Bouncing cosmologies: progress and problems

R Brandenberger, P Peter - Foundations of Physics, 2017 - Springer
We review the status of bouncing cosmologies as alternatives to cosmological inflation for
providing a description of the very early universe, and a source for the cosmological …

Bath deformations, islands, and holographic complexity

A Bhattacharya, A Bhattacharyya, P Nandy, AK Patra - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Considering a doubly holographic model, we study the evolution of holographic subregion
complexity corresponding to deformations of the bath state by a relevant scalar operator …

Holographic thermal field theory on curved spacetimes

D Marolf, M Rangamani… - Classical and Quantum …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
The AdS/CFT correspondence relates certain strongly-coupled CFTs with large effective
central charge c eff to semi-classical gravitational theories with AdS asymptotics. We …

Complexity= anything: singularity probes

E Jørstad, RC Myers, SM Ruan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We investigate how the complexity= anything observables proposed by [1, 2] can
be used to investigate the interior geometry of AdS black holes. In particular, we illustrate …

Weak field black hole formation in asymptotically AdS spacetimes

S Bhattacharyya, S Minwalla - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to study the thermalization of a strongly coupled
conformal field theory that is forced out of its vacuum by a source that couples to a marginal …

Page curves and bath deformations

E Caceres, A Kundu, A Patra, S Shashi - SciPost Physics Core, 2022 - scipost.org
We study the black hole information problem within a semiclassically gravitating AdS $ _d $
black hole coupled to and in equilibrium with a $ d $-dimensional thermal conformal bath …

Holographic flows from CFT to the Kasner universe

A Frenkel, SA Hartnoll, J Kruthoff, ZD Shi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract The Schwarzschild singularity is known to be classically unstable. We demonstrate
a simple holographic consequence of this fact, focusing on a perturbation that is uniform in …

Forced fluid dynamics from gravity

S Bhattacharyya, R Loganayagam… - Journal of High …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We generalize the computations of [1] to generate long wavelength, asymptotically locally
AdS 5 solutions to the Einstein-dilaton system with a slowly varying boundary dilaton field …

Trans-IR flows to black hole singularities

E Caceres, A Kundu, AK Patra, S Shashi - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We study analytic continuations of holographic renormalization group (RG) flows beyond
their infrared (IR) fixed points. Such “trans-IR” flows are a natural framework for describing …

Lifshitz spacetimes from AdS null and cosmological solutions

K Balasubramanian, K Narayan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2010 - Springer
We describe solutions of 10-dimensional supergravity comprising null deformations of AdS
5× S 5 with a scalar field, which have z= 2 Lifshitz symmetries. The bulk Lifshitz geometry in …
