Open-Closed-Open Triality Beyond Matrix Models
Edward A. Mazenc, Debmalya Sarkar
We explore the ideas of open-closed-open triality within twisted holography. Starting from two transverse stacks of branes in the B-model on the resolved conifold, we obtain two eq…
Worldsheet Duals to One-Matrix Models
Alessandro Giacchetto, Rajesh Gopakumar, Edward A. Mazenc
We derive a concrete closed string dual to any interacting Hermitian one-matrix model, away from the double-scaling limit. Matrix and string correlators manifestly agree, to all or…
Matrix Correlators as Discrete Volumes of Moduli Space I: Recursion Relations, the BMN-limit and DSSYK
Alessandro Giacchetto, Pronobesh Maity, Edward A. Mazenc
We show certain correlators in generic one-matrix models define a notion of ``discrete'' volumes of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, generalizing the connection between random…
Strings from Feynman Diagrams
Rajesh Gopakumar, Rishabh Kaushik, Shota Komatsu +2
For correlators in Super Yang-Mills preserving half the supersymmetry, we manifestly recast the gauge theory Feynman diagram expansion as a sum over dual closed str…
Deriving the Simplest Gauge-String Duality -- I: Open-Closed-Open Triality
Rajesh Gopakumar, Edward A. Mazenc
We lay out an approach to derive the closed string dual to the simplest possible gauge theory, a single hermitian matrix integral, in the conventional 't Hooft large limit. In…
The Schur Expansion of Characteristic Polynomials and Random Matrices
Taro Kimura, Edward A. Mazenc
We develop a new framework to compute the exact correlators of characteristic polynomials, and their inverses, in random matrix theory. Our results hold for general potentials and…
de Sitter Microstates from and the Hawking-Page Transition
Evan Coleman, Edward A. Mazenc, Vasudev Shyam +4
We obtain microstates accounting for the Gibbons-Hawking entropy in , along with a subleading logarithmic correction, from the solvable deformation of a seed CF…
A Deformation for Curved Spacetimes from 3d Gravity
Edward A. Mazenc, Vasudev Shyam, Ronak M Soni
We propose a generalisation of the deformation to curved spaces by defining, and solving, a suitable flow equation for the partition function. We provide evidence it is…
Target Space Entanglement Entropy
Edward A. Mazenc, Daniel Ranard
We define a notion of target space entanglement entropy. Rather than partitioning the base space on which the theory is defined, we consider partitions of the target space. This is…
A Path Integral Realization of Joint , and Flows
Jeremías Aguilera-Damia, Victor I. Giraldo-Rivera, Edward A. Mazenc +2
We recast the joint , and deformations as coupling the original theory to a mixture of topological gravity and gauge theory. This geometrizes the ge…
Topological order in matrix Ising models
Sean A. Hartnoll, Edward A. Mazenc, Zhengyan D. Shi
We study a family of models for an matrix worth of Ising spins . In the large limit we show that the spins soften, so that the partition function is…
Matrix Quantum Mechanics from Qubits
Sean A. Hartnoll, Liza Huijse, Edward A. Mazenc
We introduce a transverse field Ising model with order N^2 spins interacting via a nonlocal quartic interaction. The model has an O(N,Z), hyperoctahedral, symmetry. We show that th…
Entanglement entropy in two dimensional string theory
Sean A. Hartnoll, Edward Mazenc
To understand an emergent spacetime is to understand the emergence of locality. Entanglement entropy is a powerful diagnostic of locality, because locality leads to a large amount…
Primordial Bispectrum from Multifield Inflation with Nonminimal Couplings
David I. Kaiser, Edward A. Mazenc, Evangelos I. Sfakianakis
Realistic models of high-energy physics include multiple scalar fields. Renormalization requires that the fields have nonminimal couplings to the spacetime Ricci curvature scalar,…
