Roychowdhury. arXiv:1503.03254 Synopsis One of the recent fundamental developments in theoretical high energy physics is the AdS/CFT correspondence [1,2,3,4] which posits a relationship between Quantum Field Theories (QFT) in a given dimension and String Theory on a higher dimensional anti- de Sitter (AdS) space- time. This has revolutionised our understanding of QFTs (more specifically conformal field theories (CFTs)) and string theory/gravity, and has far reaching consequences for explo- rations into a vast array of physical phenomena. Using the elegant formalism provided by this powerful duality, often called \holography", one can now use fundamental physical ob- servables in QFT to better understand the nature of quantum gravity. The theoretical tools provide a translation of calculable field theoretic observables into the language of gravity thereby leading to the construction of holographic models for several interesting QFTs. Entanglement is a fundamental physical property of all quantum systems. From models of various condensed matter systems to its application as a tool for secure and fast communi- cation in quantum information theory [5], it serves as an intersection point between different subfields of physics [6]. From the AdS/CFT point of view quantum entanglement connects geometry with quantum information, providing a window to understand how the bulk gravity physics emerges from the holographic field theoretic viewpoint. Probing various aspects of this connection in detail will be the broad theme of this thesis. For extended, many-body systems, the most well known measure of quantum entangle- ment is the \Entanglement Entropy" (EE) which is also the best understood measure within the holographic framework. In early 2006, Ryu and Takayanagi (RT) gave a simple and elegant prescription for computing this quantity using AdS/CFT duality within Einstein gravity [7,8]. They proposed that EE for a subsystem within an extended system (QFT), is computed by the (proper) area of a static, codimension- 2, \extremal" surface inside the dual AdS spacetime. The RT proposal has passed several non-trivial consistency checks, for example strong sub-additivity, area law to name a few [9]. A remarkable aspect of the pro- posal is the ease with which EE can now be calculated, while it is well known that obtaining EE from first principles in QFT presents several technical challenges which have so far been surmounted only in some 2d field theories using the \replica method" [10, 11, 12]. The most intriguing aspect of the RT proposal is its striking similarity to Bekenstein- Hawking (BH) entropy which is proportional to the area of a black hole horizon, further confirming an intimate relationship between entropy and geometry [13, 14, 15, 16]. This leads to the natural question: what is the connection between EE and BH entropy? This question has been sharpened recently by Lewkowycz and Maldacena (LM) via the concept of Generalized Gravitational Entropy which extends the QFT replica trick to a replica symmetry vii for the dual space-time [17]. This was used to prove the RT conjecture successfully by deriving the correct extremal surface equation for two derivative gravity theories. In this thesis I have studied the generalization of LM method for higher derivative gravity theories [18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23] describing holographic duals (of QFT's with finite number of colours) and finite 't Hooft coupling which takes the AdS/CFT correspondence beyond the usual supergravity limit. If one wants to use AdS/CFT to study real life systems then it is absolutely necessary to incorporate the finite coupling effect into the theory and hence the study of higher derivative effects becomes very important. In these two papers [21, 22] I have formulated a proof for the existence of the entropy functionals for certain higher derivative theories extending LM method. We have shown that the for a certain special class of higher derivative theories there exist well defined entropy functionals. To extend this proof for more general theories of gravity opens up a possibility of breaking replica symmetry in the bulk space-time [24]. For higher derivative gravity, black hole entropy for a large class of stationary black holes with bifurcate killing horizon is given by the well known Wald prescription [25, 26, 27] which relates the concept of the Noether charge with the black hole entropy. Iyer and Wald proposed a generalization for dynamical horizons. This throws up the question whether there is a relation between these EE functionals and the Noether charge, and whether we can derive them using the approach of Iyer and Wald. For a certain class of theories I have shown that there exists a relation between these two [28] but a more rigorous proof is needed. This somewhat firms up the area-entropy relation for arbitrary surfaces and proves the existence of holographic EE functionals for higher curvature theories thereby extending the applicability of Iyer-Wald formalism beyond the bifurcation surface. Apart from this, it is well known that there exist several measures of quantum entangle- ment, each satisfying a variety of mathematical inequalities and conditions [5]. Translating these into the language of holography constrains the dual gravity theory and will lead to general statements about the consistency of the theory. In this thesis I have discussed one such measure namely Relative entropy [29], the positivity of which has led to constraints on the underlying gravity theory [30]. Also entanglement entropy is a very useful tools for prob- ing renormalization group (RG) flow from the holographic point of view [34, 31, 32, 35, 33]. We end with exploring the concept of renormalized entanglement entropy [36, 37] and its application in probing RG flow in the context of N = 2 gauged supergravity [38]. References [1] J. M.

It is an autonomous institute fully funded by the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. Till October 10, 2000 the Institute was known as Mehta Research Institute of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics (MRI) after which it was renamed as Harish-Chandra Research Institute (HRI) after the internationally acclaimed mathematician, late Prof Harish-Chandra. The Institute started with efforts of Dr. B. N. Prasad, a mathematician at the University of Allahabad with initial support from the B. S. Mehta Trust, Kolkata. Dr. Prasad was succeeded in January 1966 by Dr. S. R. Sinha, also of Allahabad University. He was followed by Prof. P. L. Bhatnagar as the first formal Director. After an interim period in January 1983, Prof. S. S. Shrikhande joined as the next Director of the Institute. During his tenure the dialogue with the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) entered into decisive stage and a review committee was constituted by the DAE to examine the Institutes fu- ture. In 1985 N. D. Tiwari, the then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, agreed to provide sufficient land for the Institute and the DAE promised financial sup- port for meeting both the recurring and non-recurring expenditure.

In this paper, we define a general class of OTOC, which can perfectly capture quantum randomness phe- nomena in a better way. Further, we demonstrate an equivalent formalism of computation using a general time-independent Hamiltonian having well-defined eigenstate representa- tion for integrable supersymmetric quantum systems. We found that one needs to consider two new correlators apart from the usual one to have a complete quantum description.

It alone can unite humility with boldness so as to allow us to penetrate to the heart of things ...” Alexander Grothendieck (From “Reaping and Sowing”) It has been a great privilege for me to helm ICTS these last two plus years, and to build on the strong foundations set by Spenta Wadia, the founding director. In this period, ICTS has grown from the close intimacy of our temporary garden home in IISc to something more akin to the expansive shade of a banyan tree in our new campus at Shivakote. Nevertheless, we continually strive to ‘renovate the quest’, trying to retain the innocence of all new beginnings. In fact, it is hard to believe that we are now in the tenth year of our existence – ready to step into adolescence in the second decade of our explorations.
