Abstract: ‘Recent works have proposed that pure gravity in $AdS_3$ may be understood as an ensemble average over approximate $\mathrm{CFT}_2$ data. We explore the spectral content of this idea by constructing a “Cardy random matrix theory”: an RMT whose only bootstrap input is coarse-grained $\mathbb{S}$-modular invariance. When we prescribe the vacuum to be the only state below the black-hole threshold, … Read More
