Fine-Grained Chaos in Gravity

Felix M. Haehl, Moshe Rozali

Quantum chaos can be characterized by an exponential growth of the thermal out-of-time-order four-point function up to a scrambling time . We discuss generalizations…

Higher Curvature Gravity from Entanglement in Conformal Field Theories

Felix M. Haehl, Eliot Hijano, Onkar Parrikar +1

By generalizing different recent works to the context of higher curvature gravity, we provide a unifying framework for three related results: (i) If an asymptotically AdS spacetime…

Schwinger-Keldysh superspace in quantum mechanics

Michael Geracie, Felix M. Haehl, R. Loganayagam +3

We examine, in a quantum mechanical setting, the Hilbert space representation of the BRST symmetry associated with Schwinger-Keldysh path integrals. This structure had been postula…

Thermal out-of-time-order correlators, KMS relations, and spectral functions

Felix M. Haehl, R. Loganayagam, Prithvi Narayan +2

We describe general features of thermal correlation functions in quantum systems, with specific focus on the fluctuation-dissipation type relations implied by the KMS condition. Th…

Nonlinear Gravity from Entanglement in Conformal Field Theories

Thomas Faulkner, Felix M. Haehl, Eliot Hijano +3

In this paper, we demonstrate the emergence of nonlinear gravitational equations directly from the physics of a broad class of conformal field theories. We consider CFT excited sta…

Two roads to hydrodynamic effective actions: a comparison

Felix M. Haehl, R. Loganayagam, Mukund Rangamani

We make a detailed comparison between two attempts in recent years to construct hydrodynamic effective actions: we compare our work [1-7] with that of Crossley-Glorioso-Liu [8] and…

Towards a second law for Lovelock theories

Sayantani Bhattacharyya, Felix M. Haehl, Nilay Kundu +2

In classical general relativity described by Einstein-Hilbert gravity, black holes behave as thermodynamic objects. In particular, the laws of black hole mechanics can be interpret…

Classification of out-of-time-order correlators

Felix M. Haehl, R. Loganayagam, Prithvi Narayan +1

The space of n-point correlation functions, for all possible time-orderings of operators, can be computed by a non-trivial path integral contour, which depends on how many time-ord…
