Microstate counting from defects in de Sitter
Jan de Boer, Diego Liska, Kamran Salehi Vaziri
We explore the microscopic origin of de Sitter entropy using a Lorentzian path-integral approach. We construct a Hilbert space whose states are associated with configurations of th…

A universal sum over topologies in 3d gravity
Alexandre Belin, Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt +2
We explore the sum over topologies in AdS quantum gravity and its relationship with the statistical interpretation of the boundary theory. We formulate a statistical version of…

Multiboundary wormholes and OPE statistics
Jan de Boer, Diego Liska, Boris Post
We derive higher moments in the statistical distribution of OPE coefficients in holographic 2D CFTs, and show that such moments correspond to multiboundary Euclidean wormholes in p…
