We study some aspects of the de Sitter version of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. Though we do not have propagating gravitons, we have a boundary mode when we compute observables with a fixed dilaton and metric at the boundary. We compute the no-boundary wavefunctions and probability measures to all orders in perturbation theory. We also discuss contributions from different topologies, borrowing recent results by Saad, Shenker and Stanford. We discuss how the boundary mode leads to gravitational corrections to cosmological observables when we add matter. Finally, starting from a four dimensional gravity theory with a positive cosmological constant, we consider a nearly extremal black hole and argue that some observables are dominated by the two dimensional nearly de Sitter gravity dynamics.

  2. Quantum JT Gravity in a box as a P\"oschl-Teller Scattering Problem

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    JT gravity in a box is quantized exactly by recasting its dynamics as Pöschl-Teller scattering, producing closed-form wavefunctions and correlators with finite-cutoff corrections beyond T Tbar.

  3. JT gravity on the worldline

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Coupling a worldline observer to JT gravity replaces its evolution operator by an exactly computed average over fluctuating Euclidean times; the fluctuations are small in the disk but large on the double trumpet.

  4. A de Sitter Anti-Scrambling Algebra

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In a toy model of de Sitter quantum gravity, shockwave time advances break the KMS condition and prevent the Hartle-Hawking state from being a trace on the observer's crossed-product algebra.

  5. A Tale of Two Hartle-Hawking Wave Functions: Fully Gravitational vs Partially Frozen

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In AdS the fully gravitational Hartle-Hawking wave function acquires a nontrivial one-loop phase while the partially frozen version stays real and positive; a partially frozen de Sitter sphere shows phase cancellation.

  6. Generalized Free Fields in de Sitter from 1D CFT

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pairs of large-N 1D CFTs encode generalized free fields on a timelike geodesic in de Sitter space via large-N factorization, 1D conformal symmetry, and split representations of dS Green functions.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The one-loop partition function for non-relativistic de Sitter gravity yields a T² prefactor consistent with four symmetry generators, and the bulk admits a torsionless Newton-Cartan geometry satisfying the non-relati...

  8. Ordering-Independent Wheeler-DeWitt Equation for Flat Minisuperspace Models

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Path-integral measures determine operator orderings for the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in flat minisuperspace models, with all consistent choices yielding identical physical observables via field redefinition Jacobians.

  9. Limits on the Statistical Description of Charged de Sitter Black Holes

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For charged de Sitter black holes, choosing the Bousso-Hawking observer normalization keeps the heat capacity finite in the Nariai limit, removing the expected log-T breakdown except in the cold and ultracold limits.

  10. Cosmological pole-skipping, shock waves and quantum chaotic dynamics of de Sitter horizons

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pole-skipping in Schwarzschild-de Sitter predicts superluminal and imaginary butterfly velocities, confirmed by shock wave analysis, hinting at nonlocal and non-Hermitian dual dynamics.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In global dS2 the fundamental complement of a finite union of arcs is empty unless some complementary gap has length at least π; a commutant-based algebra model reproduces this and exhibits a discontinuous 'activation...

  13. AdS Black Holes Are Short-Lived inside the Spectral Form Factor

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For holographic CFTs on a sphere, the large AdS black hole saddle of the spectral form factor loses dominance at t=O(β) and disconnects from the integration cycle, curing the d≡5 (mod 4) divergence.

  14. The Fate of Nucleated Black Holes in de Sitter Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Nucleated maximal-mass black holes in de Sitter space undergo thermal Hawking evaporation in smooth quantum states and return fully to the empty de Sitter vacuum.

  15. Tests of restricted Quantum Focusing and a new CFT bound

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    From rQFC, a new CFT bound follows that forbids the QNEC from saturating faster than O(Σ^{d−2}) in near-vacuum states, while rQFC is proven in JT gravity and explicit QFC counterexamples are constructed.

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Complex AdS-Schwarzschild saddles that naively dominate low-temperature holographic partition functions are argued, in a mini-superspace model, not to contribute, preserving thermal AdS as the correct saddle.

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Adopting the Bousso-Hawking observer normalization for RNdS black holes produces finite heat capacity near the Nariai limit while confirming vanishing capacity in cold and ultracold limits, limiting statistical descriptions.

  23. Junctions, strings, clocks and gravitational memory in three dimensional dS space

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Transient closed-string fluctuations in dS3 are shown order by order to be encoded in gravitational junction shifts at I±, with the monotonic time shift forming an emergent clock.

  24. A Dynamical Systems Framework for Reinforcement Learning Safety and Robustness Verification

    cs.AI 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    The claimed RL safety verification framework is absent from the manuscript; the body text is an unrelated high-energy physics paper about de Sitter horizon chaos.
