Elastic stiffness of three-dimensional black holes and wormholes from Liouville line defects

Jeevan Chandra, Boris Post

We study elastic deformations of thin-shell black holes and wormholes in AdS gravity. These geometries are sourced by line defects in the dual conformal field theory, and their…

Surgery and statistics in 3d gravity

Jan de Boer, Joshua Kames-King, Boris Post

We extend the correspondence between universal statistical features of large- 2d CFTs and surgery methods in pure AdS quantum gravity. In particular, we introduce a method t…

A universal sum over topologies in 3d gravity

Alexandre Belin, Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt +2

We explore the sum over topologies in AdS quantum gravity and its relationship with the statistical interpretation of the boundary theory. We formulate a statistical version of…

A non-rational Verlinde formula from Virasoro TQFT

Boris Post, Ioannis Tsiares

We use the Virasoro TQFT to derive an integral identity that we view as a non-rational generalization of the Verlinde formula for the Virasoro algebra with central charge $c\geq 25…

Multiboundary wormholes and OPE statistics

Jan de Boer, Diego Liska, Boris Post

We derive higher moments in the statistical distribution of OPE coefficients in holographic 2D CFTs, and show that such moments correspond to multiboundary Euclidean wormholes in p…

A principle of maximum ignorance for semiclassical gravity

Jan de Boer, Diego Liska, Boris Post +1

The principle of maximum ignorance posits that the coarse-grained description of a system is maximally agnostic about its underlying microscopic structure. We briefly review this p…
