abstract

We classify and study defects in 2d Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. We show these are holographically described by a deformation of the Schwarzian theory where the reparametrization mode is integrated over different coadjoint orbits of the Virasoro group. We show that the quantization of each coadjoint orbit is connected to 2d Liouville CFT between branes with insertions of Verlinde loop operators. We also propose an interpretation for the exceptional orbits. We use this perspective to solve these deformations of the Schwarzian theory, computing their partition function and correlators. In the process, we define two geometric observables: the horizon area operator $\Phi_h$ and the geodesic length operator $L(\gamma)$. We show this procedure is structurally related to the deformation of the particle-on-a-group quantum mechanics by the addition of a chemical potential. As an example, we solve the low-energy theory of complex SYK with a U(1) symmetry and generalize to the non-abelian case.

  1. An entropic puzzle in periodic dilaton gravity and DSSYK

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Gauging a momentum shift symmetry in sine dilaton gravity yields the DSSYK spectrum, makes negative-length states null, and predicts a finite entropy S=2πθ−2θ² instead of the Bekenstein-Hawking area law.

  2. Schwarzian quantum corrections to shear correlators of the near-extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om-AdS black hole

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Schwarzian quantum fluctuations raise the shear viscosity of near-extremal Reissner-Nordström-AdS4 black holes above s/4π by a positive O(1/(CT)^2) correction and are argued to lift the classical T=0 gapless shear mode.

  3. Twisted times, the Schwarzian and its deformations in DSSYK

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The soft modes of double-scaled SYK are reparametrizations of twisted time coordinates; their effective action is the nonlinear Schwarzian, and deformations yield multi-field Liouville theories with computable low-ene...

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A one-loop worldsheet computation on AdS3×S3×S3×S1 recovers the supergravity spectrum and boundary currents, yields a temperature-dependent BPS index for near-extremal BTZ black holes, and suggests non-unique worldshe...

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a thermal (canonical) ensemble, Schwarzian quantum-gravity corrections enhance the low-temperature decoherence rate of superpositions near near-extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes, while in a fixed-energy (micr...

  6. Sine-dilaton gravity vs double-scaled SYK: exploring one-loop quantum corrections

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The one-loop gravitational path integral of sine-dilaton gravity reproduces the one-loop corrections of double-scaled SYK for the free energy (up to an ordering ambiguity) and exactly for the matter two-point function.

    For JT gravity with conformal matter, the generalized entropy defined from the horizon dilaton plus matter entanglement is monotonic along the event horizon and along future Q-screens under the null energy condition, ...

  8. Warped Schwarzian theory

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A solvable low-energy effective theory based on the warped Virasoro group with three cocycles is constructed, and its one-loop-exact partition function and thermodynamics are derived.

    The bulk one-loop partition function of JT gravity reproduces the SYK result -3/2 log beta, with the logarithmic contribution coming entirely from quadratic holomorphic differentials.
