Proving the OSV conjecture with the gravitational path integral

Nikolay Bobev, Jan Boruch, Luca V. Iliesiu +1

The OSV conjecture relates the helicity supertrace of black holes in supergravity obtained through a Calabi--Yau compactification of Type IIA string theory to…

When the gravity path integral describes a statistical average

Gabriele Di Ubaldo, Luca V. Iliesiu, Henry W. Lin +1

We find the necessary and sufficient conditions for the gravitational path integral (GPI) to admit an interpretation in terms of (i) an inner product in the Hilbert space of open/c…

A note on the quantization of angular momentum for black holes

Jon Goker, Luca V. Iliesiu, Elisa Tabor

We argue that the gravitational path integral for rotating black holes is periodic in the angular velocity, implying the quantization of angular momentum in arbitrary dimensions fo…

Positivity of the gravitational path integral implies the axionic weak gravity conjecture

Gabriele Di Ubaldo, Luca V. Iliesiu, Henry W. Lin +1

The gravitational path integral can compute inner products between different states of open and closed universes. To have a well-defined Hilbert space, these inner products should…

Consistent Evaluation of the No-Boundary Proposal

Ahmed I. Abdalla, Stefano Antonini, Raphael Bousso +3

We revisit the Hartle-Hawking no-boundary proposal. To extract probabilities, one must use the gravitational path integral (GPI) to compute not only the no-boundary amplitude, but…
