We classify the possible boundary conditions in JT gravity and discuss their exact quantization. Each boundary condition that we study will reveal new features in JT gravity related to its matrix integral interpretation, its factorization properties and ensemble averaging interpretation, the definition of the theory at finite cutoff, its relation to the physics of near-extremal black holes and, finally, its role as a two-dimensional model of cosmology.

  1. Quantum JT Gravity in a box as a P\"oschl-Teller Scattering Problem

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    JT gravity in a box is quantized exactly by recasting its dynamics as Pöschl-Teller scattering, producing closed-form wavefunctions and correlators with finite-cutoff corrections beyond T Tbar.

  2. Anti-scrambling and euclidean folds from observer correlators in de Sitter space

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Semiclassical gravity in de Sitter space produces four-point observer correlators whose sign of the scrambling correction is opposite to the black-hole case (anti-scrambling); the authors propose bounded-energy quantu...

  3. Anti-scrambling and euclidean folds from observer correlators in de Sitter space

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Observer correlators in de Sitter exhibit anti-scrambling with a positive OTOC correction and 2π/β Lyapunov exponent, and a Euclidean-folding prescription for bounded-energy quantum systems is proposed.

  4. JT gravity on the worldline

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  5. A Tale of Two Hartle-Hawking Wave Functions: Fully Gravitational vs Partially Frozen

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In AdS the fully gravitational Hartle-Hawking wave function acquires a nontrivial one-loop phase while the partially frozen version stays real and positive; a partially frozen de Sitter sphere shows phase cancellation.

  6. Open-Channel Operator Closure of the Finite-Cutoff JT Gravity Disk Amplitude

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The finite-cutoff JT gravity disk amplitude is reproduced via open-channel operators as a boundary-state matrix element, with the geodesic sector shown to be bandlimited and the branch-difference amplitude not equival...

  7. Living on the edge: a non-perturbative resolution to the negativity of bulk entropies

    hep-th 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Summing non-perturbative contributions in the gravitational path integral, extended via matrix integral saddles including one- and two-eigenvalue instantons, resolves negativity of bulk entropies in two-sided black holes.

  8. Symmetry TFTs for Continuous Spacetime Symmetries

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Continuous spacetime symmetries can be encoded in a (d+1)-dimensional BF/Chern-Simons topological field theory, whose boundary reproduces symmetry generators, symmetry breaking, and anomalies.

  9. Inner Horizon Saddles and a Spectral KSW Criterion

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Inner horizon saddles supply the semiclassical correction -exp(A_inner/4G) to near-extremal black-hole entropy and motivate a spectral KSW criterion for well-defined one-loop effects around complex gravitational saddles.

  10. Deforming the Double-Scaled SYK & Reaching the Stretched Horizon From Finite Cutoff Holography

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Deformations of the double-scaled SYK model via finite-cutoff holography produce Krylov complexity as wormhole length and realize Susskind's stretched horizon proposal through targeted T² deformations in the high-ener...

  11. Single-Sided Black Holes in Double-Scaled SYK Model and No Man's Island

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the double-scaled SYK model with an end-of-the-world brane, the boundary algebra for a single-sided black hole is a type II1 von Neumann factor with non-trivial commutant, preventing full bulk reconstruction and cr...
