Moving the CFT into the bulk with TT¯$$ T\overline{T} $$
- Lauren McGough, M'ark Mezei, H. Verlinde
- Physics
- 3 April 2018
A bstractRecent work by Zamolodchikov and others has uncovered a solvable irrelevant deformation of general 2D CFTs, defined by turning on the dimension 4 operator TT¯$$ T\overline{T} $$,the product… Expand
A refinement of entanglement entropy and the number of degrees of freedom
- H. Liu, M'ark Mezei
- Physics
- 9 February 2012
A bstractWe introduce a “renormalized entanglement entropy” which is intrinsically UV finite and is most sensitive to the degrees of freedom at the scale of the size R of the entangled region. We… Expand
Semi-local quantum liquids
- N. Iqbal, H. Liu, M'ark Mezei
- Physics
- 23 May 2011
A bstractGauge/gravity duality applied to strongly interacting systems at finite density predicts a universal intermediate energy phase to which we refer as a semi-local quantum liquid. Such a phase… Expand
Quantum phase transitions in semilocal quantum liquids
- N. Iqbal, H. Liu, M'ark Mezei
- Physics
- 27 January 2015
We consider several types of quantum critical phenomena from finite-density gauge-gravity duality which to different degrees lie outside the Landau-Ginsburg-Wilson paradigm. These include: (i) a… Expand
Monopole operators in U(1) Chern-Simons-matter theories
- Shai M. Chester, Luca V. Iliesiu, M'ark Mezei, S. Pufu
- Physics
- 2 October 2017
A bstractWe study monopole operators at the infrared fixed points of U(1) Chern-Simons-matter theories (QED3, scalar QED3, N=1$$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ SQED3, and N=2$$ \mathcal{N}=2 $$ SQED3) with N… Expand
Entanglement growth after a global quench in free scalar field theory
- Jordan S. Cotler, Mark P. Hertzberg, M'ark Mezei, M. Mueller
- Physics
- 3 September 2016
A bstractWe compute the entanglement and Rényi entropy growth after a global quench in various dimensions in free scalar field theory. We study two types of quenches: a boundary state quench and a… Expand
Bit Threads and the Membrane Theory of Entanglement Dynamics
- C. Ag'on, M'ark Mezei
- Physics
- 28 October 2019
Recently, an effective {\it membrane theory} was proposed that describes the ``hydrodynamic'' regime of the entanglement dynamics for general chaotic systems. Motivated by the new {\it bit threads}… Expand
Pole skipping away from maximal chaos
- Changha Choi, M'ark Mezei, G'abor S'arosi
- Physics
- 16 October 2020
Pole skipping is a recently discovered subtle effect in the thermal energy density retarded two point function at a special point in the complex ( ω, p ) planes. We propose that pole skipping is… Expand
Monopole operators from the 4 − ϵ expansion
- Shai M. Chester, M'ark Mezei, S. Pufu, Itamar Yaakov
- Physics, Mathematics
- 22 November 2015
A bstractThree-dimensional quantum electrodynamics with N charged fermions contains monopole operators that have been studied perturbatively at large N . Here, we initiate the study of these monopole… Expand
Scaling dimensions of monopole operators in the ℂℙNb−1$$ \mathbb{C}{\mathrm{\mathbb{P}}}^{N_b-1} $$ theory in 2 + 1 dimensions
- Ethan Dyer, M'ark Mezei, S. Pufu, S. Sachdev
- Physics
- 1 April 2015
A bstractWe study monopole operators at the conformal critical point of the ℂℙNb−1$$ \mathbb{C}{\mathrm{\mathbb{P}}}^{N_b-1} $$ theory in 2+1 spacetime dimensions. Using the state-operator… Expand
