Recent work has emphasized a subtlety of large- $N$ limits in AdS/CFT: a sequence of pure states in the microscopic theory need not remain pure with respect to the emergent algebra of observables. We study this phenomenon for…

An intriguing feature of type II$_1$ von Neumann algebra is that the entropy of the mixed states is negative. Although the type classification of von Neumann algebra and its consequence in holography have been extensively explored recently,…

We propose a new model of low dimensional de Sitter holography in the form of a pair of double-scaled SYK models at infinite temperature coupled via an equal energy constraint $H_L=H_R$. As a test of the duality, we compute the two-point…

The double-scaled limit of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model takes the number of fermions and their interaction number to infinity in a coordinated way. In this limit, two entangled copies of the SYK model have a bulk description of sorts…

The emergence of the bulk Hilbert space is a mysterious concept in holography. In arXiv:1811.02584, the SYK model was solved in the double scaling limit by summing chord diagrams. Here, we explicitly construct the bulk Hilbert space of…

We compute the exact density of states and 2-point function of the $\mathcal{N} =2$ super-symmetric SYK model in the large $N$ double-scaled limit, by using combinatorial tools that relate the moments of the distribution to sums over…

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…

One of us (L.S.) and H. Verlinde independently conjectured a holographic duality between the double-scaled SYK model at infinite temperature and dimensionally reduced $(2+1)$-dimensional de Sitter space [1]-[8]. Beyond the statement that…

We study the partition function of 3D de Sitter gravity defined as the trace over the Hilbert space obtained by quantizing the phase space of non-rotating Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime. Motivated by the correspondence with double scaled…

We consider a simplified model of double scaled SYK (DSSYK) in which the Hamiltonian is the position operator of the Harmonic oscillator. This model captures the high temperature limit of DSSYK but could also be defined as a quantum theory…

We extend the notion of chord number in the strict large $N$ double-scaled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (DSSYK) model to the corresponding finite $N$ ETH matrix model. The chord number in the strict large $N$ DSSYK model is known to correspond to the…

The IR dynamics of SYK is that of the Schwarzian theory, the effective theory of broken reparametrization invariance. In the double scaling limit, SYK is completely solvable by chord diagrams, whose generating functional is a bilocal…
