| Abstract: Over the last 5 years, there has been substantive progress in de Sitter quantum gravity, and in particular de Sitter holography. I will pedagogically review some of these developments including the computation of de Sitter S-matrix elements, the non-perturbative Hilbert space of de Sitter quantum gravity, the sum over de Sitter spacetime topologies, subtleties with the de Sitter path integral measure, and de Sitter holographic dualities. Along the way, I will point out directions for future research. Link to the Event Video |
