, Yu-ki Suzuki +2

We present a gravity dual of local operator quench in a two-dimensional CFT with conformal boundaries. This is given by a massive excitation in a three-dimensional AdS space with t…

Factorizing Wormholes in a Partially Disorder-Averaged SYK Model

Kanato Goto, Kenta Suzuki, Tomonori Ugajin

In this paper, we introduce a "partially disorder-averaged" SYK model. This model has a real parameter that smoothly interpolates between the ordinary totally disorder-averaged SYK…

Entanglement between two evaporating black holes

Akihiro Miyata, Tomonori Ugajin

We study a thermo-field double type entangle state on two disjoint gravitating universes, say A and B, with an eternal black hole on each. As was shown previously, its entanglement…

A comment on a fine-grained description of evaporating black holes with baby universes

Norihiro Iizuka, Akihiro Miyata, Tomonori Ugajin

We study a partially fine-grained description of an evaporating black hole by introducing an open baby universe with a boundary. Since the Page's calculation of the entropy of Hawk…

Product of Random States and Spatial (Half-)Wormholes

Kanato Goto, Yuya Kusuki, Kotaro Tamaoka +1

We study how coarse-graining procedure of an underlying UV-complete quantum gravity gives rise to a connected geometry. It has been shown, quantum entanglement plays a key role in…

Entanglement between two gravitating universes

Vijay Balasubramanian, Arjun Kar, Tomonori Ugajin

We study two disjoint universes in an entangled pure state. When only one universe contains gravity, the path integral for the Rényi entropy includes a wormhole bet…

Evaporation of black holes in flat space entangled with an auxiliary universe

Akihiro Miyata, Tomonori Ugajin

We study a thermofield double type entangled state on two disjoint universes and , where one of the universes is asymptotically flat containing a black hole. As we increase…

Spectrum of End of the World Branes in Holographic BCFTs

Masamichi Miyaji, Tadashi Takayanagi, Tomonori Ugajin

We study overlaps between two regularized boundary states in conformal field theories. Regularized boundary states are dual to end of the world branes in an AdS black hole via the…

Wormholes and holographic decoherence

Takanori Anegawa, Norihiro Iizuka, Kotaro Tamaoka +1

We study a class of decoherence process which admits a 3 dimensional holographic bulk. Starting from a thermo-field double dual to a wormhole, we prepare another thermo-field doubl…

Islands in de Sitter space

Vijay Balasubramanian, Arjun Kar, Tomonori Ugajin

We consider black holes in 2d de Sitter JT gravity coupled to a CFT, and entangled with matter in a disjoint non-gravitating universe. Tracing out the entangling matter leaves the…

Entanglement between two disjoint universes

Vijay Balasubramanian, Arjun Kar, Tomonori Ugajin

We use the replica method to compute the entanglement entropy of a universe without gravity entangled in a thermofield-double-like state with a disjoint gravitating universe. Inclu…

Chaos and relative entropy

Yuya O. Nakagawa, Gábor Sárosi, Tomonori Ugajin

One characterization of a chaotic system is the quick delocalization of quantum information (fast scrambling). One therefore expects that in such a system a state quickly becomes l…
