Effective Field Theory, Black Holes, and the Cosmological Constant
read the original abstract
Bekenstein has proposed the bound S < pi M_P^2 L^2 on the total entropy S in a volume L^3. This non-extensive scaling suggests that quantum field theory breaks down in large volume. To reconcile this breakdown with the success of local quantum field theory in describing observed particle phenomenology, we propose a relationship between UV and IR cutoffs such that an effective field theory should be a good description of Nature. We discuss implications for the cosmological constant problem. We find a limitation on the accuracy which can be achieved by conventional effective field theory: for example, the minimal correction to (g-2) for the electron from the constrained IR and UV cutoffs is larger than the contribution from the top quark.

Holographic duality from a four-fermion interaction: emergent AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$, D-branes, and Einstein gravity
The bosonic AdS3/CFT2 duality emerges from the Gross-Neveu model via higher-spin composites and fluctuations in competing spin-0 and spin-1 condensates that define the radial bulk coordinate.

Holographic dark energy as a source for slowly rotating wormholes: Implications for null geodesics and shadows
Slowly rotating wormholes in Rényi, mixed, and Moradpour holographic dark energy produce distinct photon orbits and shadow morphologies, with Rényi models yielding smaller asymmetric shadows.

What does it mean to have a quantum gravitational theory of de Sitter Space?
De Sitter space modeled as a finite quantum system yields ambiguous theories, with local experiments accessing only a tiny fraction of its total information content.

The open-Universe signal: A model artifact rather than genuine curvature
The mild open-universe signal in late-Universe data is an artifact of assuming the basic ΛCDM model rather than evidence for genuine spatial curvature.
