A Tale of Two Hartle-Hawking Wave Functions: Fully Gravitational vs Partially Frozen
Galit Anikeeva, Raphaël Dulac, Zixia Wei +1
We revisit the Hartle-Hawking wave function in AdS spacetime, where natural spatial slices are open and require an additional spacetime boundary. This leads to two constructions: a…

No boundary density matrix in elliptic de Sitter dS/
Raphaël Dulac, Zixia Wei
Elliptic de Sitter (dS) spacetime dS is a non-time-orientable spacetime obtained by imposing an antipodal identification to global dS. Unlike QFT on global dS, whose…

Zooming out of AdSSS: The Branes behind the CFT's
Iosif Bena, Antoine Bourget, Raphaël Dulac +2
We reveal the supersymmetric brane configurations that give rise to AdSSS supergravity solutions, which are holographic duals to three-dimensional CFT…
