Real-time observables in de Sitter thermodynamics
Manvir Grewal, Y. T. Albert Law
We study real-time finite-temperature correlators for free scalars of any mass in a static patch in any dimension. We show that whenever the inverse temperature is a rat…

Dynamical Edge Modes in -form Gauge Theories
Adam Ball, Y. T. Albert Law
We extend our recently identified dynamical edge mode boundary condition to -form gauge theories, revealing their edge modes as Goldstone bosons arising from gauge transformatio…

Quasinormal Corrections to Near-Extremal Black Hole Thermodynamics
Daniel Kapec, Y. T. Albert Law, Chiara Toldo
Recent work on the quantum mechanics of near-extremal non-supersymmetric black holes has identified a characteristic scaling of the low temperature black hole partition f…
