Abstract
We investigate a dilaton gravity model in AdS2 proposed by Almheiri and Polchinski [1] and develop a 1d effective description in terms of a dynamical boundary time with a Schwarzian derivative action. We show that the effective model is equivalent to a 1d version of Liouville theory, and investigate its dynamics and symmetries via a standard canonical framework. We include the coupling to arbitrary conformal matter and analyze the effective action in the presence of possible sources. We compute commutators of local operators at large time separation, and match the result with the time shift due to a gravitational shockwave interaction. We study a black hole evaporation process and comment on the role of entropy in this model.

Supersymmetric localization of (higher-spin) JT gravity: a bulk perspective

TL;DR: In this article , a supersymmetric version of the Schwarzian theory was applied to the higher-spin generalization of the JT gravity, where auxiliary gauginos and scalars with suitable boundary conditions on the hemisphere were introduced.

Traversable wormholes in four dimensions

TL;DR: In this article , a wormhole solution in four dimensions is presented, which is a solution of an Einstein-Maxwell theory plus charged massless fermions, giving rise to a negative Casimir-like energy, which makes the wormhole possible.

Holographic boundary actions in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ revisited

TL;DR: In particular, the flat Liouville action is still off-shell with respect to bulk equations of motion, and simply vanishes in case the latter are imposed as discussed by the authors, and the Hamiltonian reduction of three-dimensional gravity to a flat-Liouville theory is unrelated.

Holographic Derivation of Entanglement Entropy from the anti de Sitter Space/Conformal Field Theory Correspondence

TL;DR: It is argued that the entanglement entropy in d + 1 dimensional conformal field theories can be obtained from the area of d dimensional minimal surfaces in AdS(d+2), analogous to the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for black hole entropy.

Remarks on the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model

Gapless spin-fluid ground state in a random quantum Heisenberg magnet.

TL;DR: The spin-S quantum Heisenberg magnet with Gaussian-random, infinite-range exchange interactions is examined with generalizing to SU(M) symmetry and studying the large M limit to find the spin-fluid phase to be generically gapless.
