We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for large N conformal field theories to have a universal free energy and an extended range of validity of the higher dimensional Cardy formula. These constraints are much tighter than in two dimensions and must be satisfied by any conformal field theory dual to Einstein gravity. We construct and analyze symmetric product orbifold theories on I'd and show that they only realize the necessary phase structure and extended range of validity if the seed theory is assumed to have a universal vacuum energy.

On the stress tensor light-ray operator algebra

Alexandre Belin, Diego M. Hofman, Gregoire Mathys, Matthew T. Walters

Summary: The study focuses on correlation functions involving generalized ANEC operators and extracting the algebra of these light-ray operators. A global subalgebra spanned by specific n values exists in conformal theories, while operators outside this range give rise to an infinite central term.

Random statistics of OPE coefficients and Euclidean wormholes

Alexandre Belin, Jan de Boer

Summary: The study proposes an ansatz for OPE coefficients in chaotic conformal field theories, generalizing the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis and describing heavy operators as random variables with a Gaussian distribution. By applying this ansatz in two dimensions, higher moments of OPE coefficients can be calculated and analyzed, while also relating them to genus-2 partition functions and their squares in the context of AdS(3) Einstein gravity solutions. The research suggests that calculations based on the semi-classical low-energy gravitational theory are primarily affected by the random nature of OPE coefficients, explaining the lack of factorization in partition function products.

Complexity for Conformal Field Theories in General Dimensions

Nicolas Chagnet, Shira Chapman, Jan de Boer, Claire Zukowski

Summary: The study explores the circuit complexity of conformal field theory states in arbitrary dimensions, with circuits moving along a unitary representation of the Lorentzian conformal group. Different choices of distance functions are understood in terms of the geometry of coadjoint orbits of the conformal group. The study explicitly relates circuits to timelike geodesics in anti-de Sitter space, and the complexity metric to distances between these geodesics, extending the method to circuits in other symmetry groups using a group theoretic generalization of coherent states concept.

Does Complexity Equal Anything?

Alexandre Belin, Robert C. Myers, Shan-Ming Ruan, Gabor Sarosi, Antony J. Speranza

Summary: This paper presents a new infinite class of gravitational observables in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space living on codimension-one slices of the geometry, the most famous of which is the volume of the maximal slice. The authors show that these observables display universal features for the thermofield-double state, growing linearly in time at late times and reproducing the switchback effect in shock wave geometries. They argue that any member of this class of observables is an equally viable candidate as the extremal volume for a gravitational dual of complexity.

The central dogma and cosmological horizons

Edgar Shaghoulian

Summary: This paper explores whether the central dogma of cosmological horizons has any support and proposes consistent answers with the quantum theory of de Sitter space, including a vanishing total entropy, an entropy of A/4G(N) on a single static patch, increasing entropy of a subregion as the region size grows, an island-like transition at half the horizon size, and a de Sitter version of the Hartman-Maldacena transition.

Charged eigenstate thermalization, Euclidean wormholes and global symmetries in quantum gravity

Alexandre Belin, Jan de Boer, Pranjal Nayak, Julian Sonner

Summary: In this paper, we generalize the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis to systems with global symmetries and present two versions considering microscopic charge conservation and exponentially suppressed violations. These versions agree for correlation functions of simple operators, but differ in the variance of charged one-point functions at finite temperature. Applying these ideas to holography and gravitational low-energy effective theories, we find that Euclidean wormholes predict a non-zero variance for charged one-point functions, which contradicts microscopic charge conservation. This implies that global symmetries in quantum gravity must either be gauged or explicitly broken by non-perturbative effects.

Virasoro entanglement Berry phases

Jan de Boer, Ricardo Espindola, Bahman Najian, Dimitrios Patramanis, Jeremy van Der Heijden, Claire Zukowski

Summary: We study the parallel transport of modular Hamiltonians encoding entanglement properties of a state. In the case of 2d CFT, we find that the parallel transport process corresponds to a symplectic form in Euclidean geometry, which plays an important role in the entanglement wedge.

