de Sitter Microstates from and the Hawking-Page Transition

arXiv:2110.14670 · doi:10.1007/JHEP07(2022)140

Abstract

We obtain microstates accounting for the Gibbons-Hawking entropy in , along with a subleading logarithmic correction, from the solvable deformation of a seed CFT with sparse light spectrum. The microstates arise as the dressed CFT states near dimension , associated with the Hawking-Page transition; they dominate the real spectrum of the deformed theory. We exhibit an analogue of the Hawking-Page transition in de Sitter. Appropriate generalizations of the deformation are required to treat model-dependent local bulk physics (subleading at large central charge) and higher dimensions. These results add considerably to the already strong motivation for the continued pursuit of such generalizations along with a more complete characterization of type theories, building from existing results in these directions.
