Holographic Tests of the Ensemble
Nikolay Bobev, Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Jesse van Muiden
We study in detail a recent proposal stating that M-theory observables arising from the quantisation of M2-branes are naturally computed in a fixed ensemble. In a holographic…
Universal holographic Wilson loops in 3d SCFTs
Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Alexia Nix
We study the vacuum expectation value of half-BPS Wilson loop operators in two families of superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theories. The first family is dual to…
Ensembles in M-theory and Holography
Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Jesse van Muiden
We discuss that the string/M-theory partition function requires a choice of ensembles, depending on which background fields are held fixed. The background fields correspond to worl…
Late-Time Saturation of Black Hole Complexity
Friðrik Freyr Gautason, Vyshnav Mohan, Lárus Thorlacius
The holographic complexity of a static spherically symmetric black hole, defined as the volume of an extremal surface, grows linearly with time at late times in general relativity.…
Localisation of the M2-brane
Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Jesse van Muiden
We study quantum M2-branes in holographic backgrounds and show that their moduli spaces of zero-modes are localised according to an R-symmetry Killing vector. We discuss the relati…
Spherical Branes and the BMN Matrix Quantum Mechanics
Nikolay Bobev, Pieter Bomans, Fridrik Freyr Gautason
We study the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on using supersymmetric localisation and holography. We argue that the analytic continuation in dimension to yie…
