abstract

We introduce a family of partially entangled thermal states in the SYK model that interpolates between the thermo-field double state and a pure (product) state. The states are prepared by a euclidean path integral describing the evolution over two euclidean time segments separated by a local scaling operator $\mathcal{O}$. We argue that the holographic dual of this class of states consists of two black holes with their interior regions connected via a domain wall, described by the worldline of a massive particle. We compute the size of the interior region and the entanglement entropy as a function of the scale dimension of $\mathcal{O}$ and the temperature of each black hole. We argue that the one-sided bulk reconstruction can access the interior region of the black hole.

The mini-Page Curve in Cosmology

hep-th · 2026-07-09 · conditional · novelty 6.5

In 2D centaur geometries the entropy difference of a modular-conjugate Hawking-pair probe traces an inverse mini-Page curve that bottoms at τ≈β/8, marking when information begins to leave the cosmological horizon.

Ryu-Takayanagi area from Virasoro modular data

hep-th · 2026-06-29 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Entanglement entropies in 2d holographic CFTs are rewritten via crossing symmetry as algebraic Virasoro entropies whose O(c) piece is identified with the RT area through saddle-dominated Cardy density after coarse-graining heavy primaries into Liouville-momentum bins.

Emergent Closed Universes in Symmetric Orbifold CFTs

hep-th · 2026-06-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Large N symmetric orbifold CFTs decompose into superselection sectors that behave as closed universes, with each physical sector becoming one-dimensional after gauging, matching gravitational expectations.

Menagerie of Euclidean constructions for 3D holographic cosmologies

hep-th · 2026-01-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Generalized Euclidean wormhole constructions in 3D gravity produce holographic duals to approximately homogeneous closed baby-universe cosmologies and identify a necessary condition for the cosmological saddle to dominate the path integral.

State counting in gravity and maximal entropy principle

hep-th · 2026-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

State counting for Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the Page curve are equivalent in the gravity path integral, so any entropy-compatible microstate basis automatically restores unitarity.
