AbstractQuantum gravity has a natural cutoff given by the Planck scale. However, the EFT of quantumgravity can break down at a lower scale known as the species scale, which is when highercurvature corrections become important. Additionally, there is a third scale which marks the inverselength (or the temperature) of the smallest black hole where the EFT gives a correct description ofits entropy...
AbstractTTbar is a solvable irrelevant deformation that leads to interesting properties such as nonlocality. When applied to a CFT, the effects of TTbar can be studied via cutoff and glue-on holography. In this talk, we will first introduce the glue-on geometry, which reveals many interesting features of TTbar deformed CFTs that were previously inaccessible through cutoff holography. We then in...
