Gauging the Schwarzian Action
A. Pinzul, A. Stern, Chuang Xu
In this work, we promote the global symmetry of the Schwarzian derivative to a local gauge symmetry. To achieve this, we develop a procedure that potentially can…

Embedding Space Approach to JT Gravity
A. Pinzul, A. Stern, Chuang Xu
We present a coordinate-free background space construction of Euclidean Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. It is written as a gauge theory that utilizes the Killing vectors and conformal K…
