Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity is a two dimensional dilaton gravity system, which describes near extremal black holes. Its partition functions correspond to surfaces with n Schwarzian boundaries and arbitrary numbers of handles. The goal of this talk will be to show how to compute these partition functions by using a correspondence between the sum of handles and the genus expansion of a certain matrix integral.
Junior Strings is a seminar series where DPhil students present topics of common interest that do not necessarily overlap with their own research area. This is primarily aimed at PhD students and post-docs but everyone is welcome.
