Deformations of JT Gravity
ABSTRACT :
This seminar is a part of the activities of Center for Strings, Gravity and Cosmology and the Center for Quantum Information Theory of Matter and Spacetime of IIT Madras
In this talk we discuss the duality between JT gravity and the double-scaled matrix model including their respective deformations. This is achieved by relating the thermal partition function to the generating function of topological gravity correlators. We point out some consequences of our findings.
