• Fermi-gas correlators of ADHM theory and triality symmetry

  Yasuyuki Hatsuda, Tadashi Okazaki

  SciPost Phys. 12, 005 (2022) · published 5 January 2022 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  We analytically study the Fermi-gas formulation of sphere correlation functions of the Coulomb branch operators for 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ ADHM theory with a gauge group $U(N)$, an adjoint hypermultiplet and $l$ hypermultiplets which can describe a stack of $N$ M2-branes at $A_{l-1}$ singularities. We find that the leading coefficients of the perturbative grand canonical correlation functions are invariant under a hidden triality symmetry conjectured from the twisted M-theory. The triality symmetry also helps us to fix the next-to-leading corrections analytically.

• Page curve for entanglement negativity through geometric evaporation

  Jaydeep Kumar Basak, Debarshi Basu, Vinay Malvimat, Himanshu Parihar, Gautam Sengupta

  SciPost Phys. 12, 004 (2022) · published 5 January 2022 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  We compute the entanglement negativity for various pure and mixed state configurations in a bath coupled to an evaporating two dimensional non-extremal Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) black hole obtained through the partial dimensional reduction of a three dimensional BTZ black hole. Our results exactly reproduce the analogues of the Page curve for the entanglement negativity which were recently determined through diagrammatic technique developed in the context of random matrix theory.

• Islands for entanglement negativity

  Jaydeep Kumar Basak, Debarshi Basu, Vinay Malvimat, Himanshu Parihar, Gautam Sengupta

  We advance two alternative proposals for the island contributions to the entanglement negativity of various pure and mixed state configurations in quantum field theories coupled to semiclassical gravity. The first construction involves the extremization of an algebraic sum of the generalized Renyi entropies of order half. The second proposal involves the extremization of the sum of the effective entanglement negativity of quantum matter fields and the backreacted area of a cosmic brane spanning the entanglement wedge cross section which also extremizes the generalized Renyi reflected entropy of order half. These proposals are utilized to obtain the island contributions to the entanglement negativity of various pure and mixed state configurations involving the bath systems coupled to extremal and non-extremal black holes in JT gravity demonstrating an exact match with each other. Furthermore, the results from both the proposals match precisely with the island contribution to half the Renyi reflected entropy of order half providing a strong consistency check. We then allude to a possible doubly holographic picture of our island proposals and provide a derivation of the first proposal by determining the corresponding replica wormhole contributions.

• Quantum fidelity susceptibility in excited state quantum phase transitions: application to the bending spectra of nonrigid molecules

  Jamil Khalouf-Rivera, Miguel Carvajal, Francisco Pérez-Bernal

  SciPost Phys. 12, 002 (2022) · published 4 January 2022 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  We characterize excited state quantum phase transitions in the two dimensional limit of the vibron model with the quantum fidelity susceptibility, comparing the obtained results with the information provided by the participation ratio. As an application, we locate the eigenstate closest to the barrier to linearity and determine the linear or bent character of the different overtones for particular bending modes of six molecular species. We perform a fit and use the optimized eigenvalues and eigenstates in three cases and make use of recently published results for the other three cases.

• Reconstructing the graviton

  Alfio Bonanno, Tobias Denz, Jan M. Pawlowski, Manuel Reichert

  SciPost Phys. 12, 001 (2022) · published 4 January 2022 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  We reconstruct the Lorentzian graviton propagator in asymptotically safe quantum gravity from Euclidean data. The reconstruction is applied to both the dynamical fluctuation graviton and the background graviton propagator. We prove that the spectral function of the latter necessarily has negative parts similar to, and for the same reasons, as the gluon spectral function. In turn, the spectral function of the dynamical graviton is positive. We argue that the latter enters cross sections and other observables in asymptotically safe quantum gravity. Hence, its positivity may hint at the unitarity of asymptotically safe quantum gravity.
