abstract
We study the torus partition functions of free bosonic CFTs in two dimensions. Integrating over Narain moduli defines an ensemble-averaged free CFT. We calculate the averaged partition function and show that it can be reinterpreted as a sum over topologies in three dimensions. This result leads us to conjecture that an averaged free CFT in two dimensions is holographically dual to an exotic theory of three-dimensional gravity with $U(1)^c \times U(1)^c$ symmetry and a composite boundary graviton. Additionally, for small central charge $c$, we obtain general constraints on the spectral gap of free CFTs using the spinning modular bootstrap, construct examples of Narain compactifications with a large gap, and find an analytic bootstrap functional corresponding to a single self-dual boson.

On the $1/c$ expansion in $2d$ CFTs with degenerate operators
The all-order 1/c expansion of Virasoro blocks for degenerate operators is Borel resummable except across Stokes lines, and the resurgent analysis reconstructs the full correlator and resolves forbidden singularities.

QG from SymQRG: AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ Correspondence as Topological Symmetry-Preserving Quantum RG Flow
A framework called SymQRG identifies 3D quantum gravity as the symmetry-preserving RG flow of 2D CFTs, realized discretely by U_q(SL(2,R)) 6j symbols.

A single geometry from an all-genus expansion in quantum gravity
The all-genus JT gravity path integral at beta ~ e^{2S0/3} is reproduced at leading order by a disk path integral with a cubic, nonlocal dilaton interaction.

Holographic RG flows and wormholes from sinusoidal scalars
For d=3, Δ=2 Einstein-scalar gravity with sinusoidal sources on two R^3 boundaries, the large wormhole dominates the path integral whenever wormholes exist, and there is no Hawking-Page-like subdominant regime.

Statistics in 3d gravity from knots and links
Fragmentation of knots and links by Wilson lines builds wormhole amplitudes that give non-perturbative Gaussian and non-Gaussian corrections to OPE statistics in 3d gravity and CFT2.

Triangulating quantum gravity in AdS$_3$
The fixed-angle gravitational path integral in AdS3 equals a Conformal Turaev-Viro partition function, the fixed-length path integral equals a Virasoro TQFT amplitude squared, and the semiclassical geometries are buil...

Half-Wormholes in a Supersymmetric SYK Model
Half-wormholes restore factorization in the one-time-point N=1 supersymmetric SYK model, and both wormholes and half-wormholes break supersymmetry.
