Holography on the Quantum Disk

Abstract

Motivated by recent study of DSSYK and the non-commutative nature of its bulk dual, we review and analyze an example of a non-commutative spacetime known as the quantum disk proposed by L. Vaksman. The quantum disk is defined as the space whose isometries are generated by the quantum algebra Uq(su1,1)U_q(\mathfrak{su}_{1,1}). We review how this algebra is defined and its associated group SUq(1,1)SU_q(1,1) that it generates, highlighting its non-trivial coproduct that sources bulk non-commutativity. We analyze the structure of holography on the quantum disk and study the imprint of non-commutativity on the putative boundary dual.
