A construction assigns pure states to subregions in quantum gravity via partially frozen path integrals and gives a holographic prescription for their entanglement entropy that satisfies consistency conditions and recovers known formulas.
The Euclidean path integral on elliptic de Sitter defines a no-boundary density matrix whose entropies reduce to vertex operator correlators on non-orientable surfaces, with a one-dimensional global Hilbert space but nontrivial observer Fock spaces.
Modular quantization of a single holographic CFT reproduces exact Hartle-Hawking correlators of smooth BTZ black holes in the semiclassical limit while yielding non-smooth stretched-horizon descriptions at finite GN.

No boundary density matrix in elliptic de Sitter dS/$\mathbb{Z}_2$
The Euclidean path integral on elliptic de Sitter defines a no-boundary density matrix whose entropies reduce to vertex operator correlators on non-orientable surfaces, with a one-dimensional global Hilbert space but nontrivial observer Fock spaces.

Modular quantization and black holes
Modular quantization of a single holographic CFT reproduces exact Hartle-Hawking correlators of smooth BTZ black holes in the semiclassical limit while yielding non-smooth stretched-horizon descriptions at finite GN.
