A bstract We employ scattering amplitudes in curved space to model the dynamics of a light
probe particle with mass m orbiting in the background spacetime induced by a heavy …

A bstract We study the connection between many-body quantum chaos and energy
dynamics for the holographic theory dual to the Kerr-AdS black hole. In particular, we …

A bstract The two-point function of a free massive scalar field on a fixed background can be
evaluated in the large mass limit by using a semiclassical geodesic approximation. In de …

A bstract We consider small perturbations to a static three-dimensional de Sitter geometry.
For early enough perturbations that satisfy the null energy condition, the result is a …

We show that there is a remarkable phase in quantum gravity where gravitational scattering
amplitudes mediated by virtual gravitons can be calculated explicitly in effective field theory …

A bstract Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) that capture maximally chaotic properties of
a black hole are determined by scattering processes near the horizon. This prompts the …

A bstract We study the inner horizons of rotating and charged black holes in anti-de Sitter
space. These black holes have a classical analytic extension through the inner horizon to …

A bstract We consider the eikonal phase associated with the gravitational scattering of a
highly energetic light particle off a very heavy object in AdS spacetime. A simple expression …

We show that there is a remarkable phase in quantum gravity where gravitational scattering
amplitudes mediated by virtual gravitons can be calculated explicitly in effective field theory …

A bstract In this article, we explore dynamical aspects of Out-of-Time-Order correlators
(OTOCs) for critical quenches, in which an initial non-trivial state evolves with a CFT …
