A multiverse model in T2 dS wedge holography

A bstract We construct a multiverse model where empty AdS d +1 space is cut off by a pair of accelerated dS d space universes, at a finite AdS boundary cutoff which we treat as a T 2 deformation in the holographic dual, and one in the AdS interior, the IR brane; and denote the construction as T 2 dS wedge holography. We glue together several copies of this configuration along the UV cutoff and the IR branes in a periodic matter. To provide the model with dynamics similar to those of near Nariai black holes used in other multiverse toy models, we specialize to d = 2 and add dS JT gravity as an intrinsic gravity theory on the IR branes. We then study the entanglement entropy with respect to a finite cutoff observer, who finds a Page curve transition due to an entanglement island connecting the UV cutoff and IR brane. This process involves the coarse-graining of information outside the causally accessible region to the observer. Our model provides an explicit realization of entanglement between IR and UV degrees of freedom encoded in the multiverse.
