A note on Centaur geometry -- probing IR de Sitter spacetime holography

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-01-07 v1

Abstract

We explore a Centaur geometry in JT gravity, which is an asymptotically AdS spacetime but in the IR admits a dS bubble with another AdS geometry in the deep IR. Thus, this geometry admits a holographic dual in the sense that it is asymptotically AdS. In an attempt to understand this geometry, we calculate the density of states of the putative boundary dual for such mixed geometries by evaluating the on-shell action. We compute the density of states analytically in the classical limit. The resultant density of states suggest that the degrees of freedom in the IR are reduced in such a putative boundary theory due to the IR modification corresponding to the dS bubble.
