abstract
We propose a mechanism that couples matter fields to three-dimensional quantum gravity, which can be used for theories with a positive or negative cosmological constant. Our proposal is rooted in the Chern-Simons formulation of three-dimensional gravity and makes use of the Wilson spool, a collection of Wilson loops winding around closed paths of the background. We show that the Wilson spool correctly reproduces the one-loop determinant of a free massive scalar field on rotating black holes in AdS$_3$ and Euclidean dS$_3$ as $G_N\to 0$. Moreover, we describe how to incorporate quantum metric fluctuations into this formalism.

JT gravity on the worldline
Coupling a worldline observer to JT gravity replaces its evolution operator by an exactly computed average over fluctuating Euclidean times; the fluctuations are small in the disk but large on the double trumpet.

A spool for every quotient: One-loop partition functions in AdS$_3$ gravity
One-loop partition functions of massive spinning fields on any smooth cusp-free hyperbolic 3-manifold are expressed as Wilson spools, sums over free loops of holonomy traces in lowest-weight sl(2,R) representations.

Holographic reconstruction for AdS Wilson line networks and scalar Witten diagrams
Wilson line networks in AdS2 are reconstructed from boundary conformal blocks, and 3-point scalar Witten diagrams decompose into sums of such networks.

R\'enyi entropy of single-character CFTs on the torus
A Wronskian-based method gives explicit torus conformal blocks for the Z2 orbifold of E8,1, yielding a two-periodic twist two-point function and the second Rényi entropy with universal logarithmic divergence plus UV-f...
