Matrix models and deformations of JT gravity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Recently, it has been found that JT gravity, which is a two-dimensional theory with bulk action −frac12intmathrmd2xsqrtgphi(R+2), is dual to a matrix model, that is, a random ensemble of quantum systems rather than a specific quantum mechanical system. In this article, we argue that a deformation of JT gravity with bulk action −frac12intmathrmd2xsqrtg(phiR+W(phi)) is likewise dual to a matrix model. With a specific procedure for defining the path integral of the theory, we determine the density of eigenvalues of the dual matrix model. There is a simple answer if W(0)=0, and otherwise a rather complicated answer.
