Sine-dilaton gravity has been proposed as the holographic dual of the double scaled SYK (DSSYK) model. In this work, we examine this duality by deriving general matter correlation functions directly from the bulk perspective. A novel…
We study the end of the world (EOW) brane in double scaled SYK (DSSYK) model. We find that the boundary state of EOW brane is a coherent state of the $q$-deformed oscillators and the associated orthogonal polynomial is the continuous big…
The formulation of two-dimensional quantum gravity at finite cutoff remains an open problem. We revisit this question in JT gravity from two perspectives: the closed-channel bulk path integral and the path integral over boundary curves.…
We find models of two-dimensional gravity that resolve the factorization puzzle and have a discrete spectrum, whilst retaining a semiclassical description. A novelty of these models is that they contain non-trivially correlated spacetime…
We study classical wormhole solutions in 3D gravity with end-of-the-world (EOW) branes, conical defects, kinks, and punctures. These solutions compute statistical averages of an ensemble of boundary conformal field theories (BCFTs) related…
Sine dilaton gravity is holographically related to DSSYK. We explain how to interpret sine dilaton as 2d quantum cosmology. This paves the way for using two copies of DSSYK as hologram for Big-Bang cosmologies. We study the most basic…
We study Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity with dynamical end of the world branes in asymptotically nearly AdS$_2$ spacetimes. We quantize this theory in Lorentz signature, and compute the Euclidean path integral summing over topologies including…
In this work, we revisit the end-of-the-world (EOW) brane amplitudes in JT gravity from a BF gauge theoretic perspective. Observing and identifying the correct group theoretic ingredient for a closed EOW brane as a discrete series…
We propose a generalization of the Saad-Shenker-Stanford duality relating matrix models and JT gravity to the case in which the bulk includes higher spin fields. Using a $\textsf{PSL}(N,\mathbb{R})$ BF theory we compute the disk and…
Super-exponential warp factors have been proposed in the context of two-brane models to solve the gauge hierarchy problem of scales by using a compactification scale of the same order of the fundamental Planck scale, completely eliminating…
We study shape deformations of two-dimensional end-of-the-world (ETW) branes, such as those in bottom-up models of two-dimensional holographic boundary conformal field theories (BCFT), and derive an action for the theory of brane…
We compute the two-point function of matter operators in the double-scaled SYK (DSSYK) model, where the two matter operators are inserted at each end of the cylindrical wormhole. We find that the wormhole amplitude in DSSYK is written as a…
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…
We extend the dictionary between Type IIB branes and representations of the Ding-Iohara-Miki (DIM) algebra to the case when one of the space directions is a circle. It is well-known that the worldvolume theory on branes wrapping the circle…
The structures in target space geometry that correspond to conformally invariant boundary conditions in WZW theories are determined both by studying the scattering of closed string states and by investigating the algebra of open string…
We provide non-trivial checks of the recently proposed duality between double-scaled SYK and a 2d dilaton gravity model with sine potential, studying the path integral at one-loop level. Specifically, we compute the logarithmic correction…
We present exact results for partition functions of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity on two-dimensional surfaces of arbitrary genus with an arbitrary number of boundaries. The boundaries are of the type relevant in the NAdS${}_2$/NCFT${}_1$…
This thesis explores traversable wormhole (WH) solutions within symmetric teleparallel gravity and its extensions, including $f(Q)$ and $f(Q, T)$ gravity. Chapter I reviews WH geometry and properties, general relativity, and modified…
We explicitly compute the tree-level on-shell four-graviton amplitudes in four, five and six dimensions for local and weakly nonlocal gravitational theories that are quadratic in both, the Ricci and scalar curvature with form factors of the…
We propose a precise duality between pure de Sitter quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions and a double-scaled matrix integral. This duality unfolds in two distinct aspects. First, by carefully quantizing the gravitational phase space, we arrive…
