This paper pushes forward a conjecture made in [1] that a high-temperature double-scaled limit of the SYK model ($\mathrm{DSSYK}_{\infty}$) describes a de Sitter-like space. We identify a specific bulk theory which we conjecture to be dual…
We work out a precise holographic duality between sine dilaton gravity, and DSSYK. More precisely, canonical quantization of sine dilaton gravity reproduces q-Schwarzian quantum mechanics, which is the auxiliary system that arises from the…
Double-scaled SYK (DSSYK) is known to have an underlying quantum group theoretical description. We precisely pinpoint the quantum group structure, improving upon earlier work in the literature. This allows us to utilize this framework for…
We present a dual gravity interpretation of the complex reparametrization mode $\psi(u)$ that governs the soft dynamics of double-scaled SYK in the presence of a time-dependent Maldacena-Qi coupling. We find that the dual gravity system…
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…
This thesis explores the thermodynamics of the cosmological horizon, aiming to make progress towards a better understanding of the microscopic nature of its entropy. We utilise the constrained nature of low-dimensional gravity to do so and…
We propose a theory of quantum gravity which formulates the quantum theory as a nonperturbative path integral, where each spacetime history appears with a weight given by the exponentiated Einstein-Hilbert action of the corresponding causal…
We study 2d dilaton gravity theories with a periodic potential, with special emphasis on sine dilaton gravity, which is holographically dual to double-scaled SYK. The periodicity of the potentials implies a symmetry under (discrete) shifts…
We study the representations of the three-dimensional Euclidean Snyder-de Sitter algebra. This algebra generates the symmetries of a model admitting two fundamental scales (Planck mass and cosmological constant) and is invariant under the…
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…
Physical spacetime geometry follows from some effective thermodynamics of quantum states of all fields and particles described in frames of General Relativity. In the sense of pure field theoretical Einstein's point of view on gravitation…
Using the quantum Hamiltonian for a gravitational system with boundary, we find the partition function and derive the resulting thermodynamics. The Hamiltonian is the boundary term required by functional differentiability of the action for…
We construct a model of quantum gravity in which dimension, topology and geometry of spacetime are dynamical. The microscopic degree of freedom is a real rectangular matrix whose rows label internal flavours, and columns label spatial…
It is known that the double-scaled SYK model (DSSYK) reduces to JT gravity with a negative cosmological constant by zooming in on the lower edge $E=-E_0$ of the spectrum. We find that the de Sitter JT gravity (i.e. JT gravity with a…
The first mathematically consistent exact equations of quantum gravity in the Heisenberg representation and Hamilton gauge are obtained. It is shown that the path integral over the canonical variables in the Hamilton gauge is mathematically…
We introduce a simple microscopic quantum mechanical model of low-dimensional de Sitter holography with an observer. Using semiclassical gravity and elementary thermodynamic considerations, we derive a formula for the total entropy of a 3D…
Most approaches towards a quantum theory of gravitation indicate the existence of a minimal length scale of the order of the Planck length. Quantum mechanical models incorporating such an intrinsic length scale call for a deformation of…
We show that DSSYK amplitudes are reproduced by considering the quantum mechanics of a constrained particle on the quantum group SU$_q(1,1)$. We construct its left-and right-regular representations, and show that the representation matrices…
It is believed that gravity will be explained in the framework of the existing quantum theory when one succeeds in eliminating divergencies at large momenta or small distances (although the phenomenon of gravity has been observed only at…
We study the properties of the double-scaled SYK (DSSYK) model under chord Hamiltonian deformations based on finite cutoff holography for general dilaton gravity theories with Dirichlet boundaries. The formalism immediately incorporates a…
