Matter correlators through a wormhole in double-scaled SYK

Abstract

Abstract We compute the two-point function of matter operators in the double-scaled SYK (DSSYK) model, where the two matter operators are inserted at each end of the cylindrical wormhole. We find that the wormhole amplitude in DSSYK is written as a trace over the chord Hilbert space. We also show that the length of the wormhole is stabilized in the semi-classical limit, by the same mechanism worked for the JT gravity case.
