abstract

Several distinct concepts of temperature appear in the holographic description of de Sitter space. Conflating these has led to confusion and inconsistent claims. The double-scaled limit of SYK is a concrete model in which we can examine and explain these different concepts of temperature. This note began as an addendum to our paper ``Comments on a Paper by Narovlansky and Verlinde" but in the process of writing it we learned new things -- interesting in their own right -- that we wish to report here.

Holograms and Standard Models

hep-th · 2026-07-06 · conditional · novelty 7.0

DSSYK∞ at infinite temperature duals in the flat-space limit to the 't Hooft model, and holographic entropy at TB=∞ forbids quantum corrections to the vacuum energy.

The yes boundaries wavefunctions of the universe

hep-th · 2026-04-11 · conditional · novelty 6.5

A constrained product of two dressed one-sided dS quantum systems yields a holographic dual whose top-band TFD and lower tall states capture the future wedge and overlapping causal wedges.

Probing the Chaos to Integrability Transition in Double-Scaled SYK

hep-th · 2026-01-14 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A first-order phase transition in the Berkooz-Brukner-Jia-Mamroud interpolating model causes chord number, Krylov complexity, and operator size to switch discontinuously from chaotic (linear/exponential) to quasi-integrable (quadratic) growth.

De Sitter Horizon Edge Partition Functions

hep-th · 2025-01-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Edge partition functions for totally symmetric tensors in dS_{d+1} are decomposed under so(d), with the linearized gravity case receiving contributions from shift-symmetric fields on S^{d-1} suggesting an embedded brane interpretation.
