3D N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supergravity from Virasoro TQFT: gravitational partition function and Out-of-time-order correlator

Abstract In this paper, we compute the partition functions of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 SUGRA for different boundary topologies, i.e. punctured sphere and torus, using super-Virasoro TQFT. We use fusion and modular kernels of the super-Liouville theory to compute the necklace-channel conformal block a...

Description
Summary:Abstract In this paper, we compute the partition functions of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 SUGRA for different boundary topologies, i.e. punctured sphere and torus, using super-Virasoro TQFT. We use fusion and modular kernels of the super-Liouville theory to compute the necklace-channel conformal block and showcase formalism by proving that the inner product holds for superconformal blocks, defined as states in the Hilbert space. Finally, we compute the out-of-time-order correlator for the torus topology with superconformal primary insertions as matter using the tools of super-Virasoro TQFT and investigate its early-time behaviour.
