Description

In a spacetime with asymptotically anti-de-Sitter boundaries, localized events in the bulk produce characteristic signals at boundary locations that are lightlike from the event. I will describe (thought) experiments that use these signals to measure the geometry and scattering amplitudes of processes happening inside the bulk, and discuss exterior signatures of bulk causality and local dynamics. Based on 2501.13182, 2502.14963.
