    • On the Virasoro six-point identity block and chaos 

      Anous, T; Haehl, FM (2020-08-01)
      We study six-point correlation functions in two dimensional conformal field theory, where the six operators are grouped in pairs with equal conformal dimension. Assuming large central charge c and a sparse spectrum, the ...
    • de Sitter supersymmetry revisited 

      Anous, T; Freedman, DZ; Maloney, A (2014-07-01)
      Abstract: We present the basic N = 1 superconformal field theories in four-dimensional de Sitter space-time, namely the non-abelian super Yang-Mills theory and the chiral multiplet theory with gauge interactions or cubic ...
    • Holographic vitrification 

      Anninos, D; Anous, T; Denef, F; Peeters, L (2015-04-07)
      Abstract: We establish the existence of stable and metastable stationary black hole bound states at finite temperature and chemical potentials in global and planar four-dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter space. We ...
    • Supergoop dynamics 

      Anninos, D; Anous, T; Denef, F; Konstantinidis, G; Shaghoulian, E (2013-01-01)
      We initiate a systematic study of the dynamics of multi-particle systems with supersymmetric Van der Waals and electron-monopole type interactions. The static interaction allows a complex continuum of ground state ...
    • Incompressible uids of the de Sitter horizon and beyond 

      Anninos, D; Anous, T; Bredberg, I; Ng, GS (2012-06-08)
      There are (at least) two surfaces of particular interest in eternal de Sitter space. One is the timelike hypersurface constituting the lab wall of a static patch observer and the other is the future boundary of global de ...
    • Hot halos and galactic glasses (carbonado) 

      Anninos, D; Anous, T; Barandes, J; Denef, F; Gaasbeek, B (2012-02-27)
      We initiate a systematic study of the state space of non-extremal, stationary black hole bound states in four-dimensional N = 2 supergravity. Specifically, we show that an exponential multitude of classically stable \halo" ...
    • A de Sitter hoedown 

      Anninos, D; Anous, T (2010-12-01)
      Rotating black holes in de Sitter space are known to have interesting limits where the temperatures of the black hole and cosmological horizon are equal. We give a complete description of the thermal phase structure of all ...
    • Inside out: meet the operators inside the horizon. On bulk reconstruction behind causal horizons 

      Almheiri, A; Anous, T; Lewkowycz, A (2018-01-01)
      Based on the work of Heemskerk, Marolf, Polchinski and Sully (HMPS), we study the reconstruction of operators behind causal horizons in time dependent geometries obtained by acting with shockwaves on pure states or thermal ...
    • A general definition of $JT_a$ -- deformed QFTs 

      Anous, T; Guica, M (Stichting SciPost, 2021-04-30)
    • Areas and entropies in BFSS/gravity duality 

      Anous, T; Karczmarek, JL; Mintun, E; van Raamsdonk, M; Way, B (2020-04-01)
      The BFSS matrix model provides an example of gauge-theory / gravity duality where the gauge theory is a model of ordinary quantum mechanics with no spatial subsystems. If there exists a general connection between areas and ...
    • Density matrices in quantum gravity 

      Anous, T; Kruthoff, J; Mahajan, R (Stichting SciPost, 2020-10-05)
    • An invitation to the principal series 

      Anous, T; Skulte, J (2020-09-01)
      Scalar unitary representations of the isometry group of d-dimensional de Sitter space SO(1, d) are labeled by their conformal weights ∆. A salient feature of de Sitter space is that scalar fields with sufficiently large ...
    • OPE statistics from higher-point crossing 

      Anous, T; Belin, A; de Boer, J; Liska, D (Springer Nature, 2022-06-17)
    • Sailing past the End of the World and discovering the Island 

      Anous, T; Meineri, M; Pelliconi, P; Sonner, J (Stichting SciPost, 2022-09-30)
    • Disordered quivers and cold horizons 

      Anninos, D; Anous, T; Denef, F (2016-12-01)
      We analyze the low temperature structure of a supersymmetric quiver quantum mechanics with randomized superpotential coefficients, treating them as quenched disorder. These theories describe features of the low energy ...
    • Black hole collapse in the 1/c expansion 

      Anous, T; Hartman, T; Rovai, A; Sonner, J (2016-07-01)
      We present a first-principles CFT calculation corresponding to the spherical collapse of a shell of matter in three dimensional quantum gravity. In field theory terms, we describe the equilibration process, from early times ...
    • Mini-BFSS matrix model in silico 

      Anous, T; Cogburn, C (2019-09-23)
      We study a mass-deformed N=4 version of the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind (BFSS) matrix model with three matrices and gauge group SU(2). This model has zero Witten index. Despite this, we give numerical evidence for the ...
    • From conformal blocks to path integrals in the Vaidya geometry 

      Anous, T; Hartman, T; Rovai, A; Sonner, J (2017-09-01)
      Correlators in conformal field theory are naturally organized as a sum over conformal blocks. In holographic theories, this sum must reorganize into a path integral over bulk fields and geometries. We explore how these two ...
    • Marginal deformations & rotating horizons 

      Anninos, D; Anous, T; D’Agnolo, RT (2017-12-01)
      Motivated by the near-horizon geometry of four-dimensional extremal black holes, we study a disordered quantum mechanical system invariant under a global SU(2) symmetry. As in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, this system ...
    • Parity and the modular bootstrap 

      Anous, T; Mahajan, R; Shaghoulian, E (2018-09-01)
      We consider unitary, modular invariant, two-dimensional CFTs which are invariant under the parity transformation P. Combining P with modular inversion S leads to a continuous family of fixed points of the SP transformation. ...
