Reconstructing the boundary of AdS from an infrared defect
Reconstructing the boundary of AdS from an infrared defect
We argue that the boundary of an asymptotically anti--de Sitter (AdS) space of dimension $d+1$, say ${M}^{d+1}$, can be locally reconstructed from a codimension-two defect located in the deep interior of a negatively curved Einstein manifold ${X}^{d+2}$ of one higher dimension. This means that there exist two different ways of …
