Heavy-ion collisions at BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and CERN's Large Hadron
Collider provide strong evidence for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma, with …

Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative systems. Perturbations of classical
gravitational backgrounds involving black holes or branes naturally lead to quasinormal …

A comprehensive overview of holographic methods in quantum matter, written by pioneers
in the field. This book, written by pioneers in the field, offers a comprehensive overview of …

A bstract We provide a gravitational argument in favour of the covariant holographic
entanglement entropy proposal. In general time-dependent states, the proposal asserts that …

Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent
universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal …

These notes are loosely based on lectures given at the CERN Winter School on
Supergravity, Strings and Gauge theories, February 2009, and at the IPM String School in …

A bstract In three-dimensional de Sitter space classical black holes do not exist, and the
Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution instead describes a conical defect with a single …

The discussions in § 2 and § 3 make it rather clear that while we have to evaluate a
sequence of functional integrals to compute the Rényi entropies, these are rather complex …

These are notes based on a series of lectures given at the KITP workshop Quantum
Criticality and the AdS/CFT Correspondence in July, 2009. The goal of the lectures was to …

Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we probe the scale dependence of thermalization in
strongly coupled field theories following a sudden injection of energy via calculations of two …
