Smoothed Transitions in Higher Spin AdS Gravity
Shamik Banerjee, Alejandra Castro, Simeon Hellerman +4
We consider CFTs conjectured to be dual to higher spin theories of gravity in AdS_3 and AdS_4. Two dimensional CFTs with W_N symmetry are considered in the lambda=0 (k --> infinity…
Light States in Chern-Simons Theory Coupled to Fundamental Matter
Shamik Banerjee, Simeon Hellerman, Jonathan Maltz +1
Motivated by developments in vectorlike holography, we study SU(N) Chern-Simons theory coupled to matter fields in the fundamental representation on various spatial manifolds. On t…
The Three Faces of a Fixed Point
Daniel Harlow, Stephen H. Shenker, Douglas Stanford +1
It has been argued that the only mathematically precise quantum descriptions of gravitating systems are from vantage points which allow an unbounded amount of information to be gat…
