It is well known that a spherically symmetric compact star whose energy density decreases monotonically possesses an upper bound on its mass-to-radius ratio, $2M/R\leq 8/9$. However, field configurations typically will not be compact. Here…
For any unitary conformal field theory in two dimensions with the central charge $c$, we prove that, if there is a nontrivial primary operator whose conformal dimension $\Delta$ vanishes in some limit on the conformal manifold, the…
We show that one may pass from bulk to boundary thermodynamic quantities for rotating AdS black holes in arbitrary dimensions so that if the bulk quantities satisfy the first law of thermodynamics then so do the boundary CFT quantities.…
Inspired by the general relation between the boundary global symmetry and the bulk gauge symmetry in AdS/CFT, we reformulate the $d+1$ dimensional AdS gravity theory as a $SO(2,d)$ gauge theory. In this formalism, the pull back of the bulk…
The AdS/CFT correspondence provides a new perspective on recurrent questions in General Relativity such as the allowed boundary conditions at infinity and the definition of gravitational conserved charges. Here we review the main insights…
We derive a bound on the conformal dimensions of the lightest few states in general unitary 2d conformal field theories with discrete spectra using modular invariance, including CFTs with chiral currents. We derive a bound on the conformal…
The hypothesis that every theory of quantum gravity in AdS_3 is a dimensional reduction of string/M-theory leads to a natural conjecture for the density of states of two dimensional CFTs with a large central charge limit. We prove this…
In the abstract of [1] we read: "We obtain so far unproved properties of a ratio involving a classof Hermite and parabolic cylinder functions." However, we explain how some of the main results in that paper were already proved in [2],…
Lovelock theory is the natural extension of general relativity to higher dimensions. It can be also thought of as a toy model for ghost-free higher curvature corrections in gravitational theories. It admits a family of AdS vacua, which…
The scaling dimension of the first excited state in two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) satisfies a universal upper bound. Using the modular bootstrap, we extend this result to CFTs with $W_3$ algebras which are generically dual…
Geometrical structures of confining surfaces profoundly influence the adsorption of fluids upon approaching a critical point T_c in their bulk phase diagram, i.e., for t=(T-T_c)/T_c -> +/-0. Guided by general scaling considerations, we…
The goal of these notes is to introduce, in a very elementary way, the idea of the anti de-Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence to condensed matter physicists. This theory relates a gravity theory in a (d+1)- dimensional…
We investigate the holographic description of CFTs defined on the cylinder and on AdS, which include an operator saturating the unitarity bound. The standard Klein-Gordon field with the corresponding mass and boundary conditions on global…
We study Kac-Moody asymptotic symmetries and memory effects in $\text{AdS}_4^{\text{Poincare}}$ gauge theory and (when accompanied by 4D gravity) in its holographic CFT$_3$ dual. While such infinite-dimensional symmetries are absent in…
We discuss upper bounds on the mutual information for disjoint spherical regions of the CFT vacuum. To prove our bounds, we utilize the modular nuclearity condition, which is in turn related to finiteness of the thermal partition function…
We consider the BCS energy gap $\Xi(T)$ (essentially given by $\Xi(T) \approx \Delta(T, \sqrt\mu)$, the BCS order parameter) at all temperatures $0 \le T \le T_c$ up to the critical one, $T_c$, and show that, in the limit of weak coupling,…
We probe the AdS/CFT correspondence by comparing the thermodynamics of a rotating black hole in five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space with that of a conformal field theory on $S^3$, whose parameters come from the boundary of spacetime. In…
We attempt to generalize the AdS/CFT correspondence to non-relativistic conformal field theories which are invariant under Galilean transformations. Such systems govern ultracold atoms at unitarity, nucleon scattering in some channels, and…
We investigate the ratios of critical physical quantities related to the $T-S$ criticality of charged AdS black holes. It is shown that the ratio $\frac{T_cS_c}{Q_c}$ is universal while $\frac{T_cr_c}{Q_c}$ is not. This finding is quite…
Let $S$ be a numerical semigroup of embedding dimension $e$ and conductor $c$. The question of Wilf is, if $\#(\mathbb N\setminus S)/c\leq e-1/e$. \noindent In (An asymptotic result concerning a question of Wilf, arXiv:1111.2779v1…
