• Abstract: We study how to recover timelike worldlines in AdS from CFT data as a toy model for holographically reconstructing realistic observers. We give a bulk extremization procedure that determines composite timelike-spacelike geodesics that connect timelike-separated boundary points. The total geodesic length matches the length extracted from CFT correlators at the timelike-separated points. We show agreement in Poincaré AdS, for generic boundary points in global AdS, and also for the BTZ solution, in which the timelike segment probes behind the horizon. We refine related methods to compute timelike entanglement entropy in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ and recover known results.

  We use the recent connection between the high energy limit of the double-scaled SYK model and two-dimensional de Sitter solutions of sine dilaton gravity to identify the length of a family of geodesics spanned between future and past infinities with Krylov spread complexity.<n>This constitutes an explicit top-down microscopic realization of holographic complexity in a cosmological spacetime.

  Analytic continuations of holographic entanglement entropy in which the boundary subregion extends along a timelike direction have brought a promise of a novel, time-centric probe of spacetime.<n>We propose that the bulk carriers of this holographic timelike entanglement entropy are boundary-anchored extremal surfaces probing analytic continuation of holographic spacetimes into complex coordinates.

• Correlators of Worldline Proper Length [0.0]
  We show that derivatives of the on-shell action with respect to worldline mass compute correlation functions of worldline proper length at tree level. We calculate the length-length two-point function and find it arises from correlated path fluctuations. We extract AdS worldline observables from local CFT correlators as computed by Witten diagrams.

  Real-time monocular 3D reconstruction is a challenging problem that remains unsolved.

  Real-world tasks such as forecasting weather, electricity consumption, and stock market involve predicting data that vary over time. Time-series data are generally recorded over a long period of observation with long sequences owing to their periodic characteristics and long-range dependencies over time. We propose two novel modules, Grouped Self-Attention (GSA) and Compressed Cross-Attention (CCA) Our proposed model efficiently exhibited reduced computational complexity and performance comparable to or better than existing methods.
