Checking the Schwinger-Dyson equation in the purely open matrix-tensor model
Daniel L. Jafferis, Liza Rozenberg, Diandian Wang +1
We test the proposed matrix-tensor description of three-dimensional gravity using a Schwinger-Dyson relation in its purely open sector. We enumerate and classify the topological co…
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…
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…
Cusps in 3d gravity
Douglas Stanford, Cynthia Yan
Three dimensional hyperbolic manifolds have accumulation points in the spectrum of their volumes, leading to a divergence in the sum over topologies. The limit points are cusped hy…
Puzzles in 3D Off-Shell Geometries via VTQFT
Cynthia Yan
We point out a difficulty with a naive application of Virasoro TQFT methods to compute path integrals for two types of off-shell 3-dimensional geometries. Maxfield-Turiaci proposed…
How the Hilbert space of two-sided black holes factorises
Jan Boruch, Luca V. Iliesiu, Guanda Lin +1
In AdS/CFT, two-sided black holes are described by states in the tensor product of two Hilbert spaces associated with the two asymptotic boundaries of the spacetime. Understanding…
Exploring supersymmetric wormholes in SYK with chords
Jan Boruch, Henry W. Lin, Cynthia Yan
A feature the supersymmetric Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model shares with extremal black holes is an exponentially large number of ground states that preserve supersym…
Constructing all BPS black hole microstates from the gravitational path integral
Jan Boruch, Luca V. Iliesiu, Cynthia Yan
Understanding how to prepare and count black hole micro-states by using the gravitational path integral is one of the most important problems in quantum gravity. Nevertheless, a st…
More on Torus Wormholes in 3d Gravity
Cynthia Yan
We study further the duality between semiclassical AdS3 and formal CFT2 ensembles. First, we study torus wormholes (Maldacena-Maoz wormholes with two torus boundaries) with one ins…
Crosscap Contribution to Late-Time Two-Point Correlators
Cynthia Yan
We show that in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity, late-time two-point functions can get a leading non-decaying contribution from a spacetime with the topology of a Mobius strip (a di…
Sphere and disk partition functions in Liouville and in matrix integrals
Raghu Mahajan, Douglas Stanford, Cynthia Yan
We compute the sphere and disk partition functions in semiclassical Liouville and analogous quantities in double-scaled matrix integrals. The quantity sphere/disk^2 is unambiguous…
Revised QCD effects on the forward-backward asymmetry in collisions
David d'Enterria, Cynthia Yan
The forward-backward (FB) asymmetry of quarks in collisions at the Z pole measured at LEP, , remains today one of the electroweak…
Forward-backward -quark asymmetry at the Z pole: QCD uncertainties redux
David d'Enterria, Cynthia Yan
The forward-backward asymmetry of -quarks measured at LEP in collisions at the Z pole, , remains today the electroweak precis…
Emergent spacetime & Quantum Entanglement in Matrix theory
Vatche Sahakian, Yossathorn Tawabutr, Cynthia Yan
In the context of the Bank-Fishler-Shenker-Susskind Matrix theory, we analyze a spherical membrane in light-cone M theory along with two asymptotically distant probes. In the appro…
