We review the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory,
focusing on the relation between compactifications of string/M theory on Anti-de Sitter …

In this report we review the microscopic formulation of the five-dimensional black hole of
type IIB string theory in terms of the D1–D5 brane system. The emphasis here is more on the …

Topological duality defects arise as codimension one generalized symmetry operators in
quantum field theories (QFTs) with a duality symmetry. Recent investigations have shown …

A bstract We propose that a class of new topologies, for which there is no classical solution,
should be included in the path integral of three-dimensional pure gravity, and that their …

A bstract A two-dimensional CFT dual to a semiclassical theory of gravity in three
dimensions must have a large central charge c and a sparse low energy spectrum. This …

General relativity contains solutions in which two distant black holes are connected through
the interior via a wormhole, or Einstein‐Rosen bridge. These solutions can be interpreted as …

A bstract We consider classical Euclidean gravity solutions with a boundary. The boundary
contains a non-contractible circle. These solutions can be interpreted as computing the trace …

A bstract We compute the time-dependent entanglement entropy of a CFT which starts in
relatively simple initial states. The initial states are the thermofield double for thermal states …

A holographic derivation of the entanglement entropy in quantum (conformal) field theories
is proposed from anti–de Sitter/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence. We argue …

A bstract A set of infinitesimal Virasoro L⊗ Virasoro R diffeomorphisms are presented which
act non-trivially on the horizon of a generic Kerr black hole with spin J. The covariant phase …
