On the dynamics of near-extremal black holes

P Nayak, A Shukla, RM Soni, SP Trivedi… - Journal of High Energy …, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We analyse the dynamics of near-extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes in
asymptotically four-dimensional Anti de Sitter space (AdS 4). We work in the spherically …

All point correlation functions in SYK

DJ Gross, V Rosenhaus - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract Large N melonic theories are characterized by two-point function Feynman
diagrams built exclusively out of melons. This leads to conformal invariance at strong …

Dynamical actions and q-representation theory for double-scaled SYK

A Blommaert, TG Mertens, S Yao - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We show that DSSYK amplitudes are reproduced by considering the quantum
mechanics of a constrained particle on the quantum group SU q (1, 1). We construct its left …

The Schwarzian theory—origins

TG Mertens - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
In this paper we further study the 1d Schwarzian theory, the universal low-energy limit of
Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models, using the link with 2d Liouville theory. We provide a path …

Defects in Jackiw-Teitelboim quantum gravity

TG Mertens, GJ Turiaci - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
We classify and study defects in 2d Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. We show these are
holographically described by a deformation of the Schwarzian theory where the …

in JT Gravity and BF Gauge Theory

S Ebert, C Ferko, HY Sun, Z Sun - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
JT gravity has a first-order formulation as a two-dimensional BF theory, which can be viewed
as the dimensional reduction of the Chern-Simons description of $3 d $ gravity. We consider …

Eigenstate thermalization in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model

J Sonner, M Vielma - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) explains how closed unitary
quantum systems can exhibit thermal behavior in pure states. In this work we examine a …

5D rotating black holes and the nAdS2/nCFT1 correspondence

A Castro, F Larsen, I Papadimitriou - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We study rotating black holes in five dimensions using the nAdS 2/nCFT 1
correspondence. A consistent truncation of pure Einstein gravity (with a cosmological …

The Schwarzian theory—a Wilson line perspective

A Blommaert, TG Mertens, H Verschelde - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We provide a holographic perspective on correlation functions in Schwarzian
quantum mechanics, as boundary-anchored Wilson line correlators in Jackiw-Teitelboim …

Extremal and near-extremal black holes and near-CFT1

U Moitra, SP Trivedi, V Vishal - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We study the behaviour of extremal and near-extremal black holes at low energies
and low temperatures and find that it can be understood from the near-horizon AdS 2 region …
