Consi<strong>de</strong>r the Brown-York stress tensor T µν for a <strong>space</strong>timewhich is asymptotically dS. One may ask the followingquestions:1. What would be the boundary conditions for the metric ifwe want the stress tensor to be finite?2. What is the most general diffeomorphism which preservesthis boundary conditions?The first question can be answered by perturbing dS <strong>space</strong><strong>and</strong> computing T µν <strong>and</strong> then one may answer to the secondquestion which will beThe conformal group of the (d − 1)-dimensional Eucli<strong>de</strong>an<strong>space</strong>.This is one of the main hints of the dS/CFT correspon<strong>de</strong>ncewhich saysQuantum gravity on dS d is dual to a (d − 1)-dimensionalEucli<strong>de</strong>an conformal field theory residing on the past boundaryI − of dS d .This CFT may be non-unitary!To see how this works, let’s consi<strong>de</strong>r an explicit example;dS 3 .38
