Infrared realization of dS2 in AdS2

D Anninos, DM Hofman - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We describe a two-dimensional geometry that smoothly interpolates between an
asymptotically AdS 2 geometry and the static patch of dS 2. We find this' centaur'geometry to …

Higher spin de Sitter Hilbert space

D Anninos, F Denef, R Monten, Z Sun - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We propose a complete microscopic definition of the Hilbert space of minimal
higher spin de Sitter quantum gravity and its Hartle-Hawking vacuum state. The funda …

Computational complexity of the landscape II—Cosmological considerations

F Denef, MR Douglas, B Greene, C Zukowski - Annals of Physics, 2018 - Elsevier
We propose a new approach for multiverse analysis based on computational complexity,
which leads to a new family of “computational” measure factors. By defining a cosmology as …

Charged quantum fields in AdS

D Anninos, DM Hofman, J Kruthoff - SciPost Physics, 2019 - scipost.org
We consider quantum field theory near the horizon of an extreme Kerr black hole. In this
limit, the dynamics is well approximated by a tower of electrically charged fields propagating …

Null boundary terms for Lanczos–Lovelock gravity

S Chakraborty, K Parattu - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2019 - Springer
We derive boundary terms appropriate for the general Lanczos–Lovelock action on a null
boundary, when Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed. We believe that these boundary …

Hartle-Hawking boundary conditions as Nucleation by de Sitter Vacuum

F Feleppa, I Licata, C Corda - Physics of the Dark Universe, 2019 - Elsevier
It is shown that, for a de Sitter Universe, the Hartle–Hawking (HH) wave function can be
obtained in a simple way starting from the Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) …

de Sitter Space as a Resonance

J Maltz, L Susskind - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
A quantum mechanical formulation of de Sitter cosmological spacetimes still eludes string
theory. In this Letter we conjecture a potentially rigorous framework in which the status of de …

Thinking non locally: the atemporal roots of particle physics

L Chiatti - Frontiers in Physics, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Developing an approach defined in previous papers a correspondence between elementary
particles and elements of a particular set of directed graphs said “glyphs” is made explicit …
