End of the world brane in double scaled SYK

Abstract

We study the end of the world (EOW) brane in double scaled SYK (DSSYK) model. We find that the boundary state of EOW brane is a coherent state of the qq-deformed oscillators and the associated orthogonal polynomial is the continuous big qq-Hermite polynomial. In a certain scaling limit, the big qq-Hermite polynomial reduces to the Whittaker function, which reproduces the wavefunction of JT gravity with an EOW brane. We also compute the half-wormhole amplitude in DSSYK and show that the amplitude is decomposed into the trumpet and the factor coming from the EOW brane.
