Some thoughts on the quantum theory of stable de Sitter space
Mar, 2005Citations per year
Abstract:
I review and update ideas about the quantum theory of de Sitter space. New results include a quantum relation between energy and entropy of states in the causal patch, which is satisfied by small dS black holes. I also discuss the preliminaries of a quantum theory in global coordinates, which is invariant under a q-deformed version of the de Sitter supergroup. In this context I outline an algebraic derivation of the CSB scaling relation between Poincare SUSY breaking and the dS radius. I also review recent work on infra-red divergences in dS/CFT, as well as the phenomenology of CSB. I show that a coincidence been two scales in the phenomenological model is explained by insisting on the existence of galaxies.Note:
