We discuss a situation where a holographic CFT state has multiple semiclassical bulk duals. In our example, a given holographic state has two simple, semiclassical descriptions, one with a closed universe, constructed using the gravitational path integral, and one without a closed universe, constructed using the extrapolate dictionary. This highlights an ambiguity in the AdS/CFT dictionary. We propose various options for resolving this tension although none are perfectly satisfactory. We also discuss what this implies for the black hole interior and the gravitational path integral.

Elastic stiffness of three-dimensional black holes and wormholes from Liouville line defects
Shape and mass-density deformations of thin-shell AdS3 black holes and wormholes have stiffness kernels equal to two-point functions of defect-local displacement and mass-density operators, computed from linearized Li...

Observer complementarity for black holes and holography
The authors show that the observer rule of Harlow, Usatyuk, and Zhao yields a self-consistent black hole complementarity for both partially and fully evaporated black holes.

A Nonperturbative Toolkit for Quantum Gravity
A shell-state resolution of the identity, an infinite-overcompleteness limit, and geometric surgery are claimed to prove fine-grained factorization of the two-sided gravitational thermal partition function.

Further Evidence Against a Semiclassical Baby Universe in AdS/CFT
A bulk swap operator, reconstructed on the boundary, shows that the CFT state in the Antonini-Rath construction is dual to the spacetime without a semiclassical baby universe, forcing any encoded baby universe to have...

Baby Universes from Thermal Pure States in SYK
A JT-gravity baby universe is constructed with a microscopic dual given by a low-temperature thermal pure state of two coupled SYK models, and its bulk entanglement to the AdS region is O(N) below the phase transition.

Observing Spacetime
An asymptotic observer can check a proposed quantum gravity microstate with a probe tuned to the state's creating operator, because extra wormhole saddles make the response O(1) larger than any generic probe.

Quantum mechanics and observers for gravity in a closed universe
An observer inside a closed universe gets an approximately standard quantum description on a Hilbert space of dimension about e^{their entropy}, accurate up to exponentially small errors.

The Baby Universe is Fine and the CFT Knows It: On Holography for Closed Universes
A closed universe in AdS/CFT is not ruled out by recent SWAP-test arguments; the one-dimensional Hilbert space seen from the CFT is external indistinguishability, and CFT data can reconstruct the closed universe's geometry.

On tests for baby universes in AdS/CFT
With a post-selected holographic map for the baby universe, the Engelhardt-Gesteau swap test cannot distinguish the two candidate bulk duals.
