Abstract: An intriguing possibility for the particle makeup of the dark sector is that a small fraction of the observed abundance is made up of light, feebly-interacting particle species. Neutrinos, with their yet-unresolved masses, are a concrete example in this category, but more exotic candidates readily arise from new physics scenarios. Due to their weakness of interaction but comparatively large … Read More

Abstract. In finite entropy quantum systems, correlation functions do not decay all the way to zero at late times, but instead hover around a nonzero constant plateau. In the bulk, those same correlation functions evaluated in black hole backgrounds do decay all the way to zero. This apparent tension raises the question of how the bulk gravitational description captures the … Read More
