Rotating End of the World

We study the thermodynamics and interior structures of dynamical end of the world (EoW) branes in the rotating BTZ black hole. By mapping the induced metric of the branes to an effective Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) system, we derive the first law of thermodynamics for the boundary conformal field theory (BCFT), incorporating boundary degrees of freedom. To construct this thermodynamics, we adopt two frameworks of black hole chemistry and the duality between the JT black hole and the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. In addition, we verify that the shadow entropy is equivalent to the boundary entropy via Hubeny-Ryu-Takayanagi (HRT) surfaces. Furthermore, we explore the possible interior configurations of the EoW brane inside the horizon. Two representative configurations, namely single and double-joint EoW branes, are considered. These disparate configurations share the same exterior brane configuration outside the horizon. By comparing their energies, we show that a transition could occur within the horizon.

Holography Transformer

We have constructed a generative artificial intelligence model to predict dual gravity solutions when provided with the input of holographic entanglement entropy. The model utilized in our study is based on the transformer algorithm, widely used for various natural language tasks including text generation, summarization, and translation. This algorithm possesses the ability to understand the meanings of input and output sequences by utilizing multi-head attention layers. In the training procedure, we generated pairs of examples consisting of holographic entanglement entropy data and their corresponding metric solutions. Once the model has completed the training process, it demonstrates the ability to generate predictions regarding a dual geometry that corresponds to the given holographic entanglement entropy. Subsequently, we proceed to validate the dual geometry to confirm its correspondence with the holographic entanglement entropy data.

IR physics from the holographic RG flow

We use the holographic method to investigate an RG flow and IR physics of a two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) deformed by a relevant scalar operator. On the dual gravity side, a renormalization group (RG) flow from a UV to IR CFT can be described by rolling a scalar field from an unstable to a stable equilibrium point. After considering a simple scalar potential allowing several local equilibrium points, we study the change of a coupling constant and ground state from the momentum-space and real-space RG flow viewpoints. For the real-space RG flow, we calculate the entanglement entropy as a function of a coupling constant and then explicitly show that the entanglement entropy diverges logarithmically at fixed points due to the restoration of conformal symmetry. We further study how the change of a ground state affects the two-point function and conformal dimension of a local operator numerically and analytically in the probe limit.

End of the World Perspective to BCFT

In this work, we study the end-of-the-world (EOW) branes anchored to the boundaries of BCFT${}_2$ dual to the BTZ black hole. First, we explore the thermodynamics of the boundary system consisting of the conformal boundary and two EOW branes. This thermodynamics is extended by the tension appearing as the effective cosmological constant of JT black holes on the EOW branes. The tension contribution is identified with the shadow entropy equivalent to the boundary entropy of the BCFT${}_2$. The thermodynamics of the JT black holes and the bulk of BCFT${}_2$ can be combined into a novel grafted thermodynamics based on the first law. Second, we focus on the observer's view of the EOW branes by lowering the temperature. We show that the EOW branes generate a scale called ``reefs" inside the horizon. This scale also appears in the grafted thermodynamics. At high temperatures, observers on the EOW branes see their respective event horizons. The reef starts to grow relatively to the horizon size at the temperature, $T_{grow}$. As the temperature cools down the reef area fills the entire interior of the JT black holes at the temperature $T_{out}$. Then, the observers recognize their horizons disappear and see the large density of the energy flux. At this temperature, the two JT regions become causally connected. This connected spacetime has two asymptotic $AdS_2$ boundaries with a conformal matter. Also, we comment on the grafted thermodynamics to higher dimensions in Appendix B.

Holographic two-point functions in medium

We study two-point correlation function in a medium composed of two kinds of matter, which is the dual of a three-dimensional generalized $p$-brane gas geometry. Following the holographic prescription, we calculate temporal and spatial two-point functions in the medium. In general, the screening effect of the medium makes two-point functions decrease more rapidly than the CFT's two-point function. In the extremal limit, however, we find that a temporal two-point function is still conformal. This indicates that a two-dimensional UV CFT flows into a one-dimensional quantum mechanics in the IR limit. This is consistent with the fact that the near horizon geometry in the extremal limit reduces to AdS$_2$. We also investigate holographic mutual information representing the correlation between two subsystems. We show that a critical distance in the IR region, where the mutual information vanishes, leads to a similar behavior to the correlation length of a two-point function.

