Using two timelike boundaries and a nearly maximally entangled thermofield double state from dressed de Sitter Hamiltonian theories, the authors construct wavefunctions for extended cosmological spacetimes that include the future wedge and resolve entanglement entropy issues via 3D constrained path
A Lorentzian path integral contour for charged AdS black holes selects a finite subset of complex saddles via Picard-Lefschetz theory, ensuring the semiclassical sum converges at finite β.
