A Holographic Holographic Bound and the Black Hole S-Matrix

Abstract

Holographic bounds have been derived using explicitly gravitational arguments. Motivated by explicit constructions of bulk wavepackets from observables in the boundary CFT, we derive a holographic bound in the context of the gauge/gravity correspondence within the dual field theory. We verify the consistency of the bound with the program of determining the Black Hole S-Matrix from the AdS/CFT correspondence.
