Wormholes, branes and finite matrices in sine dilaton gravity
Andreas Blommaert, Adam Levine, Thomas G. Mertens +2
We compute the double trumpet in sine dilaton gravity via WdW quantization. The wormhole size is discretized. The wormhole amplitude matches the spectral correlation of a finite-cu…
Probing the singularity at the holographic screen via -holography
Andreas Belaey, Thomas G. Mertens, Jacopo Papalini
We study the emergence of -deformed spacetime in a lower-dimensional gravitational system whose asymptotic region geometrizes the global symmetry of a -deformed CFT. More pre…
The dilaton gravity hologram of double-scaled SYK
Andreas Blommaert, Thomas G. Mertens, Jacopo Papalini
We work out a precise holographic duality between sine dilaton gravity, and DSSYK. More precisely, canonical quantization of sine dilaton gravity reproduces q-Schwarzian quantum me…
The q-Schwarzian and Liouville gravity
Andreas Blommaert, Thomas G. Mertens, Shunyu Yao
We present a new holographic duality between q-Schwarzian quantum mechanics and Liouville gravity. The q-Schwarzian is a one parameter deformation of the Schwarzian, which is dual…
An entropic puzzle in periodic dilaton gravity and DSSYK
Andreas Blommaert, Adam Levine, Thomas G. Mertens +2
We study 2d dilaton gravity theories with a periodic potential, with special emphasis on sine dilaton gravity, which is holographically dual to double-scaled SYK. The periodicity o…
