This motivates an exploration of the (d þ 1)-dimensional linear dilaton spacetime (LDdþ1) and its holographic properties from the low-energy viewpoint.We first notice that the LDdþ1 space has simple conformal symmetries, that we use to shape an effective field theory (EFT) on the LD background. We then place a brane in the background to study holography at the level of quantum fields and gravity. We find that the holographic correlators from the EFT feature a pattern of singularities at certain kinematic thresholds. We argue that such singularities can be used to bootstrap the putative d-dimensional dual theory using techniques analogous to those of the cosmological bootstrap program. Turning on finite temperature, we study the holographic fluid emerging on the brane in the presence of a bulk black hole. We find that the holographic fluid is pressureless for any d due to a cancellation between Weyl curvature and dilaton stress tensor, and verify consistency with the time evolution of the theory. From the fluid thermodynamics, we find a universal temperature and Hagedorn behavior for any d. This matches the properties of a CFT2 with large TT¯ deformation, and of little string theory for d ¼ 6. We also find that the holographic fluid entropy exactly matches the bulk black hole Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. Both the fluid equation of state and the spectrum of quantum fluctuations suggest that the d-dimensional dual theory arising from LDdþ1 is generically gapped.}, organization = {Project No. PID2020– 114767GB-I00}, organization = {Ramón y Cajal Program under Grant No. RYC-2016-20678}, organization = {“FSE Investing in your future,” by the FEDER/Junta de Andalucía-Consejería de Economía y Conocimiento 2014–2020 Operational Programme under Grant No. A-FQM-178-UGR18}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía under Grant No. FQM-225}, organization = {“Prórrogas de Contratos Ramón y Cajal” Program of the University of Granada}, organization = {Spanish MICIN under Grant No. PID2020– 115845GB-I00}, organization = {Catalan Government under Grant No. 2021SGR00649}, organization = {IFAE is partially funded by the CERCA program of the Generalitat de Catalunya}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, title = {Holography of linear dilaton spacetimes from the bottom up}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevD.109.106011}, author = {Fichet, Sylvain and Megías Fernández, Eugenio and Quirós, Mariano}, }
