The holographic principle in a radiation dominated universe, as discussed first by Verlinde (2000), is extended so as to incorporate the case of a bulk-viscous cosmic fluid. This corresponds to a non-conformally invariant theory.…
In this talk we entertain the possibility that the synthesis of general covariance and quantum mechanics requires an extension of the basic kinematical setup of quantum mechanics. According to the holographic principle, regions of spacetime…
We present a simple derivation of an upper bound on the average size of the true vacuum bubbles at the end of inflation, in models of extended inflation type. The derivation uses the inequality that the total energy inside a given volume…
A cosmological version of the holographic principle is proposed. Various consequences are discussed including bounds on equation of state and the requirement that the universe be infinite.
One of the unique features of quantum gravity is the lack of local observables and the completeness of boundary observables. We show that the existence of boundary observables for particles with mass…
By assuming that a dark component (dark energy) in the universe strictly obeys the holographic principle, that is, its entropy is one fourth of the apparent horizon, we find that the existence of the other dark component (dark matter) is…
We extend all known area inequalities obeyed by Ryu-Takayanagi surfaces of AdS boundary regions -- the holographic entropy cone -- to static generalized entanglement wedges of bulk regions in arbitrary spacetimes. The generalized…
The issues of holography and possible links with gauge theories in spacetime physics is discussed, in an approach quite distinct from the more restricted AdS-CFT correspondence. A particular notion of holography in the context of black hole…
We discuss how holographic bounds can be applied to the quantum fluctuations of the inflaton. In general the holographic principle will lead to a bound on the UV cutoff scale of the effective theory of inflation, but it will depend on the…
We present a new cosmological model, based on the holographic principle, which shares many of the virtues of inflation. The very earliest semiclassical era of the universe is dominated by a dense gas of black holes, with equation of state…
Based on an analysis of the entropy associated to the vacuum quantum fluctuations, we show that the holographic principle, applied to the cosmic scale, constitutes a possible explanation for the observed value of the cosmological constant,…
The Cohen-Kaplan-Nelson bound is imposed on the grounds of logical consistency (with classical General Relativity) upon local quantum field theories. This paper puts the bound into the context of a thermodynamic principle applicable to a…
Recently it has been proposed that the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for the entropy of spacetime horizons has a larger significance as the leading contribution to the entanglement entropy of general spacetime regions, in the underlying…
The results of the paper of Verlinde [hep-th/0008140], discussing the holographic principle in a radiation dominated universe, are extended when allowing the cosmic fluid to possess a bulk viscosity. This corresponds to a non-conformally…
We investigate the validity of the Generalized Second Law (GSL) of thermodynamics in a $(2+1)$-dimensional holographic cosmological model with a negative cosmological constant. Adopting a horizon thermodynamics framework, we examine two…
It has been persuasively argued that the number of the effective degrees of freedom of a macroscopic system is proportional to its area rather than to its volume. This entails interesting consequences for cosmology. Here we present a model…
The cosmological Friedmann equation sourced by the trace anomaly of a conformal field theory that is dual to the five-dimensional Schwarzschild-AdS geometry can be derived from the first law of thermodynamics if the apparent horizon of the…
The suspicion that gravity is holographic has been supported mainly by a variety of specific examples from string theory. In this paper, we propose that such a holography can actually be observed in the context of Einstein's gravity and at…
A Vaidya type geometry describing gravitation collapse in asymptotically Lifshitz spacetime with hyperscaling violation provides a simple holographic model for thermalization near a quantum critical point with non-trivial dynamic and…
The holographic principle states that on a fundamental level the information content of a region should depend on its surface area rather than on its volume. This counterintuitive idea which has its roots in the nonextensive nature of…
