Toward a Unified de Sitter Holography: A Composite $T\bar{T}$ and $T\bar{T}+\Lambda_2$ Flow

In de Sitter (dS) holography, both the dS/CFT correspondence and the dS static patch holography have been extensively studied. In these two holographic frameworks, the dual field theories are defined on spacelike and timelike boundaries, respectively, where the inward motion of the holographic boundary into the bulk corresponds to the $T\bar{T}$ and $T\bar{T}+\Lambda_2$ deformations in the respective dual field theories. In this work, we develop a unified framework for these two dS holographic models by introducing a composite flow that incorporates both $T\bar{T}$ and $T\bar{T}+\Lambda_2$ deformations. We propose that this composite flow corresponds to the inward motion of a spacelike boundary from the asymptotic infinity of dS spacetime, traversing the cosmological horizon and approaching the worldline of a static observer. This proposal is supported by the computation of the quasi-local energy and the holographic entanglement entropy within the dS static spacetime and its extended geometry.

Holographic $T\bar{T}$ deformation of the entanglement entropy in (A)dS$_3$/CFT$_2$

In recent years, the holographic duality between $T\bar{T}$-deformed conformal field theory (CFT) and Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime with finite radial cutoff has received significant attention. The study of $T\bar{T}$ deformation within the framework of de Sitter (dS)/CFT duality has also progressed. This paper shows that the trace flow equation in dS spacetime can be analytically extended from its AdS counterpart through double Wick rotations. Meanwhile, we generalize the replica method in both AdS and dS holography to derive a general expression for the entanglement entropy of arbitrary single spatial intervals within the $T\bar{T}$-deformed framework. For both finite size and finite temperature systems, we obtain the analytical expression for the entanglement entropy after $T\bar{T}$ deformation. Finally, in dS/dS holography and half-dS holography, we find that the dual field theory exhibits non-locality by analyzing the strong subadditivity and boosted strong subadditivity of entanglement entropy.

Island formula in Planck brane

Double holography offers a profound understanding of the island formula by describing a gravitational system on AdS$_d$ coupled to a conformal field theory on $\mathbb{R}^{1,d-1}$, dual to an AdS$_{d+1}$ spacetime with an end-of-the-world (EOW) brane. In this work, we extend the proposal in [A. Almheiri et al. JHEP 03 (2020) 149] by considering that the dual bulk spacetime has two EOW branes: one with a gravitational system and the other with a thermal bath. We demonstrate an equivalence between this proposal and the wedge holographic theory. We examine it in both Anti-de Sitter gravity and de Sitter gravity by calculating the entanglement entropy of the Hawking radiation. Finally, we employ the doubly holographic model to verify the formula for the entanglement entropy in a subregion within conformally flat spacetime.

Dual-MTGAN: Stochastic and Deterministic Motion Transfer for Image-to-Video Synthesis

Generating videos with content and motion variations is a challenging task in computer vision. While the recent development of GAN allows video generation from latent representations, it is not easy to produce videos with particular content of motion patterns of interest. In this paper, we propose Dual Motion Transfer GAN (Dual-MTGAN), which takes image and video data as inputs while learning disentangled content and motion representations. Our Dual-MTGAN is able to perform deterministic motion transfer and stochastic motion generation. Based on a given image, the former preserves the input content and transfers motion patterns observed from another video sequence, and the latter directly produces videos with plausible yet diverse motion patterns based on the input image. The proposed model is trained in an end-to-end manner, without the need to utilize pre-defined motion features like pose or facial landmarks. Our quantitative and qualitative results would confirm the effectiveness and robustness of our model in addressing such conditioned image-to-video tasks.
