Higher spin wormholes from modular bootstrap

High Energy Physics - Theory 2021-10-08 v2

Abstract

We investigate the connection between spacetime wormholes and ensemble averaging in the context of higher spin AdS3_3/CFT2_2. Using techniques from modular bootstrap combined with some holographic inputs, we evaluate the partition function of a Euclidean wormhole in AdS3_3 higher spin gravity. The fixed spin sectors of the dual CFT2_2 exhibit features that starkly go beyond conventional random matrix ensembles: power-law ramps in the spectral form factor and potentials with a double-well/crest underlying the level statistics.
