abstract

We extend the correspondence between universal statistical features of large-$c$ 2d CFTs and surgery methods in pure AdS$_3$ quantum gravity. In particular, we introduce a method that we call RMT surgery, which relates a large class of off-shell partition functions in 3d gravity to the spectral statistics of general CFT observables. We apply this method to construct and compute an off-shell Euclidean wormhole whose boundaries are four-punctured spheres, which captures level repulsion in the high-energy sector of the boundary CFT. Using a similar gluing prescription, we also explore a new class of off-shell torus wormholes with trumpet boundaries, contributing to statistical moments of the density of primary states. Lastly, we demonstrate that surgery methods can be used as an intermediate step towards computing Seifert manifolds directly in 3d gravity.

Black Holes and Random Variables

hep-th · 2026-07-02 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Formulates an avatar of the Fyodorov-Hiary-Keating conjecture for black hole microstate counts, implying sharp bounds on CFT primary operator interval counts and suggesting that AdS spectra exhibit extreme value statistics of Gaussian log-correlated random matrices.

An observer's quantization of 3d de Sitter

hep-th · 2026-06-24 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Proposes an SL(2,Z) sum of Kerr-lens geometries in 3d dS gravity whose spectral density is computed via crosscap amplitudes in CLS ⊗ CLS, matching semi-classical predictions and reducing in a simple case to GΣ ⊗ GΣ on the observer worldline.

Additional constraints for the tensor bootstrap

hep-th · 2026-06-23 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

New positivity constraints from open bubbles and color matrices provide sharp bounds on unitary tensor integrals at finite N and probe deviations from Gaussian universality.

On random matrix statistics of 3d gravity

hep-th · 2025-12-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

3d gravity on Σ_{g,n} × I with EOW branes equals the Virasoro minimal string random matrix model, with exact match for g=0 n=2 and inner-product formulation for negative Euler characteristic.

ASEP/DSSYK duality and strange correlator

hep-th · 2026-06-17 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Moments of the DSSYK transfer matrix equal an ASEP stationary-product state overlap, presented as analogous to the strange correlator in topological state-sum models.
