Lorentzian Path Integrals and Jackiw-Teitelboim wormholes with imaginary scalars
Jesse Held, Molly Kaplan, Donald Marolf +1
The Lorentzian path integral was recently used to argue that standard Euclidean axion wormholes do not dominate computations of connected AdS/CFT partition functions. We now apply…

Axion Wormholes and the AdS/CFT Factorization Problem
Jesse Held, Molly Kaplan, Donald Marolf +1
This work investigates the relevance of Euclidean and complex axion wormholes to the AdS/CFT factorization problem. We use a framework that defines bulk gravitational path integral…

Euclidean and complex geometries from real-time computations of gravitational Rényi entropies
Jesse Held, Xiaoyi Liu, Donald Marolf +1
Gravitational Rényi computations have traditionally been described in the language of Euclidean path integrals. In the semiclassical limit, such calculations are governed by Eucli…
