Entanglement and correlations near extremality: CFTs dual to Reissner-Nordström AdS5 (2014)
Journal Article
Andrade, T., Fischetti, S., Marolf, D., Ross, S. F., & Rozali, M. (2014). Entanglement and correlations near extremality: CFTs dual to Reissner-Nordström AdS5. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014(4), Article 23. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep04%282014%29023

We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to study models of entanglement and correlations between two d = 4 CFTs in thermofield double states at finite chemical potential. Our bulk spacetimes are planar Reissner-Nordström AdS black holes. We compute both th... Read More about Entanglement and correlations near extremality: CFTs dual to Reissner-Nordström AdS5.

Extending the non-singular hyperscaling violating spacetimes (2014)
Journal Article
Lei, Y., & Ross, S. F. (2014). Extending the non-singular hyperscaling violating spacetimes. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 31(3), Article 035007. https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/31/3/035007

Lifshitz and hyperscaling violating geometries, which provide a holographic description of non-relativistic field theories, generically have a singularity in the infrared region of the geometry, where tidal forces for freely falling observers diverge...

Boundary conditions for metric fluctuations in Lifshitz (2013)
Journal Article
Andrade, T., & Ross, S. F. (2013). Boundary conditions for metric fluctuations in Lifshitz. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 30(19), Article 195017. https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/30/19/195017

We consider the quantization of linearized fluctuations of the metric and matter fields about a Lifshitz background, exploring the possibility of alternative boundary conditions, allowing the slow fall-off modes to fluctuate. We find that for z > 2,... Read More about Boundary conditions for metric fluctuations in Lifshitz.

A strongly-coupled zig-zag transition (2013)
Journal Article
Balasubramanian, V., Berkooz, M., Ross, S. F., & Simon, J. (2013). A strongly-coupled zig-zag transition. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2013(9), Article 66. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep09%282013%29066

The zig-zag symmetry transition is a phase transition in 1D quantum wires, in which a Wigner lattice of electrons transitions to two staggered lattices. Previous studies model this transition as a Luttinger liquid coupled to a Majorana fermion. The m... Read More about A strongly-coupled zig-zag transition.

Boundary conditions for scalars in Lifshitz (2013)
Journal Article
Andrade, T., & Ross, S. F. (2013). Boundary conditions for scalars in Lifshitz. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 30(6), Article 065009. https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/30/6/065009

We consider the quantization of scalar fields on a Lifshitz background, exploring the possibility of alternative boundary conditions, allowing the slow falloff mode to fluctuate. We show that the scalar field with alternative boundary conditions is n... Read More about Boundary conditions for scalars in Lifshitz.
