Abstract We study simple examples of ensemble-averaged holography in free compact boson CFTs with rational values of the radius squared. These well-known rational CFTs have an extended chiral algebra generated by three currents. We consider the modular average of the vacuum character in these theories, which results in a weighted average over all modular invariants. In the simplest case, when the chiral algebra is primitive (in a sense we explain), the weights in this ensemble average are all…

Baby universes, ensemble averages and factorizations with matters
We investigate 2D topological gravity theories with matter fields turned on. We compute correlators of boundary creation operators with extra matter insertions. We provide a systematic procedure to…

We study the spectral statistics of primary operators in the recently formulated ensemble average of Narain’s family of free boson conformal field theories, which provides an explicit (though exotic)…
Comments on the holographic description of Narain theories
TLDR
The hypothesis that in the large central charge limit the density of states of any Narain theory is bounded by below by the densityof states of U(1) gravity is formed, which implies that the maximal value of the spectral gap for primary fields is ∆1 = c/(2πe).
Poincaré series, 3d gravity and averages of rational CFT
Abstract: We investigate the Poincaré series approach to computing 3d gravity partition functions dual to Rational CFT. For a single genus-1 boundary, we show that for certain infinite sets of…
