The many facets of a hyperbolic tetrahedron: open and closed triangulations of 3d gravity
Daniel L. Jafferis, Diandian Wang
We study a model of 3d gravity relevant to the open sector of a CFT ensemble. The quantum theory is the open Virasoro TQFT, obtained by restricting the full open-closed Virasoro TQ…
Monitoring a de Sitter universe through an anti-de Sitter window
Sarah Hoback, Daniel L. Jafferis, Zixia Wei
We propose that AdS gravity coupled to dS end-of-the-world branes is dual to a unitary holographic CFT with non-unitary conformal boundary conditions. These boundary co…
On random matrix statistics of 3d gravity
Daniel L. Jafferis, Liza Rozenberg, Debmalya Sarkar +1
We show that 3d gravity on manifolds that are topologically a Riemann surface times an interval with end-of-the-world branes at the ends of the interval is descr…
Open-closed 3d gravity as a random ensemble
Daniel L. Jafferis, Liza Rozenberg, Diandian Wang
We investigate an ensemble of boundary CFTs within the framework of a tensor model recently constructed to model 3d quantum gravity. The incorporation of CFT borders introduces new…
Stretched horizon, replica trick and off-shell winding condensate, and all that
Indranil Halder, Daniel L. Jafferis
corrections to near-horizon dynamics of a Schwarzschild black hole in a large number of spacetime dimensions are governed by the worldsheet theory composed of the cigar C…
3d Gravity as a random ensemble
Daniel L. Jafferis, Liza Rozenberg, Gabriel Wong
We give further evidence that the matrix-tensor model studied in \cite{belin2023} is dual to AdS gravity including the sum over topologies. This provides a 3D version of the…
