The discussion centers on Erik Verlinde's argument that in Non-AdS spacetimes, the UV-IR relationship may be reversed compared to AdS spacetime, as detailed in his paper. This reversal is linked to the "Long string phenomenon" and relates to concepts of "worldline holography" proposed by Anninos. Participants express curiosity about the theoretical implications of this reversal and whether alternative interpretations exist. The complexity of the topic may limit engagement from the forum community. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for further exploration of these advanced theoretical concepts.

Erik Verlinde et.al argues that their conformal map suggests that in Non-AdS spacetimes the UV-IR(energy-distance) relationship is not what it seems in AdS spacetime,but a reversal.The paper explains this in terms of "Long string phenomenon"(which is a little above my skill sets)and draws parallel with a "worldline holography"by Anninos.
I wonder what theoretical implications this reversal could bring,or are alternative interpretations possible?

Hi Iwjjack, sorry to see you aren't getting any replies. This seems like a pretty advanced topic, so I doubt there are many on PF who can chime in on it. Best of luck to you though!
 
This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
