Holography of information in de Sitter space
read the original abstract
We study the natural norm on the space of solutions to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in an asymptotically de Sitter spacetime. We propose that the norm is obtained by integrating the squared wavefunctional over field configurations and dividing by the volume of the diff-and-Weyl group. We impose appropriate gauge conditions to fix the diff-and-Weyl redundancy and obtain a finite expression for the norm using the Faddeev-Popov procedure. This leads to a ghost action that has zero modes corresponding to a residual conformal subgroup of the diff-and-Weyl group. By keeping track of these zero modes, we show that Higuchi's norm for group-averaged states emerges from our prescription in the nongravitational limit. We apply our formalism to cosmological correlators and propose that they should be understood as gauge-fixed observables. We identify the symmetries of these observables. In a nongravitational theory, it is necessary to specify such correlators everywhere on a Cauchy slice to identify a state in the Hilbert space. In a theory of quantum gravity, we demonstrate a version of the principle of holography of information: cosmological correlators in an arbitrarily small region suffice to completely specify the state.

Inflation and topology from the no-boundary state
The no-boundary wavefunction on the 3-torus, summed over SL(3,Z) geometries using GL(3) automorphic forms, favors large inflating universes with N ≳ 250 e-folds and induces torus-moduli corrections to the CMB spectrum.

M\"obius randomness in the Hartle-Hawking state
The Hartle-Hawking state for toroidal quantum cosmologies is expressed in the Langlands decomposition as a sum over zeta zeros whose near-singularity dynamics follow the Hilbert-Pólya Hamiltonian and as a Möbius avera...

Inflation and topology from the no-boundary state
Switching to 3-torus topology and summing SL(3,Z) geometries via automorphic forms makes the no-boundary wavefunction favor large inflating universes with over 250 e-folds, plus CMB corrections from torus moduli.
