Assuming the existence of the dS/CFT correspondence, we construct local scalar fields with $m^2>\left( \frac{d}{2} \right)^2$ in de Sitter space by smearing over conformal field theory operators on the future/past boundary. To maintain bulk…
We obtain the electric field and scalar field for a static point charge in closed form in the 5D Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole spacetime. We then compute the static self-force in each of these cases by assuming that the appropriate…
In this paper we construct CFT states describing a putative holographic dual to local excitations in the three-dimensional de Sitter space (dS), called the bulk local states. We find that the conjugation operation in dS$_3/$CFT$_2$ is…
