Journal ArticleDOI

An investigation of AdS2 backreaction and holography

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate a dilaton gravity model in AdS2 and develop a 1d effective description in terms of a dynamical boundary time with a Schwarzian derivative action.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Investigation of AdS$_2$ Backreaction and Holography

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate a dilaton gravity model in AdS$_2$ and develop a 1d effective description in terms of a dynamical boundary time with a Schwarzian derivative action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solving the Schwarzian via the conformal bootstrap

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived exact expressions for a general class of correlation functions in the 1D quantum mechanical model described by the Schwarzian action, that arises as the low energy limit of the SYK model.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Schwarzian Theory - Origins

TL;DR: In this article, a path-integral derivation of the structural link between 2D Liouville theory and 1d Schwarzian theory is provided. But the link between the two theories is not discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shockwave S-matrix from Schwarzian Quantum Mechanics

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the semi-classical limit of the OTO four-point function exactly matches with the scattering amplitude obtained from the Dray-t Hooft shockwave.
