Holographic Cosmology and its Relevant Degrees of Freedom
نویسنده
چکیده
We reconsider the options for cosmological holography. We suggest that a global and time– symmetric version of the Fischler-Susskind bound is the most natural generalization of the holographic bound encountered in AdS and De Sitter space. A consistent discussion of cosmological holography seems to imply an understanding of the notion of “number of degrees of freedom” that deviates from its simple definition as the entropy of the current state. The introduction of a more adequate notion of degree of freedom makes the suggested variation of the Fischler-Susskind bound look like a stringent and viable bound in all 4–dimensional cosmologies without a cosmological constant.

Holographic dark energy and late cosmic acceleration
It has been persuasively argued that the number of the effective degrees of freedom of a macroscopic system is proportional to its area rather than to its volume. This entails interesting consequences for cosmology. Here we present a model based on this “holographic principle” that accounts for the present stage of accelerated expansion of the Universe and significantly alleviates the coinciden...
متن کاملThe initial conditions of the Universe and holography
We address the initial conditions for an expanding cosmology using the holographic principle. For the case of a closed model, the old prescription of Fishler and Susskind, that uses the particle horizon to encode the bulk degrees of freedom, can be implemented for accelerated models with enough acceleration. As a bonus we have singularity free bouncing models. The bound is saturated for co-dime...
متن کاملCosmic Holography
A version of holographic principle for the cosmology is proposed, which dictates that the particle entropy within the cosmological apparent horizon should not exceed the gravitational entropy associated with the apparent horizon. It is shown that, in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology, the open Universe as well as a restricted class of flat cases are compatible with the principle, w...
متن کاملFischler-Susskind holographic cosmology revisited
When Fischler and Susskind proposed a holographic prescription based on the Particle Horizon, they found that spatially closed cosmological models do not verify it due to the apparently unavoidable recontraction of the Particle Horizon area. In this article, after a short review of their original work, we expose graphically and analytically that spatially closed cosmological models can avoid th...
متن کاملNote on Holographic RG Flow in String Cosmology
We propose a new holographic C-function for the accelerating universe defined in the stringy frame motivated mainly by the fact that the number of degrees of freedom should be infinite for a physically infinite universe. This is the generalization of Strominger’s recent proposal of the holographic C-function to the asymptotically non-de Sitter universe. We find that the corresponding C-theorem ...
