We review what is known about boundary conditions in General Relativity on a spacetime of Euclidean signature. The obvious Dirichlet boundary condition, in which one specifies the boundary geometry, is actually not elliptic and in general does not lead to a well-defined perturbation theory. It is better-behaved if the extrinsic curvature of the boundary is suitably constrained, for instance if it is positive- or negative-definite. A different boundary condition, in which one specifies the conformal geometry of the boundary and the trace of the extrinsic curvature, is elliptic and always leads formally to a satisfactory perturbation theory. These facts might have interesting implications for semiclassical approaches to quantum gravity. (Submitted to a volume in honor of Roman Jackiw.)

Holographic Tests of the $\mu$ Ensemble
Fixed-μ ensemble computations in 11d supergravity reproduce ABJM partition functions (squashed S³, SCI, TTI) as Airy functions via a Laplace transform whose measure is fixed by bulk zero-mode counting.

Ill-posedness of the Cauchy problem for linearized gravity in a cavity with conformal boundary conditions
Linearized gravity in a cavity with conformal boundary conditions is ill-posed: a sequence of smooth perturbations with vanishing initial data grows without bound at every positive time.

York time in JT gravity
In JT gravity, the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction satisfies a Schrodinger equation in York time with a Hermitian squeezing Hamiltonian, and York time evolution is a unitary change of the length basis rather than physical...

Holographic entanglement entropy with conformal boundary conditions
In AdS3 with conformal boundary conditions, holographic entanglement entropy is still the minimal-surface area over 4G_N, and the dual Liouville plus T Tbar theory gives entropy governed by the effective central charge c_eff.

Fluid Boundary Conditions from AdS/BCFT
In AdS/BCFT, the metric boundary condition on the end-of-the-world brane determines the fluid boundary condition: Neumann gives no-penetration plus Neumann conditions on velocity and temperature, and Dirichlet gives no-slip.

Quantum stress-energy at timelike boundaries: testing a new beyond-$\Lambda$CDM parameter with cosmological data
Timelike boundaries sourcing negative, 1/a-scaling vacuum energy fit CMB+BAO data slightly better than LCDM and relax the neutrino-mass constraint, though the preference is only about 2 sigma.

Quasinormal Modes and the Switchback Effect in Schwarzschild-de Sitter
The paper derives eikonal quasinormal mode frequencies and shock-wave switchback delays in Schwarzschild-de Sitter for arbitrary mass, using static-sphere observers and reflecting boundary conditions.

Gravitational Observatories in AdS$_4$
With conformal boundary conditions in AdS4, linearized gravity has a new boundary Weyl mode; for a spherical boundary the mode has complex frequencies (exponential growth) at large angular momentum, while for a planar...
