We review the relation between AdS spacetime in 1+2 dimensions and the BTZ black hole. Later we show that a ground state in AdS spacetime becomes a thermal state in the BTZ black hole. We show that this is true in the bulk and in the…
In this paper, we present two novel analytic AdS black hole solutions in a two-dimensional dilaton gravity theory with two scalar fields non-minimally coupled to gravity. Our solutions contain two arbitrary integration constants in the…
We examine a stationary but non-static asymptotically AdS_3 spacetime with two causally connected conformal boundaries, each of which is a ``null cylinder'', namely a cylinder with a null direction identified. This spacetime arises from…
We present a spherically symmetric aAdS gravity solution with Schwinger-Keldysh boundary condition dual to a CFT at finite temperature defined on a complex time contour. The geometry is built by gluing the exterior of a two-sided AdS Black…
We propose a 1+1 dimensional CFT dual structure for quantum gravity and matter on the extended 2+1 dimensional BTZ black hole, realized as a quotient of the Poincare patch of AdS$_3$. The quotient spacetime includes regions beyond the…
We provide examples of gravitational collapse and black hole formation in AdS, either from collapsing matter shells or in analogy to the Oppenheimer-Sneider solution. We then investigate boundary properties of the corresponding states. In…
We study real-time holographic four point Wightman functions involving scalars, photons, gluons and gravitons in the Poincare patch of AdS$_4$. We show that when the momenta of the middle two operators are spacelike, four-point exchange…
We investigate AdS/CFT correspondence for two families of Einstein black holes in d > 3 dimensions, modelling the boundary CFT by a free conformal scalar field and evaluating the boundary two-point function in the bulk geodesic…
We investigate the structure of two point functions for the QFT dual to an asymptotically Lorentzian AdS-wormhole. The bulk geometry is a solution of 5-dimensional second order Einstein Gauss Bonnet gravity and causally connects two…
We construct a manifestly covariant and coordinate-free plane-wave representation of scalar two-point functions in $d$-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime. The construction is based on a new class of holomorphic plane waves defined…
Two sets of modes of a massive free scalar field are quantized in a pair of Poincar\'e patches of Lorentzian anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, AdS$_{d+1}$ ($d \geq 2$). It is shown that in Poincar\'e coordinates $(r,t,\vec{x})$, the two…
We investigate black hole formation by a spherically collapsing thin shell of matter in AdS space. This process has been suggested to have a holographic interpretation as thermalization of the CFT on the boundary of the AdS space. The…
We study the semi-classical dynamics of a scalar field in the background of a black hole in an asymptotically AdS (AAdS) spacetime, in the framework of the Hamiltonian formulation of General Relativity. The small diffeomorphism (gauge)…
To gain insight into how bulk locality emerges from the holographic conformal field theory, we reformulate the bulk to boundary map in as local a way as possible. In previous work, we carried out this program for Lorentzian AdS, and showed…
We solve Einstein's equations with negative cosmological constant in $2+1$ dimensions in the Hamiltonian formulation. The spacetime has the topology of $\Sigma \times \mathbf{R}$ where $\mathbf{R}$ corresponds to the time direction and…
The (holomorphic) partition function of the Euclidean BTZ black hole with boundary modulus $\tau$, is the $S$-image of the Virasoro vacuum character, $\chi_{\rm vac}(-1/\tau)$. This object decomposes into primaries via the modular…
We study the quantum dynamics of a probe scalar field in the background of a black hole in AAdS spacetime in the Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity in the maximal slicing gauge. The black hole solution in this gauge is expressed…
We approach the problem of constructing an explicit holographic dictionary for the AdS$_2$/CFT$_1$ correspondence in the context of higher derivative gravitational actions in AdS$_2$ space-times. These actions are obtained by an $S^2$…
Most of the literature in the \emph{bulk reconstruction program} in holography focuses on recovering local bulk operators propagating on a quasilocal bulk geometry and the knowledge of the bulk geometry is always assumed or guessed. The…
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 wedge spacetime is dual to a $d-1$ dimensional CFT on the corner…
