Wormholes without averaging
Phil Saad, Stephen H. Shenker, Douglas Stanford +1
After averaging over fermion couplings, SYK has a collective field description that sometimes has "wormhole" solutions. We study the fate of these wormholes when the couplings are…
Late Time Correlation Functions, Baby Universes, and ETH in JT Gravity
Phil Saad
Quantum black holes are described by a large number of macroscopically indistinguishable microstates. Correlation functions of fields outside the horizon at long time separation pr…
JT gravity as a matrix integral
Phil Saad, Stephen H. Shenker, Douglas Stanford
We present exact results for partition functions of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity on two-dimensional surfaces of arbitrary genus with an arbitrary number of boundaries. The bounda…
A semiclassical ramp in SYK and in gravity
Phil Saad, Stephen H. Shenker, Douglas Stanford
In finite entropy systems, real-time partition functions do not decay to zero at late time. Instead, assuming random matrix universality, suitable averages exhibit a growing "ramp"…
