We study both the classical and the quantum target space of (p,q) minimal string theory, using the FZZT brane as a probe. By thinking of the target space as the moduli space of FZZT branes, parametrized by the boundary cosmological constant x, we see that classically it consists of a Riemann surface \CM_{p,q} which is a p-sheeted cover of the complex x plane. However, we show using the dual matrix model that the exact quantum FZZT observables exhibit Stokes' phenomenon and are entire functions of x. Along the way we clarify some points about the semiclassical limit of D-brane correlation functions. The upshot is that nonperturbative effects modify the target space drastically, changing it from \CM_{p,q} to the complex x plane. To illustrate these ideas, we study in detail the example of (p,q)=(2,1), which is dual to the Gaussian matrix model. Here we learn that the other sheets of the classical Riemann surface describe instantons in the effective theory on the brane. Finally, we discuss possible applications to black holes and the topological string.

An entropic puzzle in periodic dilaton gravity and DSSYK
Gauging a momentum shift symmetry in sine dilaton gravity yields the DSSYK spectrum, makes negative-length states null, and predicts a finite entropy S=2πθ−2θ² instead of the Bekenstein-Hawking area law.

Mind the crosscap: $\tau$-scaling in non-orientable gravity and time-reversal-invariant systems
Non-orientable topological gravity produces a resummed topological expansion whose late-time behavior matches the GOE universality class of random matrix theory for time-reversal invariant chaotic systems.

An observer's quantization of 3d de Sitter
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...

All the D-Branes of Resurgence
Negative-tension ZZ-branes are required by resurgence to build complete transseries for minimal-string free energies, with analytic Stokes data and extensions to JT gravity and other string models.
