The gravitational S-matrix from the path integral: asymptotic symmetries and soft theorems

Jack Isen, Per Kraus, Ruben Monten +1

We extend a previously developed formulation of the S-matrix, based on a path integral with asymptotic boundary conditions, to include gravity. The path integral defines a Carrolli…

Deforming and dissecting AdS with matter

Nele Callebaut, Blanca Hergueta, Ruben Monten +1

We study deformations of the model by Henneaux, Martínez, Troncoso and Zanelli [arXiv:hep-th/0201170] which features asymptotically AdS black hole solutions that incorporate th…

Near-extremal membranes in M-theory

Alex Buchel, Ruben Monten

We consider near-extremal membranes embedded in M-theory, consistently truncated to gauged supergravity in four dimensions on the coset space . These a…

Locality and Conserved Charges in -Deformed CFTs

Ruben Monten, Richard M. Myers, Konstantinos Roumpedakis

We investigate the locality properties of -deformed CFTs within perturbation theory. Up to third order in the deformation parameter, we find a Hamiltonian operator w…

S-Matrix Path Integral Approach to Symmetries and Soft Theorems

Seolhwa Kim, Per Kraus, Ruben Monten +1

We explore a formulation of the S-matrix in terms of the path integral with specified asymptotic data, as originally proposed by Arefeva, Faddeev, and Slavnov. In the tree approxim…

Classical and quantum symmetries of -deformed CFTs

Monica Guica, Ruben Monten, Ioannis Tsiares

It has previously been proven that - deformed CFTs possess Virasoro Virasoro symmetry at the full quantum level, whose generators are obtained by simply transpor…

Refining the Cutoff 3d Gravity / Correspondence

Per Kraus, Ruben Monten, Konstantinos Roumpedakis

Pure gravity in AdS is a theory of boundary excitations, most simply expressed as a constrained free scalar with an improved stress tensor that is needed to match the Brown--He…

Field Theory of Interacting Boundary Gravitons

Stephen Ebert, Eliot Hijano, Per Kraus +2

Pure three-dimensional gravity is a renormalizable theory with two free parameters labelled by and . As a consequence, correlation functions of the boundary stress tensor in…

On the Search for Multicenter AdS Black Holes from M-theory

Ruben Monten, Chiara Toldo

We study the effective potentials for various probe branes surrounding AdS black holes with massive halos in consistent truncations of M-theory on the Sasaki-Einstein manif…

3D Gravity in a Box

Per Kraus, Ruben Monten, Richard M. Myers

The quantization of pure 3D gravity with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a finite boundary is of interest both as a model of quantum gravity in which one can compute quantities wh…

Infinite pseudo-conformal symmetries of classical , and - deformed CFTs

Monica Guica, Ruben Monten

We show that and - deformed classical CFTs possess an infinite set of symmetries that take the form of a field-dependent generalization of two-dimensio…

and the mirage of a bulk cutoff

Monica Guica, Ruben Monten

We use the variational principle approach to derive the large holographic dictionary for two-dimensional -deformed CFTs, for both signs of the deformation parameter. T…

Thermal Decay without Information Loss in Horizonless Microstate Geometries

Iosif Bena, Pierre Heidmann, Ruben Monten +1

We develop a new hybrid WKB technique to compute boundary-to-boundary scalar Green functions in asymptotically-AdS backgrounds in which the scalar wave equation is separable and is…

Higher Spin de Sitter Hilbert Space

Dionysios Anninos, Frederik Denef, Ruben Monten +1

We propose a complete microscopic definition of the Hilbert space of minimal higher spin de Sitter quantum gravity and its Hartle-Hawking vacuum state. The fundamental degrees of f…

Black holes with halos

Ruben Monten, Chiara Toldo

We present new AdS4 black hole solutions in N = 2 gauged supergravity coupled to vector and hypermultiplets. We focus on a particular consistent truncation of M-theory on the homog…

Lorentzian Condition in Holographic Cosmology

Thomas Hertog, Ruben Monten, Yannick Vreys

We derive a sufficient set of conditions on the Euclidean boundary theory in dS/CFT for it to predict classical, Lorentzian bulk evolution at large spatial volumes. Our derivation…

Grassmann Matrix Quantum Mechanics

Dionysios Anninos, Frederik Denef, Ruben Monten

We explore quantum mechanical theories whose fundamental degrees of freedom are rectangular matrices with Grassmann valued matrix elements. We study particular models where the low…
