Information paradox and island in quasi-de Sitter space

Abstract

Whereas a static observer in de Sitter (dS) space detects thermal radiation emitted by the horizon, the dS isometries impose that the radiation is in equilibrium with the background. This implies that for the static observer to find the information paradox, the background must be deformed to quasi-dS space in which the dS isometries are spontaneously broken. We study the condition that the information paradox arises in quasi-dS space with the monotonically increasing horizon size which is used to describe the inflationary cosmology. For this purpose, the dimensional reduction of three-dimensional dS space with thermal radiation modelled by the JT gravity coupled to CFT is considered. We argue that when the central charge monotonically increases in time, the information paradox arises but the conditions for the existence of the island become more restrictive. As the central charge can be interpreted as the number of degrees of freedom, the absence of the island in quasi-dS space supports the entropy argument for the dS swampland conjecture.
