The black hole information paradox in a brane world
(University of Waterloo, 2023-06-28)Recent progress in our understanding of the black hole information paradox has led to a new prescription for calculating entanglement entropy, which involves special subsystems in regions where gravity is dynamical, called ... -
Continuous Tensor Networks, Conformal Field Theory and Holography
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-23)Tensor network methods are playing a central role in multiple disciplines of modern quantum physics, such as condensed matter physics, quantum information and quantum gravity. Based on renormalization group (RG) ideas, ... -
Correlation Functions of Heavy Operators in AdS/CFT
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-15)In this thesis we investigate the holographic dual description of correlation functions of heavy operators in conformal field theory. These heavy operators have scaling dimension that scales with the CFT central charge in ... -
Generalized holographic dualities for metric gravity & Quantum geometry based on area variables
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-18)Holography holds promise for simplifying computations in quantum gravity. In part I of this thesis, we construct holographic boundary theories for linearized gravity, for a general family of finite or quasi-local boundaries, ... -
Gravitational Thermodynamics: From Black Holes to Holography
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-01)The subject of gravitational thermodynamics lies at the center of numerous fields of study, many of which may seem disconnected, yet have proven to be deeply entwined. This thesis examines two primary facets of this subject, ... -
Information Flow In Black Hole Equilibration
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-11)We study black hole evaporation and equilibration in the doubly holographic AEM4Z model, which consists of a double sided black hole in JT gravity with holographic matter. At t=0, the right side of the black hole is coupled ... -
On Cohomological Algebras in Supersymmetric Quantum Field Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-16)In this thesis we compute certain supersymmetric subsectors of the algebra of observables in some QFTs and demonstrate an application of such computation in checking an instance of Holographic duality. Computing the algebra ... -
Quantum Aspects of Black Holes: From Microstates to Echoes and Somewhere In-Between
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-23)In this thesis we explore quantum aspects of black holes from a variety of perspectives. In part I of this thesis we are motivated by the black hole information paradox to explore the idea of gravitational wave echoes ...
