Eigenbranes in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity

Abstract It was proven recently that JT gravity can be defined as an ensemble of L × L Hermitian matrices. We point out that the eigenvalues of the matrix correspond in JT gravity to FZZT-type boundaries on which spacetimes can end. We then investigate an ensemble of matrices with 1 ≪ N ≪ L eigenval...
