Bekenstein has proposed the bound S < pi M_P^2 L^2 on the total entropy S in a volume L^3. This non-extensive scaling suggests that quantum field theory breaks down in large volume. To reconcile this breakdown with the success of local quantum field theory in describing observed particle phenomenology, we propose a relationship between UV and IR cutoffs such that an effective field theory should be a good description of Nature. We discuss implications for the cosmological constant problem. We find a limitation on the accuracy which can be achieved by conventional effective field theory: for example, the minimal correction to (g-2) for the electron from the constrained IR and UV cutoffs is larger than the contribution from the top quark.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    Introduces the Born-Reciprocal Tensor Network to realize UV/IR mixing as an entanglement bridge in renormalization geometry, with a large-volume limit restoring standard Wilsonian decoupling.

    The paper proposes that condensate competition in the 2d Gross-Neveu model generates an emergent AdS₃ bulk, a higher-spin tower, D1-branes, and linearized Einstein gravity with G₃ = ℓ_AdS/4πN².

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors construct a model where asymptotically de Sitter universes are finite-entropy subsystems inside black holes in a maximal-entropy p=ρ universe, decaying on timescales far shorter than recurrence times.

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The noise spectrum an interferometer would see from quantum spacetime jitter is computed for vacuum, thermal, squeezed, and scalar-backreaction states; all are Planck-suppressed.

  6. Diamonds in the Bulk and Large-$N$ Scaling in AdS/CFT

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bulk field algebras of causal diamonds in AdS/CFT require a double-scaling limit, so sub-AdS-radius distances are not described by bulk QFT.

  7. Holographic bounce

    Holographic infrared and ultraviolet cutoffs can produce bouncing solutions, including nonsingular ones, and can be designed to reproduce F(R) gravity bounce.

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the author's holographic space-time toy model, black hole evaporation is not slowed by memory burden because decay phase space overcomes the entropy cost of frozen q-bits.

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Classicalizing k-essence scalars need m << Λ* and, when potentials or fermion couplings are present, a chameleon-like screening layer to keep Vainshtein screening and classicalon stability intact.
