Membrane paradigm, gravitational Θ-term and gauge/gravity duality
@article{Fischler2015MembranePG, title={Membrane paradigm, gravitational $\Theta$-term and gauge/gravity duality}, author={Willy Fischler and Sandipan Kundu}, journal={Journal of High Energy Physics}, year={2015}, volume={2016}, pages={1-34} }
A bstractFollowing the membrane paradigm, we explore the effect of the gravitational Θ-term on the behavior of the stretched horizon of a black hole in (3 + 1)-dimensions. We reformulate the membrane paradigm from a quantum path-integral point of view where we interpret the macroscopic properties of the horizon as effects of integrating out the region inside the horizon. The gravitational Θ-term is a total derivative, however, using our framework we show that this term affects the transport…
