On the Holographic S-matrix

Abstract

The recent proposal by Polchinski and Susskind for the holographic flat space S-matrix is discussed. By using Feynman diagrams we argue that in principle all the information about the S-matrix in the interacting field theory in the bulk of the anti-de Sitter space is encoded into the data on the timelike boundary. The problem of locality of interpolating field is discussed and it is suggested that the interpolating field lives in a quantum Boltzmannian Hilbert space.
