Higher spin wormholes from modular bootstrap

Abstract

We investigate the connection between spacetime wormholes and ensemble averaging in the context of higher spin AdS${}_3$/CFT${}_2$. Using techniques from modular bootstrap combined with some holographic inputs, we evaluate the partition function of a Euclidean wormhole in AdS${}_3$ higher spin gravity. The fixed spin sectors of the dual CFT${}_2$ exhibit features that starkly go beyond conventional random matrix ensembles: power-law ramps in the spectral form factor and potentials with a double-well/crest underlying the level statistics.
