On Gravitational Shock Waves in Curved Spacetimes
read the original abstract
Some years ago Dray and 't Hooft found the necessary and sufficient conditions to introduce a gravitational shock wave in a particular class of vacuum solutions to Einstein's equations. We extend this work to cover cases where non-vanishing matter fields and cosmological constant are present. The sources of gravitational waves are massless particles moving along a null surface such as a horizon in the case of black holes. After we discuss the general case we give many explicit examples. Among them are the $d$-dimensional charged black hole (that includes the 4-dimensional Reissner-Nordstr\"om and the $d$-dimensional Schwarzschild solution as subcases), the 4-dimensional De-Sitter and Anti-De-Sitter spaces (and the Schwarzschild-De-Sitter black hole), the 3-dimensional Anti-De-Sitter black hole, as well as backgrounds with a covariantly constant null Killing vector. We also address the analogous problem for string inspired gravitational solutions and give a few examples.

A de Sitter Anti-Scrambling Algebra
In a toy model of de Sitter quantum gravity, shockwave time advances break the KMS condition and prevent the Hartle-Hawking state from being a trace on the observer's crossed-product algebra.

Negative shocks versus static patch holography
Out-of-time-order correlators along a de Sitter observer worldline, computed with the shockwave eikonal formalism including recoil and backreaction, violate the cyclicity and positivity required of a trace, falsifying...

Butterflies in $\textrm{T}\overline{\textrm{T}}$ deformed anomalous CFT$_2$
In TTbar-deformed anomalous CFT2 the chaos bound stays saturated while butterfly velocity depends nontrivially on deformation strength and anomaly, with a Hagedorn regime where the chaotic response turns complex.

Towards a microscopic description of de Sitter dynamics
An SYK-based quantum system reproduces semiclassical correlators of quantum fields in rigid de Sitter space and non-trivial OTOC features including a doubled Lyapunov exponent.

Holographic complexity of de-Sitter black holes
In SdS black hole holography, CV and CV2.0 complexities grow linearly while CA growth vanishes due to finite action, with matching rates between static patch and dS/CFT schemes.

Gravitational Waves in High Energy Fixed-Target Collisions
In linearized gravity, the plane-fronted shockwave from an ultrarelativistic particle hitting a massive particle at rest generates a secondary spherical gravitational shockwave whose amplitude and the collision's grav...
