abstract

De Sitter spacetime is known to have a cosmological horizon that enjoys thermodynamic-like properties similar to those of a black hole horizon. In this note we show that a universal argument can be given for the entropy of de Sitter spacetime in arbitrary dimensions, by generalizing a recent near horizon symmetry plus conformal field theory argument of Carlip for black hole entropy. The implications of this argument are also discussed.

Holography in flipped AdS/$\mathbb{Z}$: Another approach to dS holography

hep-th · 2026-08-09 · conditional · novelty 5.0

Quantum field theories in de Sitter space and in a signature-flipped compact-time spacetime (fAdS) are related by analytic continuation, and the proposed fAdS/fCFT holographic dictionary reproduces de Sitter horizon entropies from a Cardy formula.
