Note on Localized Objects as Constrained States of Holographic Variables

TL;DR

This paper proposes that localized objects in Minkowski space are constrained states of holographic variables, suggesting the Minkowski vacuum has infinite entropy and can be viewed as a limit of spaces with non-zero cosmological constant.

Contribution

It introduces a new perspective on Minkowski space as a limit of holographic states with constrained degrees of freedom, linking localized objects to holographic variables.

Findings

Localized excitations are constrained holographic states

Minkowski vacuum has infinite entropy

Minkowski space is a limit of spaces with cosmological constant

Abstract

We argue that localized excitations in Minkowski space must be thought of as constrained states of holographic degrees of freedom. The Minkowski "vacuum" is in fact a density matrix of infinite entropy. The argument assumes that Minkowski space can be viewed as a limit of a space-time with non-vanishing cosmological constant, either positive or negative.
