This study suggests that metric fluctuations can be quantitatively described using a conformal field theory, and proposes that fluctuations in the modular Hamiltonian of a causal diamond are equal to the entanglement entropy. The research focuses on three pieces of quantitative evidence from different sources, including Randall-Sundrum II braneworld, the conformal description of black hole horizons, and the fluid-gravity correspondence.
Motivated by recent work suggesting observably large spacetime fluctuations in the causal development of an empty region of flat space, we conjecture that these metric fluctuations can be quantitatively described in terms of a conformal field theory of near-horizon vacuum states. One consequence of this conjecture is that fluctuations in the modular Hamiltonian Delta K of a causal diamond are equal to the entanglement entropy: h = < K > = A(Sigma(d-2))/4G(d), where A(Sigma(d-2)) is the area of the entangling surface in d dimensions. Our conjecture applies to flat space, the cosmological horizon of dS, and AdS Ryu-Takayanagi diamonds, but not to large finite area diamonds in the bulk of AdS. We focus on three pieces of quantitative evidence, from a Randall-Sundrum II braneworld, from the conformal description of black hole horizons, and from the fluid-gravity correspondence. Our hypothesis also suggests that a broader range of formal results can be brought to bear on observables in flat and dS spaces.
