We review recent developments in Jackiw–Teitelboim gravity. This is a simple solvable
model of quantum gravity in two dimensions (that arises eg from the s-wave sector of higher …

We review recent progress on the information paradox. We explain why exponentially small
correlations in the radiation emitted by a black hole are sufficient to resolve the original …

A bstract We rewrite the Chern-Simons description of pure gravity on global AdS 3 and on
Euclidean BTZ black holes as a quantum field theory on the AdS boundary. The resulting …

A bstract We study aspects of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) quantum gravity in two-dimensional
nearly de Sitter (dS) spacetime, as well as pure de Sitter quantum gravity in three …

A bstract We show that an extremely generic class of two-dimensional conformal field
theories (CFTs) contains a sector described by the Schwarzian theory. This applies to …

Schwarzian quantum mechanics describes the collective IR mode of the SYK model and
captures key features of 2D black hole dynamics. Exact results for its correlation functions …

A bstract We specify bulk coordinates in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity using a boundary-
intrinsic radar definition. This allows us to study and calculate exactly diff-invariant bulk …

A bstract Aspects of black hole thermodynamics and information loss can be derived as a
consequence of Virasoro symmetry. To bolster the connection between Virasoro conformal …

A bstract In two dimensional conformal field theories the limit of large central charge plays
the role of a semi-classical limit. Certain universal observables, such as conformal blocks …

We investigate the off-diagonal sector of eigenstate thermalization using both local and
nonlocal probes in two-dimensional conformal field theories. A novel analysis of the …
