Summary: In this study, the entanglement transition in monitored Brownian SYK chains in the large-N limit is investigated. The steady state n-th Renyi entropy is found to saturate to the Page value in the n -> 1 limit without measurement. In the presence of measurements, the analytical continuation n -> 1 is performed using the cyclic symmetric solution. The result shows a continuous von Neumann entanglement entropy transition from volume-law to area-law occurs at the point of replica symmetry unbreaking as the monitoring rate increases.

Summary: The study investigates instabilities in strongly coupled metallic systems using a modified Pomeranchuk technique applied to weakly coupled fermions in a curved AdS bulk. The resulting unstable modes correspond to instabilities in the dual holographic metal. By exploring the phase diagram at zero temperature with varying couplings, the researchers find a wide region where the system is stable and localized around the origin of coupling space.

Summary: By applying recursive renormalization group transformations to a scalar field theory, an effective quantum gravity theory with an emergent extra dimension is obtained. Dynamics of dual order-parameter field and metric tensor field originate from different effective interactions in the Gaussian level approximation. In the large N limit, quantum fluctuations of dynamical metric and dual scalar fields are suppressed, leading to a classical field theory in (D+1)-spacetime dimensions.

Summary: The study defines defect extremal surface by minimizing the Ryu-Takayanagi surface corrected by the quantum theory localized on the defect, and extends the results to higher dimensions. It is found that the entropy computed from bulk defect extremal surface is generally less than that from island formula in boundary low energy effective theory, suggesting a smaller entropy from the UV completion of island formula.

Summary: We propose a three-dimensional counterpart for Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity coupled with CFT2 bath based on partial reduction. The counterpart is classical AdS gravity with a defect brane having small fluctuation in the transverse direction. By treating the transverse fluctuation as a dilaton field, we derive the full Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity action. We demonstrate that the fine-grained entropy computed from the island formula precisely agrees with that computed from the defect extremal surface. Our construction provides a Lorentzian higher-dimensional counterpart for Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity glued to a bath, offering a framework to study problems like the black hole information paradox.

Summary: In this study, holography was utilized to derive effective theories of fluctuations in spontaneously broken phases, with a focus on systems with finite temperature, chemical potential, magnetic field, and momentum relaxation where translations are broken. The hydrodynamic modes corresponding to coupled thermoelectric and density wave fluctuations were analytically constructed, revealing them to be purely diffusive in the system. Introduction of pinning for density waves resulted in some modes acquiring not only a gap, but also a finite resonance due to the presence of a magnetic field. Optical properties were studied and numerical checks of the analytical results were performed. An important outcome of the analysis was the identification of the correct current responsible for heat transport in the system.

Summary: In this study, holography was utilized to investigate the dynamics of a vortex-anti-vortex dipole in a strongly coupled superfluid in 2+1 dimensions. Numerical real-time simulations were used to track the evolution of vortices as they approached and annihilated each other. Universal trajectories of vortices were identified, while non-universal effects were attributed to numerical artifacts in vortex initialization. Additionally, the dependence of dynamics on superfluid temperature was explored.

Summary: This article revisits the case of a real scalar field in global AdS4 under periodic driving. The authors address the issue of adiabatic preparation and deformation of a time-periodic solution corresponding to a Floquet condensate. They carefully study the case of driving close to the normal mode resonant frequencies and examine different slow protocols. The results show that traversing a normal mode frequency has different consequences depending on the sense of the frequency modulation.

Summary: Within the framework of AdS/CFT duality, excited states of the conformal field in four-dimensional spacetime Einstein gravity are analytically investigated. The threshold chemical potential for excited condensate states is found to be discrete with equal spacing at T -> 0. This behavior holds even for low excited states, and is especially significant in the liquid phase of the black hole van der Waals-like phase transition. The continuous spectrum of excited states is missed in previous studies and should be carefully considered in AdS/CFT duality studies.

Summary: This study investigates the breakdown of diffusive hydrodynamics in holographic systems dual to neutral dilatonic black holes with extremal near horizon geometries conformal to AdS(2) x R-2. The research shows that by tuning the effective gauge coupling constant at low temperatures, different scaling behaviors of local equilibrium scales can be achieved, and the upper bound for the charge diffusion constant is always satisfied using the velocity and timescale of local equilibration from the pole collision.

Summary: In this study, dissipation in holographic superfluids at finite temperature and zero chemical potential is investigated. By using analytic techniques, constitutive relations including the first non-trivial dissipative terms are derived, and transport coefficients are determined based on thermodynamic quantities and black hole horizon data. The breakdown of the hydrodynamic expansion is explicitly demonstrated by analyzing the behavior of these coefficients near the phase transition. Additionally, the resonant frequency and decay rate of the pseudo-Goldstone mode induced by introducing a perturbative symmetry breaking source are determined.

Summary: In this study, stringy effects in a potential gravity-dual picture for SYK-like models are related to the branching time, which is a kinetic coefficient defined by the retarded kernel. A bound on the branching time is proposed when assuming the leading diagrams are ladders with thin rungs, suggesting that such models are unlikely candidates for sub-AdS holography. Additionally, in the weak coupling limit, a relationship between the branching time, Lyapunov exponent, and quasiparticle lifetime is derived using two different approximations.

Summary: In this work, we investigate non-equilibrium dynamics in Floquet conformal field theories in 1+1D, exploring a generalized case involving the full Virasoro algebra. The phase diagram is determined by the stroboscopic trajectories of operator evolution, showing heating/non-heating phases based on the presence/absence of spatial fixed points. The heating regime is further divided into multiple phases with different entanglement patterns and energy-momentum density distributions, characterized by the number of spatial fixed points, with phase transitions between these phases achieved by altering the duration of the driving Hamiltonian.

Summary: Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) are a standard measure of quantum chaos. In this study, we demonstrate how to obtain the OTOC by combining two solutions for perturbations propagating forward and backward in time. We also provide a closed form expression for the OTOC in the large-q SYK model and prove a conjectured relationship between the Lyapunov exponent and high-frequency behavior of the spectral function.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the properties of randomly driven (1 + 1) dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs), revealing the characteristics of non-equilibrium dynamical phases, including the heating phase and exceptional points. In most cases, random drivings lead to exponential growth of total energy and linear growth of subsystem entanglement entropy. However, at exceptional points, the subsystem entanglement entropy may grow as the square root of the number of driving steps, while the total energy still grows exponentially. Furthermore, we distinguish the heating phase from exceptional points by analyzing the distributions of operator evolution and energy density peaks.

Summary: In this paper, nonequilibrium dynamics in driven (1 + 1)-dimensional conformal field theories with periodic, quasiperiodic, and random driving are studied. The focus is on the general framework, periodicity, and nonheating phases in quasiperiodically driven CFTs, especially using a Fibonacci sequence for driving. The results show remarkable agreement with lattice calculations and provide insights into the energy evolution and characteristics of spatial structures in the systems.
