Page Curves for General Interacting Systems
We calculate in detail the Renyi entanglement entropies of cTPQ states as a
function of subsystem volume, filling the details of our prior work [Nature
Communications 9, 1635 (2018)], where the formulas were first presented.
Working in a limit of large total volume, we find universal formulas for the
Renyi entanglement entropies in a region where the subsystem volume is
comparable to that of the total system. The formulas are applicable to the
infinite temperature limit as well as general interacting systems. For example
we find that the second Renyi entropy of cTPQ states in terms of subsystem
volume is written universally up to two constants, , where is
the total volume of the system and and are two undetermined constants.
The uses of the formulas were already presented in our prior work and we mostly
concentrate on the theoretical aspect of the formulas themselves. Aside from
deriving the formulas for the Renyi Page curves, the expression for the von
Neumann Page curve is also derived, which was not presented in our previous
work.Comment: 29 pages, 3 figures; JHEP preparatio
Fourth-order gravity as the inflationary model revisited
We revisit the old (fourth-order or quadratically generated) gravity model of
Starobinsky in four space-time dimensions, and derive the (inflaton) scalar
potential in the equivalent scalar-tensor gravity model via a Legendre-Weyl
transform. The inflaton scalar potential is used to compute the (CMB)
observables of inflation associated with curvature perturbations (namely, the
scalar and tensor spectral indices, and the tensor-to-scalar ratio), including
the new next-to-leading-order terms with respect to the inverse number of
e-foldings. The results are compared to the recent (WMAP5) experimental bounds.
We confirm both mathematical and physical equivalence between f(R) gravity
theories and the corresponding scalar-tensor gravity theories.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure, 1 table, LaTeX; few comments added, style

Adventures in Holographic Dimer Models
We abstract the essential features of holographic dimer models, and develop
several new applications of these models. First, semi-holographically coupling
free band fermions to holographic dimers, we uncover novel phase transitions
between conventional Fermi liquids and non-Fermi liquids, accompanied by a
change in the structure of the Fermi surface. Second, we make dimer vibrations
propagate through the whole crystal by way of double trace deformations,
obtaining nontrivial band structure. In a simple toy model, the topology of the
band structure experiences an interesting reorganization as we vary the
strength of the double trace deformations. Finally, we develop tools that would
allow one to build, in a bottom-up fashion, a holographic avatar of the Hubbard
model.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figures; v2: brief description of case of pure D5 lattice
