We introduce a simple microscopic quantum mechanical model of low-dimensional de Sitter holography with an observer. Using semiclassical gravity and elementary thermodynamic considerations, we derive a formula for the total entropy of a 3D Schwarzschild-de Sitter universe with an observer. We then match this entropy formula with the exactly known spectral density of the double scaled SYK model. Our result gives a de Sitter interpretation of the appearance of two notions of temperature in DSSYK.

  1. 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...

  2. 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.

  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.

    Ultracold Reissner-Nordström de Sitter black hole fluctuations are proposed to be described by a gauged near-flat dilaton gravity model with a Gaussian spectral density, yielding a finite partition function and dynami...

  5. Probing the singularity at the holographic screen via $q$-holography

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The probe-regime two-point function of sinh dilaton gravity matches the q-deformed Ward identity correlator, indicating an emergent quantum hyperbolic disk with SLq(2) isometry near the holographic boundary.
