Jackiw-Teitelboim Model Coupled to Conformal Matter in the Semi-Classical Limit

Understand

We analyse the Jackiw-Teitelboim model of 2D gravity coupled to $N$ massless free scalar fields in the semi-classical limit.

• Two systems are studied which essentially differ in the boundary conditions that are imposed.
• We find that the thermodynamics has interesting differences.
• We also analyse the response to additional infalling matter which satisfies the null energy condition.
