Finally, I have managed to scrape together some time to type in some problems related to the Strings 2024 conference and turn it into a mini-edition of Bulk Physics, Algebras and All That. I most likely will continue on this in the next edition, but for now, this is a light discussion on some interesting stringy problems. This is also the debut of the $\textsf{string theory}$ category for this blog.
Bulk Physics, Algebras and All That Part Three: Strings Edition -I
Notes on the black hole information problem, which I wrote in a very elementary fashion have been complete. I must say that a part of my inspiration to write this was from Aayush's notes, and I wanted to add on to the discussion in a slightly more elaborate way. Keep in mind that this is not a very AdS/CFT oriented thing, so it may seem to be off-topic for the title. However, in the next set of notes, I talk about the Almheiri, Engelhardt, Marolf and Maxfield + Pennington works exclusively. This series of notes, Bulk Physics, Algebras and All That was originally a three-part series. Now, it is an $N$-part series in the large $N$ limit.
Bulk Physics, Algebras and All That -- Part Two: Black Hole Information Problem
A set of notes, titled Bulk Physics, Algebras and All That, which I have been writing from a couple of weeks has been almost completed. This set of notes is split into three parts -- part one, where bulk reconstruction and aspects of subregion duality are discussed; part two, where most of the focus is on QES and things like their relation to the information problem in AdS/CFT is presented; and part three, where some of the recent things I learnt about JT gravity and SYK model are discussed. Part three still needs some work, but as of now part one has been completed. There are some omissions and refinements to take into account in future revisions, due to which for now, here is part one.
