Holography beyond AdS/CFT : quantum cosmology and black holes
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Inspired by the successes of AdS/CFT, this dissertation is devoted to the study of holography in non-AdS spacetimes resembling patches of our universe. We will consider the universe on large scales and near spinning black holes. In the case of black holes, we will show that holographic entanglement entropy techniques from AdS/CFT prove quantitatively successful when adapted to the spacetime near spinning black holes. In the context of three-dimensional de Sitter spacetime, we will propose a microscopic derivation of the cosmological horizon entropy. For four-dimensional de Sitter spacetime, we shall compute wavefunctionals within a proposed higher-spin holographic duality, in addition to proposing a one-parameter extension to the duality. We will end by analyzing the sharply ultrametric state space of a massless scalar in an FRW background and will propose a holographic duality which relates FRW cosmologies to hyperscaling-violating field theories.
