3D de Sitter from complex Virasoro TQFT: Observers and knots
Jeevan Chandra, Diego Liska, Boris Post
The Euclidean saddles of 3D Einstein gravity with positive cosmological constant are spherical three-manifolds. When one adds a heavy observer, the backreacted saddles are spherica…
Elastic stiffness of three-dimensional black holes and wormholes from Liouville line defects
Jeevan Chandra, Boris Post
We study elastic deformations of thin-shell black holes and wormholes in AdS gravity. These geometries are sourced by line defects in the dual conformal field theory, and their…
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…
Surgery and statistics in 3d gravity
Jan de Boer, Joshua Kames-King, Boris Post
We extend the correspondence between universal statistical features of large- 2d CFTs and surgery methods in pure AdS quantum gravity. In particular, we introduce a method t…
A non-rational Verlinde formula from Virasoro TQFT
Boris Post, Ioannis Tsiares
We use the Virasoro TQFT to derive an integral identity that we view as a non-rational generalization of the Verlinde formula for the Virasoro algebra with central charge $c\geq 25…
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…
A principle of maximum ignorance for semiclassical gravity
Jan de Boer, Diego Liska, Boris Post +1
The principle of maximum ignorance posits that the coarse-grained description of a system is maximally agnostic about its underlying microscopic structure. We briefly review this p…
