Description

An interesting deformation of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity has been proposed by Witten by adding a potential term U(ϕ) as a self-coupling of the scalar dilaton field. During calculating the path integral over fields, a constraint comes from integration over ϕ as R(x)+2=2αδ(xx). The resulting Euclidean metric suffered from a conical singularity at x=x. A possible geometry is modeled locally in polar coordinates (r,φ) by ds2=dr2+r2dφ2,φφ+2πα. In this letter we show that there exists another family of "exact" geometries for arbitrary values of the α. A pair of exact solutions are found for the case of α=0. One represents the static patch of the AdS and the other one is the non-static patch of the AdS metric. These solutions were used to construct the Green function for the inhomogeneous model with α0. We address a type of phase transition between different patches of the AdS in theory because of the discontinuity in the first derivative of the metric at x=x. We extended the study to the exact space of metrics satisfying the constraint R(x)+2=2i=1kαiδ(2)(xxi) as a modulus diffeomorphisms for an arbitrary set of deficit parameters (α1,α2,,αk). The space is the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus g with k conical singularities located at xk, denoted by Mg,k.
