Title: Explorations of nonperturbative Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity and supergravity

Abstract

Some recently proposed definitions of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity and supergravities in terms of combinations of minimal string models are explored, with a focus on physics beyond the perturbative expansion in spacetime topology. While this formally involves solving infinite-order nonlinear differential equations, it is shown that the physics can be extracted to arbitrarily high accuracy in a simple controlled truncation scheme, using a combination of analytical and numerical methods. The nonperturbative spectral densities are explicitly computed and exhibited. The full spectral form factors, involving crucial nonperturbative contributions from wormhole geometries, are also computed and displayed, showing the nonperturbative details of the characteristic “slope,” “dip,” “ramp,” and “plateau” features. It is emphasized that results of this kind can most likely be readily extracted for other types of JT gravity using the same methods.
