Entanglement negativity and minimal entanglement wedge cross sections in holographic theories

J Kudler-Flam, S Ryu - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We calculate logarithmic negativity, a quantum entanglement measure for mixed quantum
states, in quantum error-correcting codes and find it to equal the minimal cross sectional …

The gravity dual of Rényi entropy

X Dong - Nature communications, 2016 - nature.com
A remarkable yet mysterious property of black holes is that their entropy is proportional to the
horizon area. This area law inspired the holographic principle, which was later realized …

A general proof of the quantum null energy condition

S Balakrishnan, T Faulkner, ZU Khandker… - Journal of High Energy …, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We prove a conjectured lower bound on< T__ (x)> ψ in any state ψ of a CFT on

An exact construction of codimension two holography

RX Miao - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract Recently, a codimension two holography called wedge holography is proposed as
a generalization of AdS/CFT. It is conjectured that a gravitational theory in d+ 1 dimensional …

Superconformal surfaces in four dimensions

L Bianchi, M Lemos - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We study the constraints of superconformal symmetry on codimension two defects
in four-dimensional superconformal field theories. We show that the one-point function of the …

Universality at large transverse spin in defect CFT

M Lemos, P Liendo, M Meineri, S Sarkar - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We study the spectrum of local operators living on a defect in a generic conformal
field theory, and their coupling to the local bulk operators. We establish the existence of …

Monodromy defects from hyperbolic space

S Giombi, E Helfenberger, Z Ji… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We study monodromy defects in O (N) symmetric scalar field theories in d
dimensions. After a Weyl transformation, a monodromy defect may be described by placing …
