Two-dimensional quantum gravity is identified as a second-class system which we convert into a first-class system via the Batalin-Fradkin (BF) procedure. Using the extended phase space method, we then formulate the theory in most general…
Zamolodchikov's recursion relations are used to analyze the existence and approximations to the classical conformal block in the case of four parabolic weights. Strong numerical evidence is found that the saddle point momenta arising in the…
Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model has emerged as a new paradigm of the non-Fermi-liquid behavior. Here we investigate a possibility of having a superconducting off-diagonal long-range order (ODLRO) and a pseudogap phase within the SYK…
In these lectures we give a geometrical formulation of N-extended supergravities which generalizes N=2 special geometry of N=2 theories. In all these theories duality symmetries are related to the notion of "flat symplectic bundles" and…
We consider a time-dependent deformation of anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space-time which contains a cosmological "singularity" - a space-like region of high curvature. Making use of the AdS/CFT correspondence we can map the bulk dynamics onto the…
We investigate the connection between the full- and flat-sky angular power spectra. First, we revisit this connection established on the geometric and physical grounds, namely that the angular correlations on the sphere and in the plane…
Symmetry properties of the evolution equation and the state to be controlled are shown to determine the basic features of the linear control of unstable orbits. In particular, the selection of control parameters and their minimal number are…
In this note we study the SYK model with one time point, recently considered by Saad, Shenker, Stanford, and Yao. Working in a collective field description, they derived a remarkable identity: the square of the partition function with fixed…
The phenomenology for the deep spatial geometry of loop quantum gravity is discussed. In the context of a simple model of an atom of space, it is shown how purely combinatorial structures can affect observations. The angle operator is used…
One central question in quantum gravity is to understand how and why predictions from semiclassical gravity can break down in regimes with low spacetime curvature. One diagnostic of such a breakdown is that states which are orthonormal at…
We identify the rank $(q_{syk}+1)$ of the interaction of the two-dimensional ${\cal N}=(2,2)$ SYK model with the deformation parameter $\lambda$ in the Bergshoeff, de Wit and Vasiliev(in 1991)'s linear $W_{\infty}[\lambda]$ algebra via…
We consider the probability measures on Young diagrams in the $n \times k$ rectangle obtained by piecewise-continuously differentiable specializations of Schur polynomials in the dual Cauchy identity. We use a free fermionic representation…
We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, $N$ fermions with a $q$-body interaction of infinite range, coupled to a Markovian environment. Close to the infinite-temperature steady state, the real-time…
Semiclassical gravity couples classical gravity to the quantized matter in meanfield approximation. The meanfield coupling is problematic for two reasons. First, it ignores the quantum fluctuation of matter distribution. Second, it violates…
We study correlation functions in the one-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric SYK model. The leading order 4-point correlation functions are computed by summing over ladder diagrams expanded in a suitable basis of conformal…
By revisiting the path-integral formulation of the Hubbard model, we propose a theoretical approach based on a semiclassical approximation employing an unconventional coherent-state representation. Within this framework, a subset of the…
This paper aims to clarify conceptual aspects of emergent structure in IKKT-type matrix models. Even without any adjustable parameters in the action, non-trivial matrix vacua do acquire a meaningful coupling constant, as well as two…
The chiral SYK model is an 1+1 dimensional generalisation of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model with chiral Majorana fermions and homogeneous random interactions. In the large N limit, the model admits an exact solution of the two-point function…
The matter operator in the double-scaled SYK model exhibits special properties when its dimension is analytically continued to -1/2. At this dimension, the operator is in a degenerate representation of the q-deformed oscillator algebra and…
Families of conformal field theories are naturally endowed with a Riemannian geometry which is locally encoded by correlation functions of exactly marginal operators. We show that the curvature of such conformal manifolds can be computed…
