AdS₃ Pure Gravity and Stringy Unitarity
read the original abstract
We construct a unitary, modular-invariant torus partition function of a two-dimensional conformal field theory with a Virasoro primary spectral gap of $\Delta_* = \frac{c-1}{12}$ above the vacuum. The twist gap is identical, apart from two states $\mathcal{O}_*$ with spin scaling linearly in the central charge $c$. These states admit an AdS$_3$ interpretation as strongly coupled strings. All other states are black hole microstates.

A solvable model of 3d quantum gravity
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 ...

Mind the crosscap: $\tau$-scaling in non-orientable gravity and time-reversal-invariant systems
Non-orientable topological gravity produces a resummed topological expansion whose late-time behavior matches the GOE universality class of random matrix theory for time-reversal invariant chaotic systems.

Wormholes as red herrings: reflection positivity and the reconstruction of unitary quantum field theories
Unitary QFTs are determined up to unitary isomorphism by closed-manifold partition functions; every reflection-positive partition function comes from a unitary QFT, so spatial wormholes do not break Hilbert-space fact...

What's the Matter with 3D Gravity?
Using worldline formalism and geometric quantization, the partition function for 3D gravity with matter on thermal AdS3 is computed via equivariant localization, reproducing the Wilson spool and conjecturing the all-o...

Spinning States and Unitarity in 3D Gravity
Spinning states scaled with central charge cancel negative densities in 3D gravity, reinterpreted as bulk defects or overspinning BTZ quotients of AdS3 that preserve the gap but exhibit causal pathologies.
