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…
SYK Correlators from 2D Liouville-de Sitter Gravity
Herman Verlinde, Mengyang Zhang
We introduce and study a candidate gravity dual to the double scaled SYK model in the form of an exactly soluble 2D de Sitter gravity model consisting of two spacelike Liouville CF…
3d gravity from Virasoro TQFT: Holography, wormholes and knots
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Mengyang Zhang
We further develop the description of three-dimensional quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant in terms of Virasoro TQFT formulated in our previous paper arXiv:2304.13…
Probing Supersymmetric Black Holes with Surface Defects
Yiming Chen, Matthew Heydeman, Yifan Wang +1
It has long been conjectured that the large deconfinement phase transition of super-Yang-Mills corresponds via AdS/CFT to the Hawking-Page transit…
Solving 3d Gravity with Virasoro TQFT
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Mengyang Zhang
We propose a precise reformulation of 3d quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant in terms of a topological quantum field theory based on the quantization of the Teichmü…
S-duality in -deformed CFT
Nathan Benjamin, Scott Collier, Jorrit Kruthoff +2
deformed conformal field theories can be reformulated as worldsheet theories of non-critical strings. We use this correspondence to compute and study the defo…
