Title: Unitary paradox of cosmological perturbations
Authors: Ngo Phuc Duc Loc
Abstract summary: If we interpret the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the Hubble horizon as thermodynamic entropy, then the entanglement entropy of the superhorizon modes of curvature perturbation entangled with the subhorizon modes will exceed the Bekenstein-Hawking bound at some point. We call this the unitary paradox of cosmological perturbations by analogy with black hole.

Abstract: If we interpret the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the Hubble horizon as thermodynamic entropy, then the entanglement entropy of the superhorizon modes of curvature perturbation entangled with the subhorizon modes will exceed the Bekenstein-Hawking bound at some point; we call this the unitary paradox of cosmological perturbations by analogy with black hole. In order to avoid a fine-tuned problem, the paradox must occur during the inflationary era at the critical time $t_c=\ln(3\sqrt{\pi}/\sqrt{2}\epsilon_HH_{inf})/2H_{inf}$ (in Planck units), where $\epsilon_H= -\dot{H}/H^2$ is the first Hubble slow-roll parameter and $H_{inf}$ is the Hubble rate during inflation. If we instead accept the fine-tuned problem, then the paradox will occur during the dark energy era at the critical time $t_c'=\ln(3\sqrt{\pi}H_{inf}/\sqrt{2}fe^{2N}H_\Lambda^2)/2H_\Lambda$, where $H_\Lambda$ is the Hubble rate dominated by dark energy, $N$ is the total number of e-folds of inflation, and $f$ is a purification factor that takes the range $0<f<3\sqrt{\pi}H_{inf}/\sqrt{2}e^{2N}H_\Lambda^2$.

We analyze the stability of the energy gap to Euclids for Hamiltonians corresponding to general quantum low-density parity-check codes. We discuss implications for the third law of thermodynamics, as $k$-local Hamiltonians can have extensive zero-temperature entropy.

We will lift the bundles $L_Cpm$ and connection $A_hbar$ on them to the relativistic phase space $T*R3,1$ and couple them to the Dirac spinor bundle describing both particles and antiparticles.

A New Look at the $C^{0}$-formulation of the Strong Cosmic Censorship Conjecture [68.8204255655161]
We argue that for generic black hole parameters as initial conditions for Einstein equations, the metric is $C0$-extendable to a larger Lorentzian manifold. We prove it violates the "complexity=volume" conjecture for a low-temperature hyperbolic AdS$_d+1$ black hole dual to a CFT living on a ($d-1$)-dimensional hyperboloid $H_d-1$.

Does inflation squeeze cosmological perturbations? [0.0]
We argue that for quantum fields propagating on generic time-dependent Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker backgrounds, the notion of squeezed states is subject to ambiguities. We argue that this fact does not make the state of cosmological perturbations any less quantum, at least when deviations from Gaussianity can be neglected.

A map between time-dependent and time-independent quantum many-body Hamiltonians [23.87373187143897]
Given a time-independent Hamiltonian $widetilde H$, one can construct a time-dependent Hamiltonian $H_t$ by means of the gauge transformation $H_t=U_t widetilde H, Udagger_t-i, U_t, partial_t U_tdagger$. Here $U_t$ is the unitary transformation that relates the solutions of the corresponding Schrodinger equations.
