Replica wormholes for an evaporating 2D black hole

Kanato Goto, Thomas Hartman, Amirhossein Tajdini

Quantum extremal islands reproduce the unitary Page curve of an evaporating black hole. This has been derived by including replica wormholes in the gravitational path integral, but…

Free partition functions and an averaged holographic duality

Nima Afkhami-Jeddi, Henry Cohn, Thomas Hartman +1

We study the torus partition functions of free bosonic CFTs in two dimensions. Integrating over Narain moduli defines an ensemble-averaged free CFT. We calculate the averaged parti…

High-dimensional sphere packing and the modular bootstrap

Nima Afkhami-Jeddi, Henry Cohn, Thomas Hartman +2

We carry out a numerical study of the spinless modular bootstrap for conformal field theories with current algebra , or equivalently the linear programming bo…

Replica Wormholes and the Entropy of Hawking Radiation

Ahmed Almheiri, Thomas Hartman, Juan Maldacena +2

The information paradox can be realized in anti-de Sitter spacetime joined to a Minkowski region. In this setting, we show that the large discrepancy between the von Neumann entrop…

Fast Conformal Bootstrap and Constraints on 3d Gravity

Nima Afkhami-Jeddi, Thomas Hartman, Amirhossein Tajdini

The crossing equations of a conformal field theory can be systematically truncated to a finite, closed system of polynomial equations. In certain cases, solutions of the truncated…

A Bound on Massive Higher Spin Particles

Nima Afkhami-Jeddi, Sandipan Kundu, Amirhossein Tajdini

According to common lore, massive elementary higher spin particles lead to inconsistencies when coupled to gravity. However, this scenario was not completely ruled out by previous…
