The dynamics of a nearly-AdS2 spacetime with boundaries is reduced to two particles in the anti-de Sitter space. We determine the class of physically meaningful wavefunctions, and prescribe the statistical mechanics of a black hole. We demonstrate how wavefunctions for a two-sided black hole and a regularized notion of trace can be used to construct thermal partition functions, and more generally, arbitrary density matrices. We also obtain correlation functions of external operators.

  1. q-Askey Deformations of Double-Scaled SYK

    hep-th 2026-05 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.
