Coherent states versus Glauber-Sudarshan States: Bootstrapping, Schwinger-Keldysh Contours and Lefschetz Thimbles
Heliudson Bernardo, Tatsuya Daniel, Keshav Dasgupta +3
We investigate how, in a highly constrained system such as a four-dimensional diffeomorphism-invariant theory with vanishing bulk Hamiltonian and non-trivial interactions between t…

Collective field theory of gauged multi-matrix models: Integrating out off-diagonal strings
Suddhasattwa Brahma, Robert Brandenberger, Keshav Dasgupta +2
We study a two-matrix toy model with a BFSS-like interaction term using the collective field formalism. The main technical simplification is obtained by gauge-fixing first, and int…
