We perform a canonical quantization of pure gravity on AdS3 using as a technical tool its equivalence at the classical level with a Chern-Simons theory with gauge group SL(2,R)xSL(2,R). We first quantize the theory canonically on an…
We define a new theory of discrete Riemann surfaces and present its basic results. The key idea is to consider not only a cellular decomposition of a surface, but the union with its dual. Discrete holomorphy is defined by a straightforward…
We study collections of exact Lagrangian submanifolds respecting some uniform Riemannian bounds, which we equip with a metric naturally arising in symplectic topology (e.g. the Lagrangian Hofer metric or the spectral metric). We exhibit…
We calculate by a new way the two point function on the boundary of AdS spacetime in 1+2 dimensions for the massless conformal real scalar field. The result agrees with the answer provided by the Boundary-limit Holography and Witten recipe.…
I'll describe a general geometric setup allowing for a generalization of Rehren duality to asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes whose classical matter distribution is sufficiently well-behaved as to prevent the occurence of…
This work is intended to investigate the geometry of anti-de Sitter spacetime (AdS), from the point of view of the Laplacian Comparison Theorem (LCT), and to give another description of the hyperbolical embedding standard formalism of the…
M/string theory on noncompact, negatively curved, cosets which generalize $AdS_{D+1}=SO(D,2)/SO(D,1)$ is considered. Holographic descriptions in terms of a conformal field theory on the boundary of the spacetime are proposed. Examples…
This work builds on the foundation laid by Gordon and Wilson in the study of isometry groups of solvmanifolds, i.e. Riemannian manifolds admitting a transitive solvable group of isometries. We restrict ourselves to a natural class of…
We investigate holography on an (n-1)-dimensional brane embedded in a background of AdS black holes, in n-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We demonstrate that for a critical brane near the AdS boundary, the Friedmann equation corresponds…
We develop a general framework for computing the holographic 2-point functions and the corresponding conductivities in asymptotically locally AdS backgrounds with an electric charge density, a constant magentic field, and possibly…
Finding appropriate notions of discrete holomorphic maps and, more generally, conformal immersions of discrete Riemann surfaces into 3-space is an important problem of discrete differential geometry and computer visualization. We propose an…
A holographic correspondence between data on horizon and space-time physics is investigated. We find similarities with the AdS/CFT correspondence, based on the observation that the optical metric near the horizon describes a Euclidean…
In this paper we construct asymptotically locally AdS and flat black holes in the presence of a scalar field whose kinetic term is constructed out from a linear combination of the metric and the Einstein tensor. The field equations as well…
We describe what can be called the "universal" phase space of AdS3 gravity, in which the moduli spaces of globally hyperbolic AdS spacetimes with compact spatial sections, as well as the moduli spaces of multi-black-hole spacetimes are…
Known holographic dictionaries, especially AdS/CFT, rely on symmetry matching between the bulk and the boundary. We take a step toward a holographic dictionary with no symmetry requirement and without assuming the geometry being…
According to the holographic picture of 't Hooft and Susskind, the black hole entropy, $S_{\rm BH}$, is carried by the chaotic microscopic degrees of freedom, that live in the near horizon geometry and have a Hilbert space of states of…
We recall the theory of linear discrete Riemann surfaces and show how to use it in order to interpret a surface embedded in R^3 as a discrete Riemann surface and compute its basis of holomorphic forms on it. We present numerical examples,…
We describe new boundary conditions for AdS$_2$ in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. The asymptotic symmetry group is enhanced to $\r{Diff}(S^1)\ltimes C^\infty(S^1)$ whose breaking to $\r{SL}(2,\R)\times \r{U}(1)$ controls the near-AdS$_2$…
We investigate the cocompact action of Higman's group on a CAT(0) square complex associated to its standard presentation. We show that this action is in a sense intrinsic, which allows for the use of geometric techniques to study the…
We study proper, isometric actions of nonsolvable discrete groups Gamma on the 3-dimensional Minkowski space R^{2,1} as limits of actions on the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space AdS^3. To each such action is associated a deformation of a…
