de Sitter entropy from conformal field theory

چکیده
We propose that the entropy of de Sitter space can be identified with the mutual entropy of a dual conformal field theory. We argue that unitary time evolution in de Sitter space restricts the total number of excited degrees of freedom to be bounded by the de Sitter entropy, and we give a CFT interpretation of this restriction. We also clarify issues arising from the fact that both de Sitter and anti de Sitter have dual descriptions in terms of conformal field theory.

Two - dimensional dS / CFT correspondence
We investigate de Sitter/conformal field theory (dS/CFT) correspondence in two dimensions. We define the conserved mass of de Sitter spacetime and formulate the correspondence along the lines of anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory duality. Asymptotic symmetry group, mass, and central charge of de Sitter spacetime are equal to those of anti-de Sitter spacetime. The entropy of two-dimensional d...
متن کاملNear-Horizon Virasoro Symmetry and the Entropy of de Sitter Space in Any Dimension
De Sitter spacetime is known to have a cosmological horizon that enjoys thermodynamic-like properties similar to those of a black hole horizon. In this note we show that a universal argument can be given for the entropy of de Sitter spacetime in arbitrary dimensions, by generalizing a recent near horizon symmetry plus conformal field theory argument of Carlip for black hole entropy. The implica...

In this paper we show that the entropy of a cosmological horizon in topological Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter and Kerr-Newman-de Sitter spaces can be described by the Cardy-Verlinde formula, which is supposed to be an entropy formula of conformal field theory in any number of dimension. Furthermore, we find that the entropy of a black hole horizon can also be rewritten in terms of the Cardy-Verl...
متن کاملSe p 19 98 Nut Charge , Anti - de Sitter Space and Entropy
It has been proposed that spacetimes with a U(1) isometry group have contributions to the entropy from Misner strings as well as from the area of d−2 dimensional fixed point sets. In this paper we test this proposal by constructing Taub-Nut-AdS and Taub-Bolt-AdS solutions which are examples of a new class of asymptotically locally anti-de Sitter spaces. We find that with the additional contribu...
متن کاملThe Caedy-Verlinde formula and entropy of Topological Reissner-Nordström black holes in de Sitter spaces
In this paper we discuss the question of whether the entropy of cosmological horizon in Topological Reissner-Nordströmde Sitter spaces can be described by the Cardy-Verlinde formula, which is supposed to be an entropy formula of conformal field theory in any dimension. Furthermore, we find that the entropy of black hole horizon can also be rewritten in terms of the Cardy-Verlinde formula for th...
