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 ... -
Explorations in the Conformal Bootstrap
(University of Waterloo, 2017-07-19)We investigate properties of various conformally invariant quantum systems, especially from the point of view of the conformal bootstrap. First, we study twist line defects in three-dimensional conformal field theories. ... -
Holographic Entanglement Entropy: RG Flows and Singular Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-23)Over the past decade, the AdS/CFT correspondence has proven to be a remarkable tool to study various properties of strongly coupled field theories. In the context of the holography, Ryu and Takayanagi have proposed an ... -
Holographic Experiments on Defects
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-03)Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study the anisotropic transport properties of both supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric matter fields on (2+1)-dimensional defects coupled to a (3+1)-dimensional N=4 SYM "heat bath". ...
