These lectures present an elementary discussion of some background material relevant to the problem of de Sitter quantum gravity. The first two lectures discuss the classical geometry of de Sitter space and properties of quantum field theory on de Sitter space, especially the temperature and entropy of de Sitter space. The final lecture contains a pedagogical discussion of the appearance of the conformal group as an asymptotic symmetry group, which is central to the dS/CFT correspondence. A (previously lacking) derivation of asymptotically de Sitter boundary conditions is also given.

  1. Ising the way into de Sitter

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The two-dimensional thermal Ising model on de Sitter provides exact cosmological correlators that stay finite at late times, with perturbative secular logarithms resummed into principal-series oscillations.

  2. Fermionic Bubble Loop in Cosmological Collider Revisited: Exact signals from spectral and Mellin-Barnes methods

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Exact fermionic bubble loop signals in cosmological collider physics are obtained via spectral and Mellin-Barnes methods, with the Yukawa bispectrum vanishing identically due to field redefinition.

  3. Cosmological pole-skipping, shock waves and quantum chaotic dynamics of de Sitter horizons

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pole-skipping in Schwarzschild-de Sitter predicts superluminal and imaginary butterfly velocities, confirmed by shock wave analysis, hinting at nonlocal and non-Hermitian dual dynamics.

  4. Confronting infrared divergences in de Sitter: loops, logarithms and the stochastic formalism

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors show that loop corrections do not alter tree-level time dependence in de Sitter correlators, so secular growth is a regularization artifact, not a physical effect.

  5. Holographic timelike complexity for de Sitter

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Timelike subregion volume complexity in de Sitter grows exponentially early and diverges hyperfast at a maximal duration; near the SdS black hole horizon the divergence is replaced by slower, claimed-nonlinear growth.

  6. Exact and Finite de Sitter QFT from CFT

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Constructs exact finite de Sitter QFT from CFT data using moduli space of oriented balls and Casimir completion of operators.

  7. Topolons: Stable Particle-Like Remnants of Collapsed Vacuum Bubbles

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Vacuum bubbles carrying quantized monopole flux on their walls collapse to stable particle-like remnants whose mass is fixed by the wall scale and conserved flux.

  8. Cosmological brick walls & quantum chaotic dynamics of de Sitter horizons

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Brick-wall spectra in de Sitter space show long-range chaotic signatures via spectral form factor and Krylov complexity even when conventional level repulsion is absent.

    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...

  10. Networks as the fundamental constituents of the universe

    The Euclidean path integral on elliptic de Sitter defines a no-boundary density matrix whose entropies reduce to vertex operator correlators on non-orientable surfaces, with a one-dimensional global Hilbert space but ...

  12. Gibbons-Hawking Entropy and BMN Strings

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A proposed universal finite entropy bound for quantum gravity is introduced and linked to the Gibbons-Hawking entropy of our universe, with BMN strings suggested as an unresolved test.

  13. The Quantum Mechanics of Rare Events: From Quantum Walks to Stochastic Inflation

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Rare fluctuations in quantum walks are ruled by a measurement-induced relative entropy, and applying this to stochastic inflation yields a steady state that violates detailed balance.

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Renormalized holographic pseudoentropy in dS/CFT is constructed from conformal-gravity actions in four and six dimensions, yielding finite sphere values and Mezei-like shape dependence for small deformations.

  15. The thermal backreaction of a scalar field in de Sitter spacetime. II. Spectrum enhancement and holography

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Thermal backreaction modifies de Sitter geometry so that late-exiting modes produce a blue-tilted spectrum n_S ~ 2 while the boundary theory matches the 3d Sp(N) model flow.

    Compares two methods to resolve disagreements and prove positivity of anomalous dimensions for principal series fields coupled to compact scalar operators in de Sitter space.
