De Sitter quantum gravity and the emergence of local algebras
Molly Kaplan, Donald Marolf, Xuyang Yu +1
Quantum theories of gravity are generally expected to have some degree of non-locality, with familiar local physics emerging only in a particular limit. Perturbative quantum gravit…

Closed universes, factorization, and ensemble averaging
Mykhaylo Usatyuk, Ying Zhao
We study closed universes in holographic theories of quantum gravity. We argue that within any fixed theory, factorization implies there is one unique closed universe state. The wa…

Closed universes in two dimensional gravity
Mykhaylo Usatyuk, Zi-Yue Wang, Ying Zhao
We study closed universes in simple models of two dimensional gravity, such as Jackiw-Teiteilboim (JT) gravity coupled to matter, and a toy topological model that captures the key…
