SUMMARY

Erik Verlinde et al. propose a reversal of the UV-IR (ultraviolet-infrared) relationship in Non-AdS spacetimes, contrasting with the conventional understanding in AdS spacetime. Their findings, detailed in the paper "Long string phenomenon," suggest significant theoretical implications for quantum gravity and string theory. The discussion also references "worldline holography" by Anninos, indicating potential alternative interpretations of these concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Non-AdS and AdS spacetimes
  • Familiarity with quantum gravity principles
  • Knowledge of string theory concepts
  • Basic grasp of holographic principles in theoretical physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Read "Long string phenomenon" by Erik Verlinde et al.
  • Explore the concept of worldline holography by Anninos
  • Investigate the implications of UV-IR relationships in quantum field theory
  • Study advanced topics in Non-AdS spacetime theories
USEFUL FOR

Theoretical physicists, researchers in quantum gravity, and advanced students of string theory will benefit from this discussion.

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!
