• Title: Soft thermodynamics of gravitational shock wave
• Authors: Shuwei Liu and Beni Yoshida
• Abstract summary: We derive a simple thermodynamic relation which relates the gravitational shock wave to a microscopic area deformation. The central idea is to probe the gravitational shock wave, which shifts the horizon in the $u$ direction. As an application, we illustrate its use for the Gauss-Bonnet gravity.

• Abstract: The gravitational shock waves have provided crucial insights into entanglement structures of black holes in the AdS/CFT correspondence. Recent progress on the soft hair physics suggests that these developments from holography may also be applicable to geometries beyond negatively curved spacetime. In this work, we derive a remarkably simple thermodynamic relation which relates the gravitational shock wave to a microscopic area deformation. Our treatment is based on the covariant phase space formalism and is applicable to any Killing horizon in generic static spacetime which is governed by arbitrary covariant theory of gravity. The central idea is to probe the gravitational shock wave, which shifts the horizon in the $u$ direction, by the Noether charge constructed from a vector field which shifts the horizon in the $v$ direction. As an application, we illustrate its use for the Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We also derive a simplified form of the gravitational scattering unitary matrix and show that its leading-order contribution is nothing but the exponential of the horizon area: $\mathcal{U}=\exp(i \text{Area})$.

  We apply a perturbative scheme to derive the non-relativistic Schr"odinger equation in curved spacetime. We calculate the next-to-leading order corrections to the neutron's energy spectrum. While the current precision for observations of ultracold neutrons may not yet enable to probe them, they could still be relevant in the future or in alternative circumstances.

• Decoherence due to Spacetime Curvature [0.0]
  gravitational time dilation is believed to decohere superpositions of center of mass of composite quantum systems. Since true effects of gravity are encoded in the curvature of spacetime, the universality of such decoherence must be characterized. We analyze the effects of self-gravity and show that the coupling of gravitational interaction with external curvature can not be captured.

  We consider the dynamics of excited local states in massive scalar field theory in an arbitrary spacetime dimension. We identify different regimes of their evolution depending on the values of the field mass and the quench regularization parameter. We also investigate the local quenches in massive scalar field theory on a cylinder and show that they cause an erratic and chaotic-like evolution of observables.

  We continue the study of nonrelativistic quantum gravity associated with a family of Ricci flow equations. This topological gravity is of the cohomological type, and it exhibits an $cal N=2$ extended BRST symmetry. We demonstrate a standard one-step BRST gauge-fixing of a theory whose fields are $g_ij$, $ni$ and $n$, and whose gauge symmetries consist of (i) the topological deformations of $g_ij$, and (ii) the ultralocal nonrelativistic limit of space

  We present a family of topological quantum gravity theories associated with the geometric theory of the Ricci flow. First, we use BRST quantization to construct a "primitive" topological Lifshitz-type theory for only the spatial metric. We extend the primitive theory by gauging foliation-preserving spacetime symmetries.
