Verlinde Gravity and AdS/CFT

Abstract

Verlinde argued \cite{Verlinde:2016toy} that baryonic matter in de Sitter Universe with a Hubble constant $H$ produces a bulk contribution to the vacuum entanglement entropy $δS_{ent}$. Using the de Sitter temperature $T_{dS}=\frac{H}{2π}$, he interpreted $δM$ in the first law $T_{dS}\ δS_{ent}=-δM$ with the Dark Matter energy. We use standard tools of the gauge/gravity correspondence to present some evidence for the Verlinde's proposal.
