Moving the CFT into the bulk with
Lauren McGough, Márk Mezei, Herman Verlinde
Recent work by Zamolodchikov and others has uncovered a solvable irrelevant deformation of general 2D CFTs, defined by turning on the dimension 4 operator , the product o…
An Investigation of AdS Backreaction and Holography
Julius Engelsöy, Thomas G. Mertens, Herman Verlinde
We investigate a dilaton gravity model in AdS proposed by Almheiri and Polchinski and develop a 1d effective description in terms of a dynamical boundary time with a Schwarzian…
A CFT Perspective on Gravitational Dressing and Bulk Locality
Aitor Lewkowycz, Gustavo J. Turiaci, Herman Verlinde
We revisit the construction of local bulk operators in AdS/CFT with special focus on gravitational dressing and its consequences for bulk locality. Specializing to 2+1-dimensions,…
On CFT and Quantum Chaos
Gustavo Turiaci, Herman Verlinde
We make three observations that help clarify the relation between CFT and quantum chaos. We show that any 1+1-D system in which conformal symmetry is non-linearly realized exhibits…
