Nonperturbative Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity
Open accessAbstract
Recently, Saad et al. showed how to define the genus expansion of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) quantum gravity in terms of a double-scaled Hermitian matrix model. However, the model's nonperturbative sector has fatal instabilities at low energy that they be cured by procedures that render the physics nonunique. This might not be a desirable property for a system that is supposed to capture key features of quantum black holes. Presented here is a model with identical zperturbative physics at high energy that instead has a stable and unambiguous nonperturbative completion of the physics at low energy. An explicit examination of the full spectral density function shows how this is achieved. The new model, which is based on complex matrix models, also allows for the straightforward inclusion of spacetime features analogous to Ramond-Ramond fluxes. Intriguingly, there is a deformation parameter that connects this nonperturbative formulation of JT gravity to one which, at low energy, has features of a super JT gravity.

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.
