abstract
We give further evidence that the matrix-tensor model studied in \cite{belin2023} is dual to AdS$_{3}$ gravity including the sum over topologies. This provides a 3D version of the duality between JT gravity and an ensemble of random Hamiltonians, in which the matrix and tensor provide random CFT$_2$ data subject to a potential that incorporates the bootstrap constraints. We show how the Feynman rules of the ensemble produce a sum over all three-manifolds and how surgery is implemented by the matrix integral. The partition functions of the resulting 3d gravity theory agree with Virasoro TQFT (VTQFT) on a fixed, hyperbolic manifold. However, on non-hyperbolic geometries, our 3d gravity theory differs from VTQFT, leading to a difference in the eigenvalue statistics of the associated ensemble. As explained in \cite{belin2023}, the Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equations of the matrix-tensor integral play a crucial role in understanding how gravity emerges in the limit that the ensemble localizes to exact CFT's. We show how the SD equations can be translated into a combinatorial problem about three-manifolds.

Elastic stiffness of three-dimensional black holes and wormholes from Liouville line defects
Shape and mass-density deformations of thin-shell AdS3 black holes and wormholes have stiffness kernels equal to two-point functions of defect-local displacement and mass-density operators, computed from linearized Li...

The $\alpha$-states of a string worldsheet
The α-states of the Hurwitz worldsheet are symmetric-group characters weighted by the Poissonized Plancherel measure, so string amplitudes are ensemble averages whose weak-coupling limit is Kerov's central limit theorem.

Black Holes and Random Variables
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}.

The many facets of a hyperbolic tetrahedron: open and closed triangulations of 3d gravity
Open Virasoro TQFT equals fixed-length/angle 3d gravity path integrals on compact regions and yields the CTV–scalar Virasoro relation via open-closed duality.

Crystalline Spectral Form Factors
Strong level repulsion produces damped crystalline oscillations of the spectral form factor, with a Debye-Waller suppression, a new plateau time scale t* ≈ t_H sqrt(β/4), and predictable derivative singularities.

Statistics in 3d gravity from knots and links
Fragmentation of knots and links by Wilson lines builds wormhole amplitudes that give non-perturbative Gaussian and non-Gaussian corrections to OPE statistics in 3d gravity and CFT2.

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