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.

  1. The Lorentzian Geometry of Tunneling in Global de Sitter at Late Time

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A late-time Lorentzian Hamiltonian/WKB calculation of bubble nucleation in de Sitter reproduces the CDL decay exponent for all tunneling types, with gravity-dominated bubbles going on-shell at the parent horizon.

  2. Toward the Structure Constants of $\mathcal{N}=2$ Liouville Theory

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    N=2 Liouville structure constants are proposed via mirror symmetry to the SL(2)_k/U(1) supercoset, with angular-momentum-violating sectors given explicitly and tested semiclassically to leading loop order.

  3. Virasoro OPE and Conformal Blocks from the Inverse Shapovalov Form

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new explicit level-by-level series for four-point Virasoro conformal blocks on the sphere, with coefficients fixed by singular-vector weights, differing from Zamolodchikov recursion and AGT forms.

  4. Symmetry TFTs for Continuous Spacetime Symmetries

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  5. Norm of the no-boundary state

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  6. The Runkel-Watts string

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Runkel-Watts string is a solvable family of two-dimensional string theories whose all-genus amplitudes are generated by SU(2) Yang-Mills TQFT data combined with VMS quantum volumes, and it has a dual matrix-integr...

    Out-of-time-order correlators along a de Sitter observer worldline, computed with the shockwave eikonal formalism including recoil and backreaction, violate the cyclicity and positivity required of a trace, falsifying...

  8. Quantum Liouville Cosmology

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  9. Microstate counting from defects in de Sitter

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

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

    The probe-regime two-point function of sinh dilaton gravity matches the q-deformed Ward identity correlator, indicating an emergent quantum hyperbolic disk with SLq(2) isometry near the holographic boundary.
