Black hole excited states from broken translations in Euclidean time

Abstract We prepare an excited finite temperature state in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM by means of a Euclidean path integral with a relevant deformation. The deformation explicitly breaks imaginary-time translations along the thermal circle whilst preserving its periodicity. We then study how the st...
