Abstract: We evaluate the partition function of three dimensional general relativity with a negative cosmological constant, including all known perturbative and non-perturbative contributions to the sum over geometries.

Abstract: We compute the partition function of quantum Einstein gravity in three dimensional de Sitter space. The Euclidean path integral is formulated as a sum over geometries, including both perturbative loop and non-perturbative instanton corrections coming from geometries with non-trivial topology. These ... read more

Speaker(s): Alexander Maloney

Abstract: We describe recent progress on the quantum description of the Kerr black hole. Previous descriptions of black hole microstates have relied on the existence of near-horizon regions with conformal symmetry, and hence have only worked for extremal or supersymmetric black holes. We argue that the states... read more
