In recent work we computed the path integral of three-dimensional gravity with negative cosmological constant on spaces which are topologically a torus times an interval. Here we employ a modular bootstrap to show that the amplitude is completely fixed by consistency conditions and a few basic inputs from gravity. This bootstrap is notably for an ensemble of CFTs, rather than for a single instance. We also compare the 3d gravity result with the Narain ensemble. The former is well-approximated at low temperature by a random matrix theory ansatz, and we conjecture that this behavior is generic for an ensemble of CFTs at large central charge with a chaotic spectrum of heavy operators.

    A solvable 3d quantum gravity model is defined by summing Virasoro TQFT copies over all topologies, shown to be dual to a 2d CFT ensemble and to exhibit semiclassical features such as cured negative density of states ...

    Near-extremal BTZ and warped BTZ in TMG receive log-T corrections from Schwarzian and rotational zero modes whose full-geometry eigenvalues match the throat after non-normalizable eigenfunction corrections and BC spec...

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Finite-N non-planar mixing in the D1D5 CFT produces level repulsion and random-matrix statistics in symmetry-resolved sectors, while the planar large-N limit yields Poisson statistics.
