Multiboundary wormholes and OPE statistics

de Boer, Jan, Liška, Diego, Post, Boris·2024·Journal of High Energy Physics

Abstract

A bstract: We derive higher moments in the statistical distribution of OPE coefficients in holographic 2D CFTs, and show that such moments correspond to multiboundary Euclidean wormholes in pure 3D gravity. The n th cyclic non-Gaussian contraction of heavy-heavy-light OPE coefficients follows from crossing symmetry of the thermal n -point function. We derive universal expressions for the cubic and quartic moments and demonstrate that their scaling with the microcanonical entropy agrees with a generalization of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis. Motivated by this result, we conjecture that the full statistical ensemble of OPE data is fixed by three premises: typicality, crossing symmetry and modular invariance. Together, these properties give predictions for non-factorizing observables, such as the generalized spectral form factor. Using the Virasoro TQFT, we match these connected averages to new on-shell wormhole topologies with multiple boundary components. Lastly, we study and clarify examples where the statistics of heavy operators are not universal and depend on the light operator spectrum. We give a gravitational interpretation to these corrections in terms of Wilson loops winding around non-trivial cycles in the bulk.

Figure 5 The Heegaard splitting described in this section leads to a three-boundary torus wormhole, whose conical defect lines meet in a bulk three-point vertex. The bulk has non-trivial topology (not shown in this figure), arising from the glueing of genus-two handlebodies.

Figure 7 The 'skyline' channel decomposition of the genus-three partition function (a) can be thought of, diagrammatically, as a three-dimensional tetrahedron (b) with edges labelled by Liouville momenta P i , i = 1 , . . . , 6. The smooth function appearing in the quartic non-Gaussianity (4.4) has the same symmetries as this tetrahedron. The diagram can equivalently be drawn as a crossing partition of an 'exchange' diagram (c) between four operators, modulo phases.

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.
