Future Boundary Conditions in de Sitter Space

چکیده
We consider asymptotically future de Sitter spacetimes endowed with an eternal observatory. In the conventional descriptions, the conformal metric at the future boundary I+ is deformed by the flux of gravitational radiation. We however impose an unconventional future “Dirichlet” boundary condition requiring that the conformal metric is flat everywhere except at the conformal point where the observatory arrives at I+. This boundary condition violates conventional causality, but we argue the causality violations cannot be detected by any experiment in the observatory. We show that the bulk-to-bulk two-point functions obeying this future boundary condition are not realizable as operator correlation functions in any de Sitter invariant vacuum, but they do agree with those obtained by double analytic continuation from anti-de Sitter space.

Spacelike hypersurfaces with constant $S$ or $K$ in de Sitter space or anti-de Sitter space
Let $M^n$ be an $n(ngeq 3)$-dimensional complete connected and oriented spacelike hypersurface in a de Sitter space or an anti-de Sitter space, $S$ and $K$ be the squared norm of the second fundamental form and Gauss-Kronecker curvature of $M^n$. If $S$ or $K$ is constant, nonzero and $M^n$ has two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple, we obtain some charact...
متن کاملSuper algebra and Harmonic Oscillator in Anti de Sitter space
The harmonic oscillator in anti de Sitter space(AdS) is discussed. We consider the harmonic oscillator potential and then time independent Schrodinger equation in AdS space. Then we apply the supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics approach to solve our differential equation. In this paper we have solved Schrodinger equation for harmonic oscillator in AdS spacetime by supersymmetry approach. The shape...
متن کاملde Sitter Vacua , Renormalization and Locality
We analyze the renormalization properties of quantum field theories in de Sitter space and show that only two of the maximally invariant vacuum states of free fields lead to consistent perturbation expansions. One is the Euclidean vacuum and the other can be viewed as an analytic continuation of Euclidean functional integrals on RP . The corresponding Lorentzian manifold is the future half of g...
متن کاملExploring de Sitter Space and Holography
We explore aspects of the physics of de Sitter (dS) space that are relevant to holography with a positive cosmological constant. First we display a nonlocal map that commutes with the de Sitter isometries, transforms the bulk-boundary propagator and solutions of free wave equations in de Sitter onto the same quantities in Euclidean anti-de Sitter (EAdS), and takes the two boundaries of dS to th...
