On extremal surfaces and de Sitter entropy
We study extremal surfaces in the static patch coordinatization of de Sitter space, focusing on the future and past universes. We find connected timelike codim-2 surfaces on a boundary Euclidean time slice stretching from the future boundary I+ to the past boundary I−. In a limit, these surfaces pas...
