Title: "Holographic signatures of resolved cosmological singularities"
Abstract:
Singularities occurring in the classical supergravity approximation of AdS/CFT may lead to certain pathologies once bulk probes reach the singular region. Quantum gravity on the other hand is expected to resolve these singularities, offering the possibility of a fully consistent description reflecting the physics of a dual CFT. We take first steps in understanding the dual CFT signatures of resolved cosmological singularities in a simplified setting which allows for analytic computations.
