Abstract

This is the text of my talk at the Strings 2000 Conference at the University of Michigan. It consists of three interlocking conjectures about the nature of SUSY breaking and the Cosmological Constant, as well as evidence from a toy model that demonstrates the validity of the claim that systems with a UV/IR connection can exhibit much larger SUSY breaking than local field theory.

  • Holographic cosmology suggests that the universe's large-scale structure and dynamics are not developed by local degrees of freedom inside the bulk but by data encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary merged with the cosmological horizon.

    “The theory of holographic cosmology suggests that the universe's large-scale structure as well as dynamics are developed not by local degrees of freedom inside the bulk.The data encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary, on average, merged with the cosmological horizon.”

    Section 3, “The entropy of DeSitter space,” describes cosmological event horizons as holographic screens that encode information. Section 6, “Metaphysics,” conjectures that spacetime geometry could be computed from the number of quantum states. Neither passage establishes that the universe’s large-scale structure and dynamics are produced by boundary data rather than local bulk degrees of freedom; the horizon discussion is also framed around de Sitter space. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • The number of fundamental degrees of freedom in holographic cosmology is predicted to scale with area A∼H^-2 rather than volume V∼H^-3.

    “The number of fundamental degrees on behalf of freedom is predicted to scale with the area A∼H -2 , rather than the spatial volume V∼H -3 .”

    From Holographic Principle Applications to Cosmology (2025) · cites this paper as Banks, 2001

    Section 3, “The entropy of DeSitter space” (page unavailable), relates horizon area to entropy and interprets that entropy as the logarithm of the number of quantum states. Section 6, “Metaphysics” (page unavailable), likewise conjectures that the number of states is exponential in screen area. These passages support area-based scaling of entropy, but not literal area scaling of the number of states; they also do not give the claimed H^-2 and H^-3 powers. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
