The C-metric is usually understood as describing two black holes which accelerate in opposite directions under the action of some conical singularity. Here, we examine all the solutions of this type which represent accelerating sources and investigate the null limit in which the accelerations become unbounded. We show that the resulting space-times represent spherical impulsive gravitational waves generated by snapping or expanding cosmic strings.

Holographic correlation functions from wedge
hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

Correlation functions of heavy operators can be computed from the on-shell action of a wedge excised from AdS3, verified in Poincaré, global, and BTZ backgrounds.
