AdS gravastar and its signatures from dual conformal field theory

TL;DR

This paper explores signatures of quantum gravity effects near black hole horizons using AdS/CFT correspondence, focusing on AdS gravastars and their dual conformal field theory signals.

Contribution

It introduces an AdS gravastar model combining AdS-Schwarzschild and de Sitter spacetime and analyzes its dual CFT Green functions for unique horizon-less signatures.

Findings

Bulk-cone singularities are identified in the dual CFT.

Echoes from waves behind the photon sphere are observed.

Signatures specific to horizon-less geometries are found.

Abstract

Quantum gravity effects are expected to resolve the black hole singularity and the effects may deform the region near but outside the horizon. Applying AdS/CFT correspondence, we see their signatures from the viewpoint of dual conformal field theory. As a regularized geometry, we consider AdS gravastar constructed by gluing AdS-Schwarzschild and de Sitter spacetime. The retarded Green functions of dual conformal field theory have bulk-cone singularities associated with null trajectories in the bulk and we obtain the singularities specific to a horizon-less geometry. We also observe echoes coming from waves reflected behind the photon sphere. The existence of echoes implies the modification of geometry inside the photon sphere.
