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…

On the temperature dependence of quasinormal modes in SYK and holography

Matthew Dodelson, Om Gupta, Márk Mezei +1

It was recently found that the quasinormal modes (or Ruelle--Pollicott resonances) of the SYK model at infinite temperature form a Christmas tree shape, reminiscent of AdS black ho…

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…

Crossing symmetry of OPE statistics

Diandian Wang

We study the crossing symmetry of the ensemble of large- 2D CFTs defined through 3D gravity. A central observation is that statistical moments of OPE coefficients are not indepe…

Wormholes with Ends of the World

Diandian Wang, Zhencheng Wang, Zixia Wei

We study classical wormhole solutions in 3D gravity with end-of-the-world (EOW) branes, conical defects, kinks, and punctures. These solutions compute statistical averages of an en…

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…
