Winter is here and so the holidays and breaks. Here, I include few papers that might be interested to you to read in this winter break. In no specific order. Theme- Random Matrices and JT gravity.
- JT gravity as a matrix integral by Phil Saad, Stephen Shenker and Douglas Stanford - https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.11115.
- Nonperturbative Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity by Clifford V. Johnson and his other papers on this subject as well- https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.03637.
- Lower dimensional gravity by Roman Jackiw- https://doi.org/10.1016/0550-3213(85)90448-1.
- Gravitation and hamiltonian structure in two spacetime dimensions by Claudio Teitelboim- https://doi.org/10.1016/0370-2693(83)90012-6.
- Comments on the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model by Juan Maldacena, Douglas Stanford- https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.07818.

Some bonus recommendations ;)
- Newly appeared paper by Ed Witten on Quantum field theory in curved spacetime (https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.11614). There are also lectured by him on the same on Youtube.
- Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.
