A measure on the space of CFTs and pure 3D gravity
Alexandre Belin, Alexander Maloney, Florian Seefeld
We define a normalizable measure on the space of two-dimensional conformal field theories, which we interpret as a maximum ignorance ensemble. We test whether pure quantum gravity…
The spectrum of pure dS gravity in the static patch
Joydeep Chakravarty, Alexander Maloney, Keivan Namjou +1
We consider the quantum mechanical description of the de Sitter static patch in three-dimensional general relativity. We consider a Lorentzian path integral that conjecturally comp…
Lindblad evolution as gradient flow
Greg Kaplanek, Alexander Maloney, Jason Pollack +1
We give a simple argument that, for a large class of jump operators, the Lindblad evolution can be written as a gradient flow in the space of density operators acting on a Hilbert…
Ordinary wormholes
Alexander Maloney, Viraj Meruliya, Mark Van Raamsdonk
Euclidean wormholes have played a key role in the recent ``disorder averaged" approaches to quantum gravity and holography, but are typically only considered in somewhat special th…