Quantum correlation in quark-gluon medium

We study thermodynamics and quantum correlations of the string cloud geometry whose field theory dual is the quark-gluon medium. We found the novel universality of the entanglement entropy first law in the high quark density limit. We also showed that a correlation function generally decreases as the entanglement entropy of the background medium increases due to the screening effect of the background. We study the UV and IR effects of the medium on phase transition behaviour observed in the holographic mutual information using both perturbative and numerical computations. Moreover, by numerical computation, we show that in the IR region the critical length obtained from the mutual information behaves similar to the correlation length of the two-point function.

Finite size effect on quantum correlations

We holographically study the finite-size scaling effects on macroscopic and microscopic quantum correlations deformed by excitation and condensation. The excitation (condensation) increases (decreases) the entanglement entropy of the system. We also investigate the two-point correlation function of local operators by calculating the geodesic length connecting two local operators. As opposed to the entanglement entropy case, the excitation (condensation) decreases (increases) the two-point function. This is because the screening effect becomes strong in the background with the large entanglement entropy. We further show that the holographic renormalization leads to the qualitatively same two-point function as the one obtained from the geodesic length.

Exotic RG Flow of Entanglement Entropy

In this paper, we holographically study the renormalization group (RG) flow in a three-dimensional Einstein-dilaton gravity with a potential permitting several types of the RG flow with nontrivial beta-functions. By using the intrinsic parameter of the potential, we classify possible holographic RG flows and examine their physical features. Using the Ryu-Takayanagi formulation, furthermore, we investigate how the $c$-function of the entanglement entropy behaves along the RG flow numerically. We show that the entanglement $c$-function monotonically decreases even in the cases with a nontrivial beta-function. For checking the consistency, we also compare the result of the entanglement entropy with the $c$-function derived from the holographic renormalization procedure.

Holographic Entanglement Entropy with Momentum Relaxation

We studied the holographic entanglement entropy for a strip and sharp wedge entangling regions in momentum relaxation systems. In the case of strips, we found analytic and numerical results for the entanglement entropy and showed the effect on the minimal surface by the electric field. We also studied the entanglement entropy of wedges and confirmed that there is a linear change in the electric field. This change is proportional to the thermoelectric conductivity, $\barα$, that can be measured.

c-theorem of the entanglement entropy

We holographically investigate the renormalization group flow in a two-dimensional conformal field theory deformed by a relevant operator. If the relevant operator allows another fixed point, the UV conformal field theory smoothly flows to a new IR conformal field theory. From the holographic point of view, such a renormalization group flow can be realized as a dual geometry interpolating two different AdS boundaries. On this interpolating geometry, we investigate how the c-function of the entanglement entropy behaves along the RG flow analyt- ically and numerically, which reproduces the expected central charges of UV and IR. We also show that the c-function monotonically decreases from UV to IR without any phase transition.

Quantum entanglement in inflationary cosmology

We investigate the holographic quantum entanglement of a visible universe in an inflationary cosmology. To do so, we consider an AdS space with a dS boundary which represents an expanding space in time. In an inflationary cosmology, there exists a natural entangling surface called a cosmic event horizon which divides a universe into visible and invisible parts. In this model, cosmic event horizon monotonically decreases and approaches a constant value proportional to the inverse of Hubble constant. We show that the quantum entanglement between the visible and invisible universes divided by cosmic event horizon decreases monotonically in time. After an infinite time evolution, it finally approaches a constant value which is proportional to the inverse square of the Hubble constant for a four-dimensional dS space.

Nucleon Form Factors in Nuclear Medium

By using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we investigate various form factors between nucleons and mesons in a nuclear medium. In order to describe a nuclear medium holographically, we take into account the thermal charged AdS geometry with an appropriate IR cutoff. After introducing an anomalous dimension as a free parameter, we investigate how the nucleon's mass is affected by the change of the anomalous dimension. Moreover, we study how the form factors of nucleons rely on the properties of the nuclear medium. We show that in a nuclear medium with different numbers of proton and neutron, the degenerated nucleon form factor in the vacuum is split to four different values depending on the isospin charges of nucleon and meson.

