Journal Article

The holographic prescription for computing entanglement entropy requires that the bulk extremal surface, whose area encodes the amount of entanglement, satisfies a homology constraint. Usually this is stated as the requirement of a (spacelike) interp... Read More about Topological aspects of generalized gravitational entropy.

Entanglement entropy in three dimensional gravity (2015)

The Ryu-Takayanagi (RT) and covariant Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi (HRT) proposals relate entanglement entropy in CFTs with holographic duals to the areas of minimal or extremal surfaces in the bulk geometry. We show how, in three dimensional pure gra... Read More about Entanglement entropy in three dimensional gravity.

Holographic probes of collapsing black holes (2014)
Journal Article

We continue the programme of exploring the means of holographically decoding the geometry of spacetime inside a black hole using the gauge/gravity correspondence. To this end, we study the behaviour of certain extremal surfaces (focusing on those rel... Read More about Holographic probes of collapsing black holes.
