Page curves and the de Sitter horizon

17 Jun 2021, 14:00

Description

One of the great puzzles our universe has provided us with is a proper understanding of the cosmological horizon that surrounds any observer within it. To good approximation, we believe our universe can be described by de Sitter space; this maximally symmetric space shows striking similarities with eternal (Anti-de Sitter) black holes. In this talk, I will discuss how we can apply recent insights on the Black Hole Information Problem to gain a better understanding of the entropy of the de Sitter horizon.
