Description
In this talk I will review recent progress towards formulating a holographic theory for the de Sitter static patch, from the point of view of an inertial observer. One of the main obstructions to achieve this is the lack of an asymptotic timelike boundary. I will discuss two ways of, at least partially, overcoming this issue. One way is to consider gravity in the presence of a finite boundary. The other one is to study the analogue problem in lower dimensional theories of gravity.
