Advances in 2D Holography: JT Gravity and Matrix Integrals - Lecture 4

Explore the fourth lecture in a five-part course on advances in 2D holography, focusing on JT gravity and matrix integrals beyond perturbative corrections. Delve into the quantum effects in the gravitational path integral and their impact on our understanding of black hole behavior near extremality. Examine how the modes of JT gravity lead to significant corrections in black hole entropy. Investigate JT gravity as a toy model of holography and its relationship with matrix integrals. Learn how this model addresses various versions of the black hole information paradox. Gain insights from Stanford University researcher Luca Iliesiu in this comprehensive 2-hour lecture, part of a series covering black hole thermodynamics, near-extremal black holes, perturbative corrections, and solutions to the black hole information paradox.
