    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...
