Gravitational Wilson lines in AdS
Eric D'Hoker, Per Kraus
The construction of gravitational Wilson lines in the Chern-Simons formulation of gravity in terms of composite operators in the dual boundary conformal field theory is rev…
Semi-classical Virasoro blocks: proof of exponentiation
Mert Besken, Shouvik Datta, Per Kraus
Virasoro conformal blocks are expected to exponentiate in the limit of large central charge and large operator dimensions , with the ratios held fixed. We prove th…
Quantum thermalization and Virasoro symmetry
Mert Besken, Shouvik Datta, Per Kraus
We initiate a systematic study of high energy matrix elements of local operators in 2d CFT. Knowledge of these is required in order to determine whether the eigenstate thermalizati…
Typicality and thermality in 2d CFT
Shouvik Datta, Per Kraus, Ben Michel
We identify typical high energy eigenstates in two-dimensional conformal field theories at finite and establish that correlation functions of the stress tensor in such states a…
