- Abstract
- Nonperturbative issues in quantum gravity in
Anti de Sitter spacetimes are addressed by means of the manifestly
holographic framework of Anti de Sitter/Conformal Field theory
correspondence (in Lorentzian signature). After a review of the
properties of Anti de Sitter space, the map of local bulk insertions in
terms of "smeared out" boundary CFT operators is constructed in the
strictly semiclassical limit. We begin with pure AdS space in various
coordinate systems where it is demonstrated how (approximate) bulk
locality emerges from the dual CFT. The best result is obtained for the
case of Rindler coordinates one is able to minimize the support of the
complexif ied smeared CFT operators to a very compact region of the
boundary. Holographic maps are also constructed for various AdS black
holes. We show how bulk degrees of freedom in
regions of bulk behind horizons are encoded in the dual CFT and what is
the CFT interpretation of the black hole singularity.
Next we model a scenario of eternal ination by embedding "landscape"
of string theory vacua in the manifestly holographic framework of
AdS/CFT duality. Bubble geometries with de Sitter
interiors within an ambient Schwarzschild anti-de Sitter black hole
spacetime are investigated and a characterization for the states in the
dual CFT on boundary of the asymptotic AdS which code the expanding dS
bubble are obtained. These can then in turn be used to specify initial
conditions for cosmology. This scenario naturally interprets the entropy
of de Sitter space as a (logarithm of ) subspace of states of the black
hole microstates. Consistency checks are performed and a number of
implications regarding cosmology are discussed including how the key
problems or paradoxes of conventional eternal ination are overcome.
Finally we turn to pure AdS gravity in (2+1)-dimensions which is
classically equivalent to Chern-Simons theory. Recent investigations
suggest that the dual CFT is holomorphically factorizable. By analyzing
classical gauge