Time-evolution of holographic entanglement entropy and metric perturbations

We study the holographic entanglement entropy under small deformations of AdS, including time-dependence. It is found through perturbative analysis that the divergent terms are not affected and the change appears only in the finite terms. We also consider the entanglement thermodynamic first law, and calculate the entanglement temperature and confirm that it is inversely proportional to the size of the entangling region.

One-loop corrections to holographic Wilson loop in AdS4xCP3

The evaluation of BPS Wilson loops in N=6, D=3 Chern-Simons matter theory is reduced to ordinary matrix integrals via localization technique. It is easy to check that the vacuum expectation value of 1/2 BPS Wilson loops at leading order in planar limit agrees with the regularized classical string action, via AdS/CFT. Then the subleading terms in principle can be calculated by treating the string theory semi-classically. In this article we calculate the one-loop determinant for fluctuation modes of holographic Wilson loop in the dual geometry AdS4xCP3. The fermionic normal mode frequencies are expressed in terms of the hypergeometric function, and we compute the one-loop effective action numerically. The discrepancy with localization formula is due to the zero mode normalization constant, which is yet to be determined.

M-theory and Seven-Dimensional Inhomogeneous Sasaki-Einstein Manifolds

Seven-dimensional inhomogeneous Sasaki-Einstein manifolds $Y^{p,k}(KE_4)$ present a challenging example of AdS/CFT correspondence. At present, their field theory duals for $KE_4=\mathbb{CP}^2$ base are proposed only within a restricted range $3p/2\le k \le 2p$ as ${\cal N}=2$ quiver Chern-Simons-matter theories with $SU(N)\times SU(N)\times SU(N)$ gauge group, nine bifundamental chiral multiplets interacting through a cubic superpotential. To further elucidate this correspondence, we use particle approximation both at classical and quantum level. We setup a concrete AdS/CFT mapping of conserved quantities using geodesic motions, and turn to solutions of scalar Laplace equation in $Y^{p,k}$. The eigenmodes also provide an interesting subset of Kaluza-Klein spectrum for $D=11$ supergravity in ${\rm AdS}_4\times Y^{p,k}$, and are dual to protected operators written in terms of matter multiplets in the dual conformal field theory.

Probing Non-Toric Geometry with Rotating Membranes

Recently Martelli and Sparks presented the first non-toric AdS_4/CFT_3 duality relation between M-theory on AdS_4 x V_{5,2}/Z_k and a class of three-dimensional N=2 quiver Chern-Simons-matter theories. V_{5,2} is a seven-dimensional homogeneneous Sasaki-Einstein manifold with isometry group SO(5)xU(1)_R, which is in general broken to SU(2)xU(1)xU(1)_R by the orbifold projection if k>1. The dual field theory is described by the A_1 quiver, U(N)_k x U(N)_{-k} gauge group, four bifundamentals, two adjoint chiral multiplets interacting via a cubic superpotential. We explore this proposal by studying various classical membrane solutions moving in V_{5,2}. Rotating membrane solutions of folded, wrapped, spike, and giant magnon types are presented with their dispersion relations. We also discuss their dual operators in the Chern-Simons-matter theory.

Rotating Membranes in AdS_4xM^{1,1,1}

Motivated by the recent progress on gravity duals of supersymmetric Chern-Simons matter theories, we consider classical membrane solutions in AdS_4 x M^{1,1,1}. In particular, we present several types of exact solutions rotating in the Sasaki-Einstein 7-manifold whose isometry is SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1). We analyze the limiting behavior of macroscopic membranes and discuss how one can identify the dual operators and the implications of our result on their conformal dimensions.

Significant Reduction of the Microwave Surface Resistance of MgB2 Films by Surface Ion Milling

The microwave surface resistance Rs of MgB2 films with the zero-resistance temperature of - 39 K was measured at 8.0 - 8.5 GHz. The MgB2 films were prepared by deposition of boron films on c-cut sapphire, followed by annealing in a vaporized magnesium environment. The Rs appeared significantly reduced by ion milling of the as-grown MgB2 film surface, with the observed Rs of ~ 0.8 mohm at 24 K for an ion-milled MgB2 film as small as 1/15 of the value for the corresponding as-grown MgB2 film. The reduced Rs of the ion-milled MgB2 films is attributed to the effects of the Mg-rich metallic layer existing at the surfaces of the as-grown MgB2 films.
