abstract
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 at a novel proposal for the quantum state of the universe at future infinity. We compute cosmological correlators of massive particles in the universe specified by this wavefunction. Integrating these correlators over the metric at future infinity yields gauge-invariant observables, which are identified with the string amplitudes of the complex Liouville string arXiv:2409.17246. This establishes a direct connection between integrated cosmological correlators and the resolvents of the matrix integral dual to the complex Liouville string, thereby demonstrating one aspect of the dS$_3$/matrix integral duality. The second aspect concerns the cosmological horizon of the dS static patch and the Gibbons-Hawking entropy it is conjectured to encode. We show that this entropy can be reproduced exactly by counting the entries of the matrix.

Symmetry TFTs for Continuous Spacetime Symmetries
Continuous spacetime symmetries can be encoded in a (d+1)-dimensional BF/Chern-Simons topological field theory, whose boundary reproduces symmetry generators, symmetry breaking, and anomalies.

Norm of the no-boundary state
At one loop and late time, the norm of the Hartle-Hawking no-boundary state vanishes as e^{S0}/(vol(SO(d,1)) S0^{d(d+1)/4}), and adding an observer stabilizes it to a large positive value.

Quantum Liouville Cosmology
Timelike Liouville disk path integrals in fixed K-representation produce Hartle-Hawking-like states, a conjecture for all-loop wavefunctions, and a K-independent inner product for 2D quantum cosmology.

Cosmological correlators in gravitationally-constrained de Sitter states
Cosmological correlators in gravitationally constrained de Sitter states are conformally invariant and differ from QFT vacuum correlators, but relational observables with a heavy background state can reproduce QFT results.
