The Goheer-Kleban-Susskind no-go theorem says that the symmetry of de Sitter space is incompatible with finite entropy. The meaning and consequences of the theorem are discussed in the light of recent developments in holography and gravitational path integrals. The relation between the GKS theorem, Boltzmann fluctuations, wormholes, and exponentially suppressed non-perturbative phenomena suggests: the classical symmetry between different static patches is broken; and that eternal de Sitter space -- if it exists at all -- is an ensemble average.

  1. An Algebra of Observables for de Sitter Space

    hep-th 2022-06 accept novelty 7.0

    Defines a Type II₁ algebra of gravitationally dressed observables in de Sitter static patch whose entropy matches generalized entropy up to a state-independent additive constant.

  2. The yes boundaries wavefunctions of the universe

    hep-th 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.5

    A constrained product of two dressed one-sided dS quantum systems yields a holographic dual whose top-band TFD and lower tall states capture the future wedge and overlapping causal wedges.

  3. Holographic timelike complexity for de Sitter

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Timelike subregion volume complexity in de Sitter grows exponentially early and diverges hyperfast at a maximal duration; near the SdS black hole horizon the divergence is replaced by slower, claimed-nonlinear growth.

  4. The Fate of Nucleated Black Holes in de Sitter Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Nucleated maximal-mass black holes in de Sitter space undergo thermal Hawking evaporation in smooth quantum states and return fully to the empty de Sitter vacuum.

  5. The yes boundaries wavefunctions of the universe

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Using two timelike boundaries and a nearly maximally entangled thermofield double state from dressed de Sitter Hamiltonian theories, the authors construct wavefunctions for extended cosmological spacetimes that includ...

  6. No boundary density matrix in elliptic de Sitter dS/$\mathbb{Z}_2$

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The Euclidean path integral on elliptic de Sitter defines a no-boundary density matrix whose entropies reduce to vertex operator correlators on non-orientable surfaces, with a one-dimensional global Hilbert space but ...

  7. Holographic complexity of de-Sitter black holes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In SdS black hole holography, CV and CV2.0 complexities grow linearly while CA growth vanishes due to finite action, with matching rates between static patch and dS/CFT schemes.

  8. The Fate of Nucleated Black Holes in de Sitter Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Nucleated black holes in de Sitter space evaporate via standard Hawking radiation back to the empty vacuum, rendering nucleation a temporary fluctuation.

  9. Complex Geodesics in the Nariai Geometry

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Two-point functions in Nariai geometry are sums over complex geodesics whose phases must be retained to eliminate artificial singularities.

  10. Complex Geodesics in the Nariai Geometry

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Obtains the two-point correlator in Nariai geometry as a sum over complex geodesics via heat kernel approximation on sphere products followed by analytic continuation, extending de Sitter results.

  11. The Thermodynamics of Cosmological Horizons and Their Holographic Description in de Sitter Space

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A universal first law of thermodynamics for de Sitter cosmological horizons defines entropy in the holographic dual at future infinity as a function of boundary pressure and angular momentum from the Brown-York stress tensor.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Holographic complexity of CFTs in global dS_d is computed via volume and action prescriptions in AdS foliation and brane setups, then compared to results from static and Poincare patches.

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    String theory imposes constraints on dark energy but permits various construction attempts for de Sitter vacua and single-field exponential quintessence models despite obstructions.
