Fast Scrambling of mutual information in Kerr-AdS$_{\textbf{5}}$

Abstract

We compute the disruption of mutual information in a TFD state dual to a Kerr black hole with equal angular momenta in $AdS_5$ due to an equatorial shockwave. The shockwave respects the axi-symmetry of the Kerr geometry with specific angular momenta $\mathcal{L}_{\phi_1}$ & $\mathcal{L}_{\phi_2}$. The sub-systems considered are hemispheres in the $left$ and the $right$ dual CFTs with the equator of the $S^3$ as their boundary. We compute the change in the mutual information by determining the growth of the HRT surface at late times. We find that at late times leading upto the scrambling time the minimum value of the instantaneous Lyapunov index $\lambda_L^{(min)}$ is bounded by $\kappa=\frac{2\pi T_H}{(1-\mu \,\mathcal{L}_+)}$ and is found to be greater than $2\pi T_H$ in certain regimes with $T_H$ and $\mu$ denoting the black hole's temperature and the horizon angular velocity respectively while $\mathcal{L}_+=\mathcal{L}_{\phi_1}+\mathcal{L}_{\phi_2}$. We also find that for non-extremal geometries the null perturbation obeys $\mathcal{L}_+<\mu^{-1}$ for it to reach the outer horizon from the $AdS$ boundary. The scrambling time at very late times is given by $\kappa\tau_*\approx\log \mathcal{S}$ where $\mathcal{S}$ is the Kerr entropy. We also find that the onset of scrambling is delayed due to a term proportional to $\log(1-\mu\,\mathcal{L}_+)^{-1}$ which is not extensive and does not scale with the entropy of Kerr black hole.

Timelike Entanglement from Spacetime Density Matrices: A Lattice Realization

We investigate timelike entanglement in quantum field theory using spacetime density matrices and provide a microscopic lattice realization. For a two-dimensional free real scalar field, we extend Gaussian diagonalization methods to the generally non-Hermitian reduced spacetime density matrix and determine its complete nonzero spectrum in the generic regular case, together with all integer R\'enyi moments. The real-time replica construction identifies these moments with Lorentzian branch-point twist-operator correlation functions. We test this identification against the full four-point function on a circle, boundary two-point functions with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, and massive form-factor predictions, finding quantitative agreement in both magnitude and phase across distinct causal regimes. The boundary setup exhibits a finite causally connected window in which every integer R\'enyi entropy is real, showing that reality is not equivalent to causal disconnection. These results provide a microscopic lattice foundation for timelike entanglement and for Lorentzian twist-operator methods beyond equal-time regions.

Landau-Ginzburg description of an exceptional ${\mathcal N}=1$ minimal model

The $\mathcal N=1$ superconformal minimal model with $m=12$ and the exceptional modular invariant $(E_6,D_8)$ is the unitary minimal model of the super-$W_3$ algebra. We propose its Landau-Ginzburg description using two real scalar superfields with the cubic superpotential ${\cal W}=g_1 XY^2/2 + g_2X^3/6$. For $g_1=g_2$, this superpotential is known to describe a product of two $m=3$ $\mathcal N=1$ superconformal minimal models, which is the $m=10$ model with the $(D_6,E_6)$ modular invariant. The exceptional $m=12$ superconformal minimal model is realized at a different fixed point of the same theory. Testing this Landau-Ginzburg description requires the fusion ring of the minimal model, which we obtain from the modular data of the extended algebra. The fusion ring has a $\mathbb Z_2$ grading by chiral fermion parity that the ordinary fusion coefficients do not determine. This grading, composed with conjugation, gives the generator of the R-parity $\mathbb Z_2^{R}$ of the Landau-Ginzburg theory. We then treat the theory with superpotential $\cal W$ as a Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model in $d=4-\epsilon$ and find a weakly coupled infrared fixed point with $g_1/g_2=3/2+\mathcal O(\epsilon)$, at which supersymmetry emerges. We also describe the renormalization group flow from this fixed point to the decoupled fixed point with $g_1=g_2$. The operator dimensions at the coupled fixed point, continued to $d=2$, agree approximately with their values in the $m=12$ superconformal minimal model. Finally, we estimate the scaling dimensions in the new interacting $d=3$ $\mathcal N=1$ superconformal field theory.

Detecting one-dimensional bosonic SPT phases via twisted entropic order parameter

Entanglement asymmetry, introduced by F. Ares, S. Murciano and P. Calabrese, provides a density-matrix diagnostic of symmetry breaking and successfully captures the Landau data associated with a broken symmetry pattern. However, it is by now well established that gapped quantum many-body systems can exhibit phases which are not characterized solely by Landau symmetry breaking. A fundamental example is a symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase, and the ordinary definition of entanglement asymmetry is insensitive to this topological information. In this work we introduce a refined quantity, which we call the twisted entropic order parameter, designed to detect SPT phases from reduced density matrices, particularly focusing on one-dimensional bosonic systems. The key ingredient in our construction is an ancilla degrees of freedom that coherently records the untwisted state and the twisted state associated to a one-ended topological defect of unbroken symmetry, so that the enlarged density matrix retains the charge carried by the defect endpoint. We demonstrate our proposal in concrete lattice models and further generalize it beyond ordinary group symmetries, establishing its ability to diagnose SPT phases. This provides a first step toward a unified entanglement-asymmetry framework for diagnosing quantum phases of matter.
