Spin-statistics for black hole microstates

Y Chen, GJ Turiaci - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract The gravitational path integral can be used to compute the number of black hole
states for a given energy window, or the free energy in a thermal ensemble. In this article we …

Symmetries and spectral statistics in chaotic conformal field theories. Part II. Maass cusp forms and arithmetic chaos

FM Haehl, W Reeves, M Rozali - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We continue the study of random matrix universality in two-dimensional conformal
field theories. This is facilitated by expanding the spectral form factor in a basis of modular …

Modular invariance and thermal effective field theory in CFT

K Allameh, E Shaghoulian - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2025 - Springer
A bstract We use thermal effective field theory to derive that the coefficient of the first

Multipoint lightcone bootstrap from differential equations

A Kaviraj, JA Mann, L Quintavalle… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract One of the most striking successes of the lightcone bootstrap has been the
perturbative computation of the anomalous dimensions and OPE coefficients of double-twist …

Missing local operators, zeros, and twist-4 trajectories

J Henriksson, P Kravchuk, B Oertel - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract The number of local operators in a CFT below a given twist grows with spin.
Consistency with analyticity in spin then requires that at low spin, infinitely many Regge …

Lightcone modular bootstrap and Tauberian theory: A Cardy-like formula for near-extremal black holes

S Pal, J Qiao - Annales Henri Poincaré, 2024 - Springer
We show that for a unitary modular invariant 2D CFT with central charge c> 1 and having a
nonzero twist gap in the spectrum of Virasoro primaries, for sufficiently large spin J, there …

What is the graviton pole made of?

K Häring, A Zhiboedov - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.21499, 2024 - arxiv.org
We explore the physical mechanisms responsible for generating the graviton pole in twice-
subtracted dispersion relations, both in flat space and in AdS. To characterize these …

Holography and Regge Phases with Charge

G Fardelli, AL Fitzpatrick, W Li - arXiv preprint arXiv:2403.07079, 2024 - arxiv.org
We use holography to study the large spin $ J $ limit of the spectrum of low energy states
with charge $ Q $ under a $ U (1) $ conserved current in CFTs in $ d> 2$ dimensions, with a …

Toward null-state equations in d> 2

KW Huang - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract In two-dimensional CFTs with a large central charge, the level-two BPZ equation
governs the heavy-light scalar four-point correlator when the light probe scalar has …

Easy bootstrap for the 3D Ising model

W Li - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.07866, 2023 - arxiv.org
As a simple lattice model that exhibits a phase transition, the Ising model plays a
fundamental role in statistical and condensed matter physics. Its continuum limit also …
