We consider small perturbations to a static three-dimensional de Sitter geometry. For early enough perturbations that satisfy the null energy condition, the result is a shockwave geometry that leads to a time advance in the trajectory of geodesics crossing it. This brings the opposite poles of de Sitter space into causal contact with each other, much like a traversable wormhole in Anti-de Sitter space. In this background, we compute out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) to asses the chaotic nature of the de Sitter horizon and find that it is maximally chaotic: one of the OTOCs we study decays exponentially with a Lyapunov exponent that saturates the chaos bound. We discuss the consequences of our results for de Sitter complementarity and inflation.

In this note, we study the holographic CFT in the de Sitter static patch at finite temperature $T$ and chemical potential. We find that butterfly velocity $v_B$ in such field theory degenerates for all values of the Hubble parameter $H$ and $T$. We i nterpret this as a chaos disruption caused by the interplay between the expansion of chaotic correlations constrained by $v_B$ and effects caused by de Sitter curvature. The chemical potential restores healthy butterfly velocity for some range of temperatures. Also, we provide some analogy of this chaos suppression with the Schwinger effect in de Sitter and black hole formation from shock wave collision.

Motivated by the coincidence of scrambling time in de Sitter and maximum lifetime given by the $textit{Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture}$ (TCC), we study the relation between the de Sitter complementarity and the Swampland conditions. We study t hermalization in de Sitter space from different perspectives and show that TCC implies de Sitter space cannot live long enough to be considered a thermal background. We also revisit $alpha$-vacua in light of this work and show that TCC imposes multiple initial condition/fine-tuning problems on any conventional inflationary scenario.

We demonstrate that possession of a single negative mode is not a sufficient criterion for an instanton to mediate exponential decay. For example, de Sitter space is generically stable against decay via the Coleman-De Luccia instanton. This is due to the fact that the de Sitter Euclidean action is bounded below, allowing for an approximately de Sitter invariant false vacuum to be constructed.
It has been notoriously difficult to construct a meta-stable de Sitter (dS) vacuum in string theory in a controlled approximation. This suggests the possibility that meta-stable dS belongs to the swampland. In this paper, we propose a swampland crite rion in the form of $| abla V|geq c cdot V$ for a scalar potential $V$ of any consistent theory of quantum gravity, for a positive constant $c$. In particular, this bound forbids dS vacua. The existence of this bound is motivated by the abundance of string theory constructions and no-go theorems which exhibit this behavior. We also extend some of the well-known no-go theorems for the existence of dS vacua in string theory to more general accelerating universes and reinterpret the results in terms of restrictions on allowed scalar potentials.

Maldacena has shown that the wavefunction of the universe in de Sitter space can be viewed as the partition function of a conformal field theory. In this paper, we investigate this approach to the dS/CFT correspondence in further detail. We emphasize that massive bulk fields are dual to two primary operators on the boundary, which encode information about the two independent behaviors of bulk expectation values at late times. An operator statement of the duality is given, and it is shown that the resulting boundary correlators can be interpreted as transition amplitudes from the Bunch-Davies vacuum to an excited state in the infinite future. We also explain how these scattering amplitudes can be used to compute late-time Bunch-Davies expectation values, and comment on the effects of anomalies in the dual CFT on such expectation values.
