Global symmetry violation from non-isometric codes

We study the no-global-symmetry conjecture in quantum gravity by modeling black holes as non-isometric codes that encode the interior states with global charges into the fundamental states. The fluctuation in the inner products of the charged states can be larger compared to the case without charges. The non-isometric map causes states with different charges to have non-zero overlaps, signaling symmetry violation. The Renyi entropies of the radiation with global charges are found to be consistent with the quantum extremal surface formula. We compute various forms of Renyi relative entropy, as well as the fidelity, to quantify the degree of a global symmetry violation in Hawking radiation, demonstrating that global symmetries are indeed violated. We also comment on the instability of the black hole remnant.

Islands in Proliferating de Sitter Spaces

We study two-dimensional de Sitter universe which evolves and proliferates according to the Ginsparg-Perry-Bousso-Hawking mechanism, using Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity coupled to conformal matter. Black holes are generated by quantum gravity effects from pure de Sitter space and then evaporate to yield multiple disjoint de Sitter spaces. The back-reaction from the matter CFT is taken into account for the dilaton as a function of the temperature of the CFT. We discuss the evaporation of black holes and calculate the finite temperature entropy of an inflating region using the island formula. We find that the island moves towards the apparent horizon of the black hole as the temperature increases. The results are applied to the case of multiple evaporating black holes, for which we suggest multiple islands.

Phase Transition in JT Gravity and $T\bar{T}$ Deformation

In this paper we study a black hole phase transition in a generalized JT gravity noticed in arXiv:2006.03494. We investigate the effect of the phase transition on the Euclidean geodesic and holographic two-point function in models with dilaton potential which interpolates two ordinary JT gravities with different cosmological constants. It is noted that there exists a closed geodesic with a new scale at low temperature phase when the potential has a locally negative region. This scale causes several peaks in the two-point function. We also comment on the phase transition of charged black holes. We then consider coupling generalized JT gravity to a matter and study its relation to a $T\bar{T}$ deformation of CFT at the classical level. We find the deformation parameter as a function of the dilaton and provide examples showing Janus-type couplings.

Chiral rings for surface operators in 4d and 5d SQCD

Chiral rings of two-dimensional (2,2) theories coupled to 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories with matter hypermultiplets are studied. Specifically, the vacua of the twisted superpotential of the 2d theories with vanishing sum of matter charges are computed by considering the resolvent of the bulk theory. The solutions to the chiral ring equations are also obtained from the instanton partition function via Higgsing for simple surface operators and via the orbifold description for full surface operators. These 2d/4d coupled theories are lifted to 3d/5d theories and vacua are found similarly in two different methods: by solving the 3d chiral ring equations taking into account the effect of 5d resolvent and by computing the 5d instanton partition function in the presence of a surface operator. We also check the Seiberg-like duality for both 2d/4d and 3d/5d coupled systems with a specific Chern-Simons coefficient for the latter.

Genus one correction to Seiberg-Witten prepotential from β-deformed matrix model

We study β-deformed matrix models with Penner type potentials, which correspond to N=2 SU(2) supersymmetric gauge theories with N_F=2,3, and 4 flavors. We compute explicitly the genus one corrections to the free energy of the matrix model and show that they match the corresponding results obtained from the Nekrasov partition function.

Eight Fermion Terms in the Effective Action of the ABJM Model

We study eight fermion terms in the effective action of the ABJM model. We show the non-renormalization of $v^2$ terms. After classifying all the possible eight fermion structures, we show that $\mathcal{N}=6$ supersymmetry determines all these terms completely up to an overall constant. This confirms the one loop non-renormalization of $v^4$ terms.

Membrane Dynamics in Three dimensional N=6 Supersymmetric Chern-Simons Theory

We study the membrane scattering in the three-dimensional N=6 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory recently constructed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena and conjectured to be dual to M-theory on $AdS_4 \times S^7/Z_k$. We compute the one-loop effective action up to the $v^4$ terms in the derivative expansion and find exact agreement with the results from the supergravity computations. In particular, our results imply that the $v^2$ term is not renormalized and tree-level exact.
