abstract

We introduce a family of partially entangled thermal states in the SYK model that interpolates between the thermo-field double state and a pure (product) state. The states are prepared by a euclidean path integral describing the evolution over two euclidean time segments separated by a local scaling operator $\mathcal{O}$. We argue that the holographic dual of this class of states consists of two black holes with their interior regions connected via a domain wall, described by the worldline of a massive particle. We compute the size of the interior region and the entanglement entropy as a function of the scale dimension of $\mathcal{O}$ and the temperature of each black hole. We argue that the one-sided bulk reconstruction can access the interior region of the black hole.

q-Askey Deformations of Double-Scaled SYK

hep-th · 2026-05-13 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

q-Askey deformations of double-scaled SYK yield transfer matrices for orthogonal polynomials whose semiclassical chord dynamics map to ER bridges and new geometric transitions in sine dilaton gravity.

Menagerie of Euclidean constructions for 3D holographic cosmologies

hep-th · 2026-01-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Generalized Euclidean wormhole constructions in 3D gravity produce holographic duals to approximately homogeneous closed baby-universe cosmologies and identify a necessary condition for the cosmological saddle to dominate the path integral.

State counting in gravity and maximal entropy principle

hep-th · 2026-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy state counting and the Page curve for Hawking radiation entanglement entropy are equivalent from the gravity path integral viewpoint via a convex optimization problem for von Neumann entropy.
