We evaluate the tunneling and Hartle-Hawking wave functions on S^1 x S^2 boundaries in Einstein gravity with a positive cosmological constant. In the large overall volume limit the classical predictions of both wave functions include an ensemble of Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes. We show that the Hartle-Hawking tree level measure on the classical ensemble converges in the small S^1 limit. A divergence in this regime can be identified in the tunneling state. However we trace this to the contribution of an unphysical branch of saddle points associated with negative mass black holes. Using a representation in which all saddle points have an interior Euclidean anti-de Sitter region we also generalise the holographic formulation of the semiclassical Hartle-Hawking wave function to S^1 x S^2 boundaries.

  1. Inflation and topology from the no-boundary state

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The no-boundary wavefunction on the 3-torus, summed over SL(3,Z) geometries using GL(3) automorphic forms, favors large inflating universes with N ≳ 250 e-folds and induces torus-moduli corrections to the CMB spectrum.

  2. M\"obius randomness in the Hartle-Hawking state

    hep-th 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The Hartle-Hawking state for toroidal quantum cosmologies is expressed in the Langlands decomposition as a sum over zeta zeros whose near-singularity dynamics follow the Hilbert-Pólya Hamiltonian and as a Möbius avera...

  3. Inflation and topology from the no-boundary state

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Switching to 3-torus topology and summing SL(3,Z) geometries via automorphic forms makes the no-boundary wavefunction favor large inflating universes with over 250 e-folds, plus CMB corrections from torus moduli.

  4. The Fate of Nucleated Black Holes in de Sitter Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Nucleated maximal-mass black holes in de Sitter space undergo thermal Hawking evaporation in smooth quantum states and return fully to the empty de Sitter vacuum.

  5. The Fate of Nucleated Black Holes in de Sitter Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Nucleated black holes in de Sitter space evaporate via standard Hawking radiation back to the empty vacuum, rendering nucleation a temporary fluctuation.
