abstract
In this note we study the $1+1$ dimensional Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity in Lorentzian signature, explicitly constructing the gauge-invariant classical phase space and the quantum Hilbert space and Hamiltonian. We also semiclassically compute the Hartle-Hawking wave function in two different bases of this Hilbert space. We then use these results to illustrate the gravitational version of the factorization problem of AdS/CFT: the Hilbert space of the two-boundary system tensor-factorizes on the CFT side, which appears to be in tension with the existence of gauge constraints in the bulk. In this model the tension is acute: we argue that JT gravity is a sensible quantum theory, based on a well-defined Lorentzian bulk path integral, which has no CFT dual. In bulk language, it has wormholes but it does not have black hole microstates. It does however give some hint as to what could be added to to rectify these issues, and we give an example of how this works using the SYK model. Finally we suggest that similar comments should apply to pure Einstein gravity in $2+1$ dimensions, which we'd then conclude also cannot have a CFT dual, consistent with the results of Maloney and Witten.

Comments on holographic spread complexity
The momentum–spread-complexity relation requires generalized coherent states adapted to the spacetime symmetry algebra; semiclassical spreading alone cannot produce a momentum–complexity correspondence.

Evaporating Black Hole Interior and Complexity Evolution
In JT gravity with an end-of-the-world brane, the renormalized interior length — read as subsystem complexity — grows linearly, peaks around the Page time, and then decays exponentially, with growing relative fluctuat...

Hollow-grams: Generalized Entanglement Wedges from the Gravitational Path Integral
The entropy of a bulk region in holographic states equals the generalized entropy of the smallest wedge containing it, derived from a replica path integral via a hollow-graphic construction.

Falling through the horizon of a quantum black hole
Gravitational dressing in JT gravity lets an infalling Unruh-DeWitt detector detect the horizon location and temperature locally, violating the equivalence principle without a firewall.

Non-perturbative saturation of Krylov complexity, and its implications in quantum gravity
Full-spectrum Krylov complexity provably saturates at ~e^{S(E)} log(1/λ) in every low-energy state — near the energy-dependent Heisenberg time, not the maximal e^{S_max} — because discrete-spectrum orthogonal polynomi...

Resolving Black Hole Singularities in Jackiw-Teitelboim Gravity
In JT gravity, the left confining potential required by spectral discreteness makes the wormhole length turn around and plateau, allowing boundary time to run past the would-be singularity and eliminating future horizons.

In double-scaled complex SYK, grand-canonical Krylov complexity is the charge-weighted sum of canonical complexities, saturating a conjectured inequality.

Holography of K-complexity: Switchbacks and Shockwaves
Operator Krylov complexity in triple-scaled DSSYK matches JT-gravity geodesic lengths with shockwaves and exhibits the switchback effect when the Lanczos algorithm is perturbed by two-sided operator insertions.

Entanglement Entropy of Quantum Corners
For a two-dimensional corner symmetry algebra, coherent corner states give an entanglement entropy that scales with the area when mapped to near-extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes.

JT gravity and deformed CFTs
Deformed CFTs on a strip with a stretched-horizon conformal boundary are proposed as UV completions of pure and matter-coupled JT gravity, reproducing its entropy and a Page-curve-like saturation.
