Constraining holographic inflation with WMAP
read the original abstract
In a class of recently proposed models, the early universe is strongly coupled and described holographically by a three-dimensional, weakly coupled, super-renormalizable quantum field theory. This scenario leads to a power spectrum of scalar perturbations that differs from the usual empirical LCDM form and the predictions of generic models of single field, slow roll inflation. This spectrum is characterized by two parameters: an amplitude, and a parameter g related to the coupling constant of the dual theory. We estimate these parameters, using WMAP and other astrophysical data. We compute Bayesian evidence for both the holographic model and standard LCDM and find that their difference is not significant, although LCDM provides a somewhat better fit to the data. However, it appears that Planck will permit a definitive test of this holographic scenario.

3d QFT IR divergences as UV divergences in 4d Holographic Cosmology
Two-loop 2- and 3-point functions of a massive 3d toy QFT with generalized conformal structure are log-finite in the deep IR, suggesting nonperturbative IR finiteness and, holographically, no cosmological singularity.

3d QFT IR divergences as UV divergences in 4d Holographic Cosmology
In a 3d toy model for holographic cosmology, a mass term preserving generalized conformal structure permits 2-loop computations that indicate possible IR finiteness beyond perturbation theory, corresponding to UV fini...
