abstract
We construct two-dimensional supergravity theories endowed with a positive cosmological constant, that admit de Sitter vacua. We consider the cases of $\mathcal{N}=1$ as well as $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry, and couple the supergravity to a superconformal field theory with the same amount of supersymmetry. Upon fixing a supersymmetric extension of the Weyl gauge, the theories are captured, at the quantum level, by supersymmetric extensions of timelike Liouville theory with $\mathcal{N}=1$ and $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry respectively. The theories exhibit good ultraviolet properties and are amenable to a variety of techniques such as systematic loop expansions and, in the $\mathcal{N}=2$ case, supersymmetric localization. Our constructions offer a novel path toward a precise treatment of the Euclidean gravitational path integral for de Sitter, and in turn, the Gibbons-Hawking entropy of the de Sitter horizon. We argue that the supersymmetric localization method applied to the $\mathcal{N}=2$ theory must receive contributions from boundary terms in configuration space. We also discuss how these theories overcome several obstructions that appear upon combining de Sitter space with supersymmetry.

Toward the Structure Constants of $\mathcal{N}=2$ Liouville Theory
N=2 Liouville structure constants are proposed via mirror symmetry to the SL(2)_k/U(1) supercoset, with angular-momentum-violating sectors given explicitly and tested semiclassically to leading loop order.

A microscopic realization of dS$_3$
Pure dS3 quantum gravity is claimed to be dual to the complex Liouville string's matrix integral, with integrated cosmological correlators equal to resolvent correlators and de Sitter entropy equal to 2 log of the eig...

A discrete series gauge field at the late-time boundary of $dS_4$
Both Δ=1 and Δ=2 late-time Maxwell operators on planar dS4 furnish the photon unitary discrete series of SO(4,1), which splits into opposite-helicity summands via self-dual field-strength sectors.

Quantum Liouville Cosmology
Timelike Liouville disk path integrals in fixed K-representation produce Hartle-Hawking-like states, a conjecture for all-loop wavefunctions, and a K-independent inner product for 2D quantum cosmology.
