Up to isometry, the anti de Sitter spacetime of dimension , , is the pseudo-Riemannian manifold whose underlying manifold is the submanifold of the Minkowski spacetime that solves the equation
for some (the “radius” of the spacetime) and equipped with the metric induced from the ambient metric, where denote the canonical coordinates. is homeomorphic to , and its isometry group is .
More generally, one may define the anti de Sitter space of signature as isometrically embedded in the space with coordinates as the sphere .
(…)
in horospheric coordinates the AdS metric tensor is
In terms of
this becomes
and with
for
we get
(…)
Asymptotically anti-de Sitter spaces play a central role in the realization of the holographic principle by AdS/CFT correspondence.