Carroll Symmetry, Dark Energy and Inflation

Jan de Boer, Jelle Hartong, Niels A. Obers, Watse Sybesma, Stefan Vandoren

Summary: Carroll symmetry, arising from the limit of vanishing speed of light, is studied and constraints on the energy-momentum tensor are determined. The findings suggest that Carroll symmetry may be relevant for dark energy and inflation.

Non-Gaussianities in the statistical distribution of heavy OPE coefficients and wormholes

Alexandre Belin, Jan de Boer, Diego Liska

Summary: The study investigates non-Gaussian corrections to the statistical distribution of heavy-heavy-heavy OPE coefficients in chaotic two-dimensional conformal field theories, finding that these corrections are further exponentially suppressed in the entropy, much like the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis.

OPE statistics from higher-point crossing

Tarek Anous, Alexandre Belin, Jan de Boer, Diego Liska

Summary: New asymptotic formulas for the distribution of OPE coefficients in conformal field theories are presented. These formulas, derived from crossing symmetry, involve products of multiple coefficients and introduce non-gaussianities into the statistical distribution.

Deforming symmetric product orbifolds: a tale of moduli and higher spin currents

Luis Apolo, Alexandre Belin, Suzanne Bintanja, Alejandra Castro, Christoph A. Keller

Summary: This study analyzes how deforming symmetric product orbifolds of two-dimensional N = 2 conformal field theories by an exactly marginal operator lifts higher spin currents present at the orbifold point. The results show that these currents are universally lifted regardless of the underlying CFT, but the details of the lifting depend on the central charge of the underlying CFT and the specific marginal operator in use. These findings are important for understanding the mechanism by which the stringy spectrum turns into a supergravity spectrum and the holographic nature of symmetric product orbifolds.

Holographic non-Fermi liquids at large d

Shamit Kachru, Milind Shyani

Summary: Motivated by Dynamical Mean Field Theory results, this study examines the two-point function of fermions in an AdS(d+1) charged black brane background in the large d limit. We find the emergence of a locally critical form of the fermion self-energy with a highly constrained range of scaling behaviors at large d. Notable differences from the analysis in d=3,4 include an expanded range of temperatures where the results are applicable and the analytical tractability of the calculations.

Escaping the interiors of pure boundary-state black holes

Ahmed Almheiri, Alexandros Mousatov, Milind Shyani

Summary: We study a type of pure black hole microstates and show that they can escape by activating certain double trace deformations in the CFT. These microstates are associated with BCFT states prepared through a Euclidean path integral starting from a boundary in Euclidean time. They are connected to black holes in the bulk with an End-of-the-World brane, which is a timelike boundary of the spacetime behind the horizon. By adjusting the sign of the coupling of the double trace operator to the boundary conditions on the brane, the deformation introduces negative energy into the black hole, resulting in time advancement for signals behind the horizon. We demonstrate that the escapability property of the considered microstates is directly related to the traversability of deformed wormholes. We also briefly discuss the reconstruction of the black hole interior and state dependence.

Analyticity of replica correlators and modular ETH

Milind Shyani

Summary: We study the two point correlation function of a local operator on an n-sheeted replica manifold corresponding to the half-space in the vacuum state of a conformal field theory. In analogy with the inverse Laplace transform, we define the Renyi transform of this correlation function, which is a function of one complex variable w, dual to the Renyi parameter n. Inspired by the inversion formula of Caron-Huot, we argue that if the Renyi transform f (w) has bounded behavior at infinity in the complex w plane, the discontinuity of the Renyi transform disc f (w) provides the unique analytic continuation in n of the original replica correlation function. We check our formula by explicitly calculating the Renyi transform of a particular replica correlator in a large N holographic CFTd in dimensions d > 2. We also discover that the discontinuity of the Renyi transform is related to the matrix element of local operators between two distinct eigenstates of the modular Hamiltonian. We calculate the Renyi transform in 2d conformal field theories, and use it to extract the off-diagonal elements of (modular) ETH. We argue that in 2d, this is equivalent to the off-diagonal OPE coefficients of a CFT and show that our technique exactly reproduces recent results in the literature.
