Go with the flow(s): radial de Sitter holography and T2 (+ Λ2)
Abstract
What can we learn about a putative dual to de Sitter spacetime from the bulk? Conversely, what can a candidate dual theory teach us about the bulk? In this work, we construct midisuperspace Wheeler-DeWitt states that are localised on the Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime. Using these states, we construct a slice-independent worldtube holographic framework in the static patch. We then construct a dictionary between this worldtube proposal and both the T2 and T2 + Λ2 frameworks for cut-off holography. In doing so, we provide a bulk realisation of T2+ Λ2 for dS4 black holes. We identify the average Hamiltonian of our worldtube proposal as the seed energy of the T2 (+ Λ2) theories. To recover the T2 (+ Λ2) energy spectrum as the average Hamiltonian of a worldtube theory, one must make the bulk framework slice-dependent, and we discuss the consequences of this trade-off.
