• Abstract: We define a notion of `quantum entanglement index' with the aim to compute it for black hole horizons in string theory at one-loop order using the stringy replica method. We consider the horizon of BTZ black holes to construct the relevant conical orbifolds, labeled by an odd integer $N$, and compute the partition function as a function of $N$, corresponding to the fractional indexed R\'enyi entropy. We show that it is free of tachyons and naturally finite both in the ultraviolet and the infrared, even though it is generically ultraviolet divergent in the field theory limit. Thus, the index provides a useful diagnostic of the entanglement structure of string theory without the need for analytic continuation in $N$.

  Black hole entropy turns negative at exponentially low temperatures. We show that this negativity must happen for any effective theory of quantum gravity with an ensemble description. Our analysis of low-energy random matrix spectra also explains the origin of spectral gaps in supersymmetric theories.

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 $H_d-1$.

• Spectral form factor for free large $N$ gauge theory and strings [2.174097331320428]
  After a rapid decay of the spectral form factor at early time, new contributions come in, preventing the spectral form factor from ever becoming exponentially small. We show that the rise of the spectral form factor comes from other winding modes that also carry momentum along the time direction. In particular, we examine the Kontsevich-Segal criterion on complex black holes that contribute to the spectral form factor.

  We show that a dispersion relation leads to the existence of subradiant states of finite one-dimensional arrays of $N$ atoms with decay rates scaling as $N-(s+1)$. This explains the recently discovered $N-3$ scaling and it leads to the prediction of power law scaling with higher power for special values of the lattice period.
