Review text

The holographic principle of theoretical cosmology is based on the idea that for a given volume \(V\) the state of maximal entropy is given by the largest black hole that fits inside \(V\). To shed light on the holographic principle and the entropy bounds derived from it, the paper under review considers a standard cosmology of a closed radiation dominated Friedman-Robertson-Walker universe of space-time dimension \(n + 1\) and spherical volume \(V = \text{vol}({\mathbb S}_n)R^n\) [\textit{W. Rindler}, Fundam. Theor. Phys. 16, 39--58 (2002; Zbl 1040.83051)]. The procedure leads to a modified version of the holographic bound which takes into account that in a cosmological setting the expansion rate of the universe as well as the given value of the total energy do not permit to form a black hole that fills the entire volume \(V\). Surprisingly the conformal field theory appears to know about the holographic entropy bounds, and equally surprising the Friedman-Robertson-Walker equations know about the entropy formulae of the conformal field theory. In fact, they merge together into one set of equations. This observation appears as a natural consequence of the holographic principle of theoretical cosmology. The miraculous merging suggests that both sets of equations arise from a single underlying fundamental theory of cosmology. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0997.00035].
