The Baby Universe is Fine and the CFT Knows It: On Holography for Closed Universes
Stefano Antonini, Pratik Rath, Martin Sasieta +2
Big bang/big crunch closed universes can be realized in AdS/CFT, even though they lack asymptotically AdS boundaries. With enough bulk entanglement, the bulk Hilbert space of a clo…
A Black Hole Airy Tail
Stefano Antonini, Luca V. Iliesiu, Pratik Rath +1
In Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity, which is dual to a random matrix ensemble, the annealed entropy differs from the quenched entropy at low temperatures and goes negative. However,…
An apologia for islands
Stefano Antonini, Chang-Han Chen, Henry Maxfield +1
Entanglement islands have played a key role in the recent derivation of the Page curve and other progress on the black hole information problem. Arising from the inclusion of conne…
The gravitational path integral from an observer's point of view
Ahmed I. Abdalla, Stefano Antonini, Luca V. Iliesiu +1
One of the fundamental problems in quantum gravity is to describe the experience of a gravitating observer in generic spacetimes. In this paper, we develop a framework for describi…
