The -states of a string worldsheet
Suzanne Bintanja, Elliott Gesteau
The worldsheet description of string amplitudes can be reinterpreted as a baby universe field theory. Under this reinterpretation, we determine the -states of a topological str…
A no-go theorem for large closed universes
Elliott Gesteau
Under conservative assumptions, it is established at a mathematical level of rigor that if correlation functions of single trace operators in a sequence of states of energ…
On Infinite Tensor Networks, Complementary Recovery and Type II Factors
Wissam Chemissany, Elliott Gesteau, Alexander Jahn +2
We initiate a study of local operator algebras at the boundary of infinite tensor networks, using the mathematical theory of inductive limits. In particular, we consider tensor net…
Explicit large von Neumann algebras from matrix models
Elliott Gesteau, Leonardo Santilli
We construct a large family of quantum mechanical systems that give rise to an emergent type III von Neumann algebra in the large limit. Their partition functions are matri…
