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!
