abstract

We quantize JT gravity with matter on the spatial interval with two asymptotically AdS boundaries. We consider the von Neumann algebra generated by the right Hamiltonian and the gravitationally dressed matter operators on the right boundary. We prove that the commutant of this algebra is the analogously defined left boundary algebra and that both algebras are type II$_\infty$ factors. These algebras provide a precise notion of the entanglement wedge away from the semiclassical limit. We comment on how the factorization problem differs between pure JT gravity and JT gravity with matter.

  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. Uniqueness of null-local modular flow

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For the free massless scalar in a Minkowski causal diamond, the vacuum is the unique state or weight in the vacuum sector whose modular flow is local on the null boundary.

  3. A de Sitter Anti-Scrambling Algebra

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In a toy model of de Sitter quantum gravity, shockwave time advances break the KMS condition and prevent the Hartle-Hawking state from being a trace on the observer's crossed-product algebra.

  4. Chaos and the Emergence of the Cosmological Horizon

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Finite-mass observers in dS2 have non-commuting type I algebras, and their OTOC shows a Lyapunov exponent 4π/β_dS, twice the de Sitter bound.

  5. Crossed products and quantum reference frames: on the observer-dependence of gravitational entropy

    hep-th 2024-12 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gravitational subregion entropy is observer-dependent: different quantum clocks produce different von Neumann algebras and different entropy functionals for the same global state.

  6. Operator K-complexity in DSSYK: Krylov complexity equals bulk length

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the semiclassical limit of double-scaled SYK, Krylov complexity of an operator insertion equals total chord number, i.e., bulk wormhole length.

  7. Linearization (in)stabilities and crossed products

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Second-order Taub charge constraints are justified as linearization stability conditions in spatially closed spacetimes, while in boundary or no-isometry cases the justification is weaker and depends on interest in se...
