Quantum JT Gravity in a box as a Pöschl-Teller Scattering Problem

Luca Griguolo, Jacopo Papalini, Lorenzo Russo +2

We present a canonical quantization of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity with finite Dirichlet boundary conditions, using the geodesic length between the two boundaries and its conjugate m…

Probing the dynamics of stringy flux tubes with large -charge

Davide Bonomi, Valentina Forini, Valentina Giangreco M. Puletti +2

We study the generalized cusp anomalous dimension, or quark-antiquark potential on the three-sphere, in the presence of a large -charge and at strong coupling. Considering t…

A new perspective on dilaton gravity at finite cutoff

Luca Griguolo, Jacopo Papalini, Lorenzo Russo +1

The formulation of two-dimensional quantum gravity at finite cutoff remains an open problem. We revisit this question in JT gravity from two perspectives: the closed-channel bulk p…

Sine-dilaton gravity vs double-scaled SYK: exploring one-loop quantum corrections

Leonardo Bossi, Luca Griguolo, Jacopo Papalini +2

We provide non-trivial checks of the recently proposed duality between double-scaled SYK and a 2d dilaton gravity model with sine potential, studying the path integral at one-loop…

Asymptotics of Weil-Petersson volumes and two-dimensional quantum gravities

Luca Griguolo, Jacopo Papalini, Lorenzo Russo +1

We propose a refined expression for the large genus asymptotics of the Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli space of super-Riemann surfaces with an arbitrary number of boundaries.…
