Matrix Multiverses Meet Multiple Mythologies
Sidan A, Tom Banks, Willy Fischler
We present a model in which asymptotically de Sitter universes of various types, and de Sitter (dS) radii , live in the interiors of black holes in a maximally entropic flat $…
Can Primordial Black Holes Be Seeds for Early Galaxies in Models Satisfying the Covariant Entropy Bound?
Sidan A, Tom Banks, Willy Fischler
We argue that cosmological models obeying the Covariant Entropy Bound (CEB) mathematically favor states with no localized excitations or one large black hole containing all the ene…
Diamonds in the Bulk and Large- Scaling in AdS/CFT
Sidan A, Tom Banks
Quantum Field Theory introduced us to the notion that a causal diamond in space-time corresponded to a subsystem of a quantum mechanical system defined on the global space-time. Wo…
The holographic space-time model of inflation and its predictions for the CMB primordial spectra
Sidan A, Tom Banks
In 1998 Carlip and Solodukhin independently conjectured the equality between fluctuations in the modular Hamiltonian of black holes and its expectation value. Banks and Zurek's 202…
