Emergent gravity from Eguchi-Kawai reduction
Edgar Shaghoulian
Holographic theories with a local gravitational dual have a number of striking features. Here I argue that many of these features are controlled by the Eguchi-Kawai mechanism, whic…
Modular invariance on and circle fibrations
Edgar Shaghoulian
I conjecture a high-temperature/low-temperature duality for conformal field theories defined on circle fibrations like and its lens space family. The duality is an exchange b…
Late-time Structure of the Bunch-Davies FRW Wavefunction
George Konstantinidis, Raghu Mahajan, Edgar Shaghoulian
In this short note we organize a perturbation theory for the Bunch-Davies wavefunction in flat, accelerating cosmologies. The calculational technique avoids the in-in formalism and…
Timelike BKL singularities and chaos in AdS/CFT
Edgar Shaghoulian, Huajia Wang
We study the nature of a family of curvature singularities which are precisely the timelike cousins of the spacelike singularities studied by Belinski, Khalatnikov, and Lifshitz (B…
