Lorentzian Path Integrals and Jackiw-Teitelboim wormholes with imaginary scalars
Jesse Held, Molly Kaplan, Donald Marolf +1
The Lorentzian path integral was recently used to argue that standard Euclidean axion wormholes do not dominate computations of connected AdS/CFT partition functions. We now apply…
Axion Wormholes and the AdS/CFT Factorization Problem
Jesse Held, Molly Kaplan, Donald Marolf +1
This work investigates the relevance of Euclidean and complex axion wormholes to the AdS/CFT factorization problem. We use a framework that defines bulk gravitational path integral…
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…
Link-area commutators in AdS area-networks
Jesse Held, Molly Kaplan, Donald Marolf +1
Random tensor networks (RTNs) have proved to be fruitful tools for modelling the AdS/CFT correspondence. Due to their flat entanglement spectra, when discussing a given boundary re…
