Abstract

In this paper, we propose a model based on wedge holography that can describe the multiverse. In wedge holography, we consider two gravitating baths, one of which has strong gravity and the other one has weak gravity. To describe a multiverse, we consider 2n2n Karch-Randall branes, and we propose that various dd-dimensional universes are localized on these branes. These branes are embedded in (d+1)(d+1)-dimensional spacetime. The model is useful in obtaining the Page curve of black holes with multiple horizons and in the resolution of the ``grandfather paradox''. We explicitly obtain the Page curves of eternal AdS black holes for n=2n=2 multiverse and Schwarzschild de-Sitter black hole with two horizons.
