Rindler-AdS/CFT |

Abstract |
In anti-de Sitter space a highly accelerating observer perceives a Rindler horizon. For AdS3, the holographic duality is especially tractable, allowing quantum-gravitational aspects of Rindler horizons to be probed. We recover the thermodynamics of Rindler-AdS space directly from the boundary conformal field theory. We derive the temperature from the two-point function and obtain the Rindler entropy density precisely, including numerical factors, using the Cardy formula. We also probe the causal structure of the spacetime, and find from the behavior of the one-point function that the CFT “knows” when a source has fallen across the Rindler horizon. |
