We study the conformal bootstrap for 3D CFTs with O(N) global symmetry. We obtain rigorous upper bounds on the scaling dimensions of the first O(N) singlet and symmetric tensor operators appearing in the $\phi_i \times \phi_j$ OPE, where…

The generalization of Birkhoff's theorem to higher dimensions in Lovelock gravity allows for black hole solutions with horizon geometries of non-constant curvature. We investigate thermodynamic aspects of these `exotic' black hole…

The spectral form factor is a powerful probe of quantum chaos that diagnoses the statistics of energy levels, but is blind to other features of a theory such as matrix elements of operators or OPE coefficients in conformal field theories.…

We provide a derivation of the Ryu-Takayanagi (RT) formula in 3D gravity for generic boundary subregion--including RT surface phase transitions--directly from the dual two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT). Our approach relies on the…

We analyze the momentum-space representations of the Lorentzian correlators of scalar primary operators in an arbitrary 2D CFT. These correlators characterize the effective dynamics of open quantum systems. We derive the results from the…

In this paper we study a static cyclic symmetric traversable wormhole in $(2+1)-$dimensional gravity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics in anti-de Sitter spacetime. The solution is characterized by three parameters: mass $M$, cosmological…

We present the foundation for a holographic dictionary with depth perception. The dictionary consists of natural CFT operators whose duals are simple, diffeomorphism-invariant bulk operators. The CFT operators of interest are the "OPE…

We consider rotating wormhole solutions in general relativity supported by a complex non-phantom spinor field (which provides a nontrivial spacetime topology) and electromagnetic fields. The solutions are asymmetric, regular, asymptotically…

In a class of 2D CFTs with higher spin symmetry, we compute thermal two-point functions of certain scalar primary operators in the presence of nonzero chemical potential for higher spin charge. These are shown to agree with the same…

We have previously proposed that asymptotically AdS 3D wormholes and black holes can be analytically continued to the Euclidean signature. The analytic continuation procedure was described for non-rotating spacetimes, for which a plane t=0…

We derive forms of light-state dominance for correlators in CFT$_d$, making precise the sense in which correlators can be approximated by the contribution of light operator exchanges. Our main result is that the four-point function of…

The gravitational path integral produces an asymptotic expansion in $G_N$, a fact which is puzzling in the case of observables that are expected to fluctuate wildly. Wormholes appear to compute ensemble averages of functions of such…

We study out-of-time ordered four-point functions in two dimensional conformal field theories by suitably analytically continuing the Euclidean correlator. For large central charge theories with a sparse spectrum, chaotic dynamics is…

Asymptotically AdS wormhole solutions are considered in the context of holography. Correlation functions of local operators on distinct boundaries are studied. It is found that such correlators are finite at short distances. Correlation…
