abstract

We study the self-energy of a gravitating point particle in AdS$_3$, and compare to operator dimensions in CFT$_2$. In particular, we compute the one and two loop diagram contributions to the expectation value of an open Wilson line in the SL(2,R)$\times$ SL(2,R) Chern-Simons formulation of AdS$_3$ gravity. This gives the two-point function of CFT primary operators to second order in a large $c$ expansion, and hence yields the scaling dimension $h(j,c)$ as a function of the SL(2,R) spin $j$. Comparison to CFT is made in the context of constructing Virasoro representations starting from representations of SL(2,R) current algebra. Our Wilson line computations follow the framework advanced recently by Fitzpatrick et. al., which is based on earlier work by H. Verlinde. We encounter some renormalization scheme ambiguities at the two-loop level which we are not able to fully resolve, hampering a definitive comparison with CFT expressions at this order.

    The entropy of a Schwarzschild-de Sitter universe with an observer matches the spectral entropy of double-scaled SYK once the coupling is set to 8πG_N, explaining the model's two temperatures.
