The quantum gravity dynamics of near extremal black holes
Open accessAbstract
A bstract: We study the quantum effects of Near-Extremal black holes near their horizons. The gravitational dynamics in such backgrounds are closely connected to a particle in AdS 2 with constant electric field. We use this picture to solve the theory exactly. We will give a formula to calculate all correlation functions with quantum gravity backreactions as well as the exact Wheeler-DeWitt wavefunction. Using the WdW wavefunction, we investigate the complexity growth in quantum gravity.

An explicit illustration of this fact is given in Appendix C of Yang (2019) for a massless scalar field.

Using the known propagator of the particle in the magnetic field in the same limit, one can derive a suggestive expression for JT boundary correlators for ordered operators.
“Using the known propagator of the particle in the magnetic field in the same limit, one can derive the following suggestive expression for JT boundary correlators for the simplest case of ordered operators (Yang 2019):3.85where the ingredients are the bulk propagators of the particle in magnetic field model in proper time (between points in the hyperbolic disk and ) and the “undressed” bulk matter”

The GHY boundary term of the gravity path integral can be rewritten using the 2d Gauss-Bonnet theorem into a worldline path integral, which is a non-relativistic particle in 2d hyperbolic space in an imaginary infinite magnetic field.
“A different approach uses a direct rewriting of the GHY boundary term of the gravity path integral using the 2d Gauss–Bonnet theorem into a worldline path integral as (Kitaev and Suh 2019; Yang 2019; Suh 2020):3.83which is a non-relativistic particle in 2d hyperbolic space (T, Z) in an imaginary infinite magnetic field.”

“Fortunately, as argued in [26, 58], any boundary segment of length β′ m can be replaced in the JT gravity calculations by the insertion of the Wheeler-de Witt wavefunction at the homologous, non-selfintersecting bulk geodesic χ.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
