Universality in the OPE Coefficients of Holographic 2d CFTs

Ben Michel

The thermodynamic stability of large AdS black holes implies that Cardy's formula for the density of states remains approximately valid when in h…

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…

Corrections in the relative entropy of black hole microstates

Ben Michel, Andrea Puhm

Inspired by the recent work of Bao and Ooguri (BO), we study the distinguishability of the black hole microstates from the thermal state as captured by the average of their relativ…

Entanglement Entropy and Boundary Conditions in 1+1 Dimensions

Ben Michel, Mark Srednicki

Calculations of the entanglement entropy of a spatial region in continuum quantum field theory require boundary conditions on the fields at the fictitious boundary of the region. T…

Remarks on Rindler Quantization

Ben Michel

We review the quantization of scalar and gauge fields using Rindler coordinates with an emphasis on the physics of the Rindler horizon. In the thermal state at the Unruh temperatur…

A rough end for smooth microstate geometries

Donald Marolf, Ben Michel, Andrea Puhm

Supersymmetric microstate geometries with five non-compact dimensions have recently been shown by Eperon, Reall, and Santos (ERS) to exhibit a non-linear instability featuring the…
