Micromanaging de Sitter holography
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop tools to engineer de Sitter vacua with semi-holographic duals, using elliptic fibrations and orientifolds to uplift Freund-Rubin compactifications with CFT duals. The dual brane construction is compact and constitutes a microscopic realization of the dS/dS correspondence, realizing d-dimensional de Sitter space as a warped compactification down to (d− 1)-dimensional de Sitter gravity coupled to a pair of large-N matter sectors. This provides a parametric microscopic interpretation of the Gibbons-Hawking entropy. We illustrate these ideas with an explicit class of examples in three dimensions, and describe ongoing work on four-dimensional constructions.

Inflation, holography, and the choice of vacuum in de Sitter space
A family of de Sitter vacua introduced in hep-th/0203198 as plausible initial conditions for inflation, are discussed from the point of view of de Sitter holography. The vacua are shown to be physically acceptable and the inflationary picture provides a physical interpretation of a subfamily of de Sitter invariant vacua. Some speculations on the issue of vacuum choice and the connection between...
متن کاملDe Sitter quantum scalar field and horizon holography
We show explicitly that free quantum field theory in de Sitter background restricted on the cosmological horizon produces another quantum field theory unitarily equivalent with the original one. Symmetry properties descending from the dual theory are also remarked. In the restricted theory the thermal properties, known for de Sitter quantum field theory, can be proved straightforwardly.
متن کاملQuantum probabilities for inflation from holography
The evolution of the universe is determined by its quantum state. The wave function of the universe obeys the constraints of general relativity and in particular the Wheeler-DeWitt equation (WDWE). For non-zero Λ, we show that solutions of the WDWE at large volume have two domains in which geometries and fields are asymptotically real. In one the histories are Euclidean asymptotically anti-de S...
متن کاملRelating Friedmann equation to Cardy formula in universes with cosmological constant
A relation between the Friedmann equation and the Cardy formula has been found for de Sitter closed and Anti de Sitter flat universes. For the remaining (Anti) de Sitter universes the arguments fail, and we speculate whether the general philosophy of holography can be satisfied in such contents.

متن کاملInflation and de Sitter Holography
We develop the relation between de Sitter holography and inflation in detail with particular attention to cosmic density perturbations. We set up the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism to present a systematic treatment of the logarithmic corrections to a scale invariant spectrum. Our computations can be interpreted without reference to holography, as strong infra-red effects in gravity. This point of vi...
