We study geometric modular flows in two-dimensional conformal field theories. We explore which states exhibit a geometric modular flow with respect to a causally complete subregion and, conversely, how to construct a state from a given geometric modular flow. Given suitable boundary conditions, we find that generic geometric modular flows in the Rindler wedge are conformally equivalent. Based on this insight, we show how conformal unitaries can be used to explicitly construct a state for each flow. We analyze these states, deriving general formulas for the energy density and entanglement entropy. We also consider geometric flows beyond the Rindler wedge setting, and in higher dimensions.

  1. Quantization of Gravity on Null Hypersurfaces

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    An operator-algebraic quantization of the characteristic initial-value problem yields a candidate on-shell algebra for a gravitational subregion bounded by two null hypersurfaces.

  2. Relative entropy for $\lambda \phi^4$ in the Rindler wedge

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5

    Relative entropy of vacuum vs coherent state for λφ⁴ in the Rindler wedge equals the classical interacting boost charge to O(λ) and obeys the Bekenstein bound.

  3. Excitability in quantum field theory

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    For zero-mean Gaussian states in generalized free field theories, one-way local excitability always implies two-way excitability, generalizing the quasiequivalence theorems of Powers, Stormer, van Daele, Araki, and Yamagami.

  4. Four inequivalent paths to Thermality in Minkowski spacetime

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Null-shifted Rindler wedges yield selective non-Gibbsian thermality in one chiral sector via Bogoliubov transformations, with the global Minkowski state remaining pure.

    The soft sector phase space of asymptotically flat gravity equals the phase space of radial size fluctuations of a finite causal diamond in flat spacetime.

    A semiclassical construction of fiducial observers in JT gravity, fixed by conformal isometry flow, is extended to the quantum regime to compute wormhole contributions yielding finite thermal entropy and a quantum des...
