abstract

We present a quantitative and fully non-perturbative description of the ergodic phase of quantum chaos in the setting of two-dimensional gravity. To this end we describe the doubly non-perturbative completion of semiclassical 2D gravity in terms of its associated universe field theory. The guiding principle of our analysis is a flavor-matrix theory (fMT) description of the ergodic phase of holographic gravity, which exhibits $\mathrm{U}(n|n)$ causal symmetry breaking and restoration. JT gravity and its 2D-gravity cousins alone do not realize an action principle with causal symmetry, however we demonstrate that their {\it universe field theory}, the Kodaira-Spencer (KS) theory of gravity, does. After directly deriving the fMT from brane-antibrane correlators in KS theory, we show that causal symmetry breaking and restoration can be understood geometrically in terms of different (topological) D-brane vacua. We interpret our results in terms of an open-closed string duality between holomorphic Chern-Simons theory and its closed-string equivalent, the KS theory of gravity. Emphasis will be put on relating these geometric principles to the characteristic spectral correlations of the quantum ergodic phase.

  1. The universality class of the first levels in low-dimensional gravity

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Near-edge states in dense chaotic systems and in JT gravity have a universal, analytically computed fidelity susceptibility distribution that is heavy-tailed yet parametrically more rigid than bulk states.

  2. Black Holes and Random Variables

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    High-energy CFT and black-hole interval counts are conjectured to obey the FHK extreme-value law; the resulting O(1) erratic fluctuations limit semiclassical AdS precision to e^{-S0}.

  3. Microstate counting from defects in de Sitter

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Counting defect microstates via Lorentzian wormholes reproduces the de Sitter and Schwarzschild-de Sitter entropy area laws.

  4. Holography of K-complexity: Switchbacks and Shockwaves

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Operator Krylov complexity in triple-scaled DSSYK matches JT-gravity geodesic lengths with shockwaves and exhibits the switchback effect when the Lanczos algorithm is perturbed by two-sided operator insertions.

  5. Non-conformal Line Defect (Shell Operator) in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$: Spinning and Higher Point Correlators

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spinning and higher-point thin-shell operator correlators in AdS3/CFT2 are shown to match across ETH analysis, the vacuum Virasoro block, and gravitational on-shell actions, with order-dependent structure for multiple...

  6. It from ETH: Multi-interval Entanglement and Replica Wormholes from Large-$c$ BCFT Ensemble

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The RT formula for entanglement in AdS3/CFT2, including phase transitions and multi-interval vacuum entropies, is derived from an assumed large-c ensemble of (B)CFT data, under the 'It from ETH' paradigm.
