We study the construction of holographic models with closed FRW cosmologies on the worldvolume of a constant-tension brane inside a Schwarzschild-AdS black hole. In dimensions d>2, having a smooth Euclidean solution where the brane does not self-intersect limits the brane tension to T<T_*, preventing us from realising a separation of scales between...

... approach to understanding closed universes with big-bang/big-crunch cosmologies holographically was proposed in [1] (and further developed in [2,3,4,5]). The idea is to consider an asymptotically AdS d+1 black hole spacetime with a d-dimensional dynamical end of the world (ETW) brane behind the horizon providing an inner boundary of the spacetime, as depicted in figure 1. Starting from the t = 0 surface, the ETW brane falls into the black hole and terminates at the singularity, so its worldvolume geometry is a big-bang/big-crunch cosmology. ...

Starting from the t = 0 surface, the ETW brane falls into the black hole and terminates at the singularity, so its worldvolume geometry is a big-bang/big-crunch cosmology. The state in the bulk on the t = 0 surface is dual to some state in the dual d-dimensional CFT on the asymptotic boundary on the right in figure 1, which therefore includes a description of the cosmology on the ETW brane worldvolume. ...

... holographic model of cosmology we consider was first proposed in [1]. The model consists of an AdS black hole bulk with one asymptotic region, with a dynamical constant-tension ETW brane behind the horizon, as pictured in figure 1. The induced geometry on the ETW brane worldvolume is that of a closed FRW universe, with the radial position playing the role of the scale factor. ...

... the future and past of this, r(t) decreases, as pictured in figure 1. The brane worldvolume geometry is thus a closed FRW big-bang/big-crunch cosmology, where the brane radius r(t) plays the role of the scale factor, and the brane equation of motion (4) corresponds to the Friedmann equation in this worldvolume cosmology. ...

Black hole is a kind of special celestial subject whose density is so great that even the light cannot escape, which has always been a popular topic. This study will present the recent progress of observation related to three quantities of black holes. As a leading-in, we first introduced some of the most commonly discussed black holes by demonstra...

We compute the on-shell Euclidean action of Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes, and take their contributions in the gravitational path integral into account using the formalism of constrained instantons. Although Euclidean de Sitter black hole geometries have conical singularities for generic masses, their on-shell action is finite and is shown to...

We prove that any analytic vacuum spacetime with a positive cosmological constant in four and higher dimensions, that contains a static extremal Killing horizon with a maximally symmetric compact cross-section, must be locally isometric to either the extremal Schwarzschild de Sitter solution or its near-horizon geometry (the Nariai solution). In fo...
