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.
