Hot multiboundary wormholes from bipartite entanglement (2015)
Journal Article
Marolf, D., Maxfield, H., Peach, A., & Ross, S. (2015). Hot multiboundary wormholes from bipartite entanglement. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 32(21), https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/32/21/215006

We analyze the 1+1 CFT states dual to hot (time-symmetric) 2+1 multiboundary AdS wormholes. These are black hole geometries with high local temperature, $n\geqslant 1$ asymptotically-AdS3 regions, and arbitrary internal topology. The dual state at t...

Connection versus metric description for non-AdS solutions in higher-spin theories (2015)
Journal Article

We consider recently-constructed solutions of three-dimensional ${SL}(N,{\mathbb{R}})\times {SL}(N,{\mathbb{R}})$ Chern–Simons theories with non-relativistic symmetries. Solutions of the Chern–Simons theories can generically be mapped to solutions of... Read More about Connection versus metric description for non-AdS solutions in higher-spin theories.

Schrödinger holography with z = 2 (2015)
Journal Article

We investigate holography for asymptotically Schrödinger spacetimes, using a frame formalism based on the anisotropic scaling symmetry. We build on our previous work on $z\lt 2$ to propose a dictionary for z = 2. For z = 2, the scaling symmetry does... Read More about Schrödinger holography with z = 2.

Behind the geon horizon (2015)
Journal Article

We explore the Papadodimas–Raju prescription for reconstructing the region behind the horizon of one-sided black holes in AdS/CFT in the case of the P2 geon—a simple, analytic example of a single-sided, asymptotically AdS3 black hole, which correspo... Read More about Behind the geon horizon.

Schrödinger holography for z<2 (2015)
Journal Article
Andrade, T., Keeler, C., Ross, S., & Peach, A. (2015). Schrödinger holography for z

We investigate holography for asymptotically Schrödinger spacetimes, using a frame formalism. Our dictionary is based on the anisotropic scaling symmetry. We consider z < 2, where the holographic dictionary is cleaner; we make some comments on z = 2.... Read More about Schrödinger holography for z<2.

Scattering amplitudes in Lifshitz spacetime (2014)
Journal Article

We consider the calculation of scattering amplitudes in field theories dual to Lifshitz spacetimes. These amplitudes provide an interesting probe of the IR structure of the field theory; our aim is to use them to explore the observable consequences o...

On the oscillation of species (2014)
Journal Article

We describe a new class of BPS objects called magnetubes: their supersymmetry is determined by their magnetic charges, while their electric charges can oscillate freely between different species. We show how to incorporate these objects into microsta... Read More about On the oscillation of species.

Multiboundary Wormholes and Holographic Entanglement (2014)
Journal Article

The AdS/CFT correspondence relates quantum entanglement between boundary conformal field theories and geometric connections in the dual asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime. We consider entangled states in the $n$-fold tensor product of a 1 + 1 di... Read More about Multiboundary Wormholes and Holographic Entanglement.

Black holes, entanglement and random matrices (2014)
Journal Article

We provide evidence that strong quantum entanglement between Hilbert spaces does not generically create semiclassical wormholes between the corresponding geometric regions in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We propose a description of low-... Read More about Black holes, entanglement and random matrices.

Entanglement and correlations near extremality: CFTs dual to Reissner-Nordström AdS5 (2014)

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.

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...

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

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.
