Modular Berry Connection
read the original abstract
The Berry connection describes transformations induced by adiabatically varying Hamiltonians. We study how zero modes of the modular Hamiltonian are affected by varying the region that supplies the modular Hamiltonian. In the vacuum of a 2d CFT, global conformal symmetry singles out a unique modular Berry connection, which we compute directly and in the dual AdS$_3$ picture. In certain cases, Wilson loops of the modular Berry connection compute lengths of curves in AdS$_3$, reproducing the differential entropy formula. Modular Berry transformations can be measured by bulk observers moving with varying accelerations.

Covariant phase space and the semi-classical Einstein equation
A semi-classical symplectic two-form is defined as the sum of the gravitational symplectic form and the Berry curvature of the quantum matter state; it is shown to be independent of the Cauchy slice and to satisfy a q...
