Quantum exponentials for the modular double and applications in gravity models
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 In this note, we propose a decomposition of the quantum matrix group SL q + $$ {\textrm{SL}}_q^{+} $$ (2, ℝ) as (deformed) exponentiation of the quantum algebra generators of Faddeev’s modular double of U q ( sl $$ \mathfrak{sl} $$ (2, ℝ)).

Lorentzian quantum gravity via Pachner moves: one-loop evaluation
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Lorentzian quantum gravity is believed to cure the pathologies encountered in Euclidean quantum gravity, such as the conformal factor problem. We show that this is the case for the Lorentzian Regge path integral expanded around a flat background.

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 Combinatorial quantum gravity is governed by a discrete Einstein-Hilbert action formulated on an ensemble of random graphs. There is strong evidence for a second-order quantum phase transition separating a random phase at strong coupling from an ordered,

Effective de Sitter space, quantum behaviour and large-scale spectral dimension (3+1)
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 De Sitter space-time, essentially our own universe, is plagued by problems at the quantum level. Here we propose that Lorentzian de Sitter space-time is not fundamental but constitutes only an effective description of a more fundamental quantum gravity ...

From quantum groups to Liouville and dilaton quantum gravity
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We investigate the underlying quantum group symmetry of 2d Liouville and dilaton gravity models, both consolidating known results and extending them to the cases with N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supersymmetry.

An outsider’s perspective on information recovery in de Sitter space
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Entanglement islands play a crucial role in our understanding of how Hawking radiation encodes information in a black hole, but their relevance in cosmological spacetimes is less clear. In this paper, we continue our investigation of information recovery

Effective gravitational action for 2D massive fermions
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We work out the effective gravitational action for 2D massive Euclidean fermions in a small mass expansion. Besides the leading Liouville action, the order m 2 gravitational action contains a piece characteristic of the Mabuchi action, much as for 2D ...

The two-sphere partition function from timelike Liouville theory at three-loop order
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 While the Euclidean two-dimensional gravitational path integral is in general highly fluctuating, it admits a semiclassical two-sphere saddle if coupled to a matter CFT with large and positive central charge. In Weyl gauge this gravity theory is known as

The two-sphere partition function in two-dimensional quantum gravity
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We study the Euclidean path integral of two-dimensional quantum gravity with positive cosmological constant coupled to conformal matter with large and positive central charge.

The price of curiosity: information recovery in de Sitter space
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Recent works have revealed that quantum extremal islands can contribute to the fine-grained entropy of black hole radiation reproducing the unitary Page curve.
