Solving 3d Gravity with Virasoro TQFT
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Mengyang Zhang
We propose a precise reformulation of 3d quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant in terms of a topological quantum field theory based on the quantization of the Teichmü…
Resurgence, Conformal Blocks, and the Sum over Geometries in Quantum Gravity
Nathan Benjamin, Scott Collier, Alexander Maloney +1
In two dimensional conformal field theories the limit of large central charge plays the role of a semi-classical limit. Certain universal observables, such as conformal blocks invo…
S-duality in -deformed CFT
Nathan Benjamin, Scott Collier, Jorrit Kruthoff +2
deformed conformal field theories can be reformulated as worldsheet theories of non-critical strings. We use this correspondence to compute and study the defo…
Semiclassical 3D gravity as an average of large-c CFTs
Jeevan Chandra, Scott Collier, Thomas Hartman +1
A two-dimensional CFT dual to a semiclassical theory of gravity in three dimensions must have a large central charge and a sparse low energy spectrum. This constrains the OPE c…
Harnessing S-Duality in SYM & Supergravity as -Averaged Strings
Scott Collier, Eric Perlmutter
We develop a new approach to extracting the physical consequences of S-duality of four-dimensional super Yang-Mills (SYM) and its string theory dual, based on $SL(2…
Bootstrapping Boundaries and Branes
Scott Collier, Dalimil Mazac, Yifan Wang
The study of conformal boundary conditions for two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) has a long history, ranging from the description of impurities in one-dimensional qua…
