We study the quantum dynamics of an interior planar AdS (anti-de Sitter) black hole, requiring unitarity in the natural time coordinate conjugate to the cosmological "constant of motion" appearing in unimodular gravity. Both the classical…
In Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity, the naive Schwarzian quantum mechanics leads to a continuous bulk spectrum, in apparent contradiction with the finite entropy of the black hole, which requires a discrete spectrum with level spacing of order…
