Relative entropy in quantum field theory: the case of squeezed fermions

Markus B. Fröb

We review the role of relative entropy in quantum field theories, where the local von Neumann algebras are generically of type III. Consequently, only few exact results are known,…

Relative entropy for in the Rindler wedge

Markus B. Fröb, Albert Much, Kyriakos Papadopoulos

We consider the relative entropy between the vacuum and a coherent state in the Rindler wedge for an interacting theory to first order in . We construct the perturbativel…

Integral representations of -divergences for general von Neumann algebras

Ricardo Correa da Silva, Markus B. Fröb, Gandalf Lechner +1

We define and analyze hockeystick divergences and -divergences for normal positive functionals on general von Neumann algebras, generalizing and unifying previous work in classi…

Bounding relative entropy for non-unitary excitations in quantum field theory

Markus B. Fröb, Leonardo Sangaletti

We show how one can use the convexity of non-commutative norms to bound the relative entropy between a faithful state on a von Neumann algebra and an arbitrary excitation the…

A proposal for the algebra of a novel noncommutative spacetime

Markus B. Fröb, Albert Much, Kyriakos Papadopoulos

We investigate the quantum structure of spacetime at fundamental scales via a novel, Lorentz-invariant noncommutative coordinate framework. Building on insights from noncommutative…

Finite relative entropy for locally squeezed states

Daniela Cadamuro, Markus B. Fröb, Dimitrios Katsinis +1

Relative entropy serves as a fundamental measure of state distinguishability in both quantum information theory and relativistic quantum field theory. Despite its conceptual import…

Measurements in stochastic gravity and thermal variance

Markus B. Fröb, Dražen Glavan, Paolo Meda

We analyze the thermal fluctuations of a free, conformally invariant, Maxwell quantum field (photon) interacting with a cosmological background spacetime, in the framework of quant…

Relating the modular Hamiltonian to two-point functions

Markus B. Fröb

We consider the modular Hamiltonian associated to standard subspaces for a free scalar field in a globally hyperbolic spacetime in an arbitrary Gaussian state. We show how the modu…

De Sitter quantum gravity within the covariant Lorentzian approach to asymptotic safety

Edoardo D'Angelo, Renata Ferrero, Markus B. Fröb

Recent technical and conceptual advancements in the asymptotic safety approach to quantum gravity have enabled studies of the UV completion of Lorentzian Einstein gravity, emphasiz…

Global Hyperbolicity and Self-adjointness

Markus B. Fröb, Albert Much, Kyriakos Papadopoulos

We show that the spatial part of the Klein-Gordon operator is an essentially self-adjoint operator on the Cauchy surfaces of various classes of spacetimes. Our proof employs the in…

Modular Hamiltonian and modular flow of massless fermions on a cylinder

Daniela Cadamuro, Markus B. Fröb, Guillem Pérez-Nadal

We determine explicitly the modular flow and the modular Hamiltonian for massless free fermions in diamonds on a cylinder in 1+1 dimensions. We consider both periodic and antiperio…

Entropy-area law and temperature of de Sitter horizons from modular theory

Edoardo D'Angelo, Markus B. Fröb, Stefano Galanda +3

We derive an entropy-area law for the future horizon of an observer in diamonds inside the static patch of de Sitter spacetime, taking into account the backreaction of quantum matt…

A quantum energy inequality in the Sine--Gordon model

Markus B. Fröb, Daniela Cadamuro

We consider the stress tensor in the massless Sine--Gordon model in the finite regime of the theory. We prove convergence of the renormalised perturbative series for th…

One-loop quantum gravitational corrections to the scalar two-point function at fixed geodesic distance

Markus B. Fröb

We study a proposal for gauge-invariant correlation functions in perturbative quantum gravity, which are obtained by fixing the geodesic distance between points in the fluctuating…
