 Sitter biography
De Sitter corresponded with Ehrenfest in 1916, and he proposed that a four- dimensional space- time would fit in with cosmological models based on general relativity.
De Sitter's work led directly to Eddington's 1919 expedition to measure the gravitational deflection of light rays passing near the Sun, results which, at that time, could only be obtained during an eclipse.
De Sitter, unlike Einstein, maintained that relativity actually implied that the universe was expanding, theoretical results which were later verified observationally and accepted by Einstein.

 Willem de Sitter Summary
The calculations are complex, but De Sitter's expertise in celestial mechanics and his mathematical precision enabled him to contribute new data on the moons, which he studied for many years.
In 1905 De Sitter took note of Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity, and brought it to the attention of English-speaking scientists, using it to account for small deviations in the motions of the moon and planets.
De Sitter died at Leiden, Netherlands, at the age of 62 on November 20, 1934.

 Ah, the Binomial Coefficient! | UberKuh   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Einstein immediately rejected the de Sitter solution because it went against his intuition - it implied that space-time can be curved in the absence of matter - although he ended up accepting the idea after some debate.
In de Sitter space the universe expands exponentially, which is the basis of the inflationary model of the universe.
Obtaining a de Sitter solution is therefore a major challenge for string theory, which has been the main candidate for a fundamental theory of the universe for almost 20 years.

de Sitter space, the space-time associated with a positive cosmological constant, often serves as an idealization for the slowly rolling phase of inflation.
One striking difference from Minkowski space is the existence of a one-parameter family of invariant vacuum states, typically distinguished by a complex number α.
I have also extended this work to include fermionic theories, which in de Sitter space have their own α states, and constructed a framework in which interacting theories of fermions could also be renormalized.

An important question in high energy physics experimentation, is to establish the likelihood of inititating a transition towards de Sitter space thus releasing the force of supernova upon our earth, the solar system, and a host of nearby stars to the distance of some fifty lightyears.
It may be postulated, however, that the intrusional event from de Sitter space may impinge upon the continuum from any point on the surface of the unit sphere.
This work therefore is concerned with the novel hypothesis of an intrusional event from de Sitter space as an alternative hypothesis to the "central machine" accretion disk orbiting a supermassive (10 to the 8th - 10 to the 9th solar masses) fl hole model of Martin Rees.

 The string-theory landscape (November 2003) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
De Sitter space is only a local minimum of the energy, whereas the global minimum corresponds to a flat 10D space-time.
We therefore know that the de Sitter minimum has to be unstable, and that it will ultimately decay to the stable flat 10D minimum via quantum tunnelling (see figure).
Once we know that there is one de Sitter solution, it is easy to find many more of them by just changing the values of the fluxes.

Anti de Sitter fl holes may not seem of much interest, because we can be fairly sure, that the universe is not asymptotically anti de Sitter.
The boundary of rotating anti de Sitter, is a rotating Einstein universe, of one dimension lower.
This behavior is similar to that for Schwarzschild anti de Sitter space, and might indicate a phase transition in the corresponding conformal field theory.

 4.1 Stability of de Sitter space   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
In [40] Friedrich proved a result on the stability of de Sitter space.
In fact the result gives much more detail on the asymptotic behaviour than just this and may be thought of as proving a form of the cosmic no hair conjecture in the vacuum case.
(This conjecture says roughly that the de Sitter solution is an attractor for expanding cosmological models with positive cosmological constant.) This result is proved using conformal techniques and, in particular, the regular conformal field equations developed by Friedrich.

Willem de Sitter (1872—1934) was a mathematical astronomer who became a pioneer in exploring the astronomical implications of general relativity.
A further motivation for working in de Sitter space is that it offers a means of quantizing general relativity.
The model invites the exploration of spaces with fewer of the 11 dimensions of M theory being compact.

 Review of Top Cited HEP Articles of 2000
A d-dimensional surface or `brane' that restricts the volume of anti-de Sitter space then corresponds to a momentum cutoff on the corresponding d-dimensional field theory, a brane at large radius corresponding to an ultraviolet cutoff, and a brane in the interior corresponding to an infrared cutoff.
This is the `noncommutative Yang-Mills theory', invented by Connes in 1980, a theory of vector bosons on a rigid space-time in which the space derivatives have a nonzero commutator characterized by a fixed antisymmetric matrix.
Randall and Sundrum [4] and Gogberashvili (hep-ph/9812296) observed that, in this scenario, the stretching due to the curvature of the anti-de Sitter space moves quantum fluctuations on the second brane to much lower energy, in fact, to arbitrarily low energy as the separation of the branes is increased.

The trivial topology, periodically identified anti de Sitter space, fills in the torus, but so also do non-trivial topologies, the best known of which is Schwarzschild anti de Sitter.
The action of an anti de Sitter like space, with a boundary at infinity, would be infinite, so one has to regularize.

As it turns out, everyone's right, according to his or her own definition of "de Sitter space" and "spatially finite." When cosmologists talk about de Sitter space, we slice it up into constant-time hypersurfaces that are spatially flat and infinite.

It is shown that the maximal number of first-order symmetry operators for the Dirac equation (including spin symmetries), both in arbitrary signature flat space and in de Sitter space, is equal.
The isomorphic representation of 11-dimensional nonlinear symmetry algebra (W-algebra) of first-order operators for the Dirac operator in flat space and de Sitter space is considered.
As an example, we consider a model of asymptotically flat space that is glued from the de Sitter space and flat space.

 De Sitter on My Mind | Musings
Recall that we are in asymptotically de Sitter space, that is, we consider only metrics which approach the de Sitter metric at timelike-infinity.
In de Sitter space, local observers fall out of causal contact if you wait long enough, so the formulation of the quantum theory ought to involve a choice of a particular local observer.
In this conjectured way of formulating quantum gravity in asymptotically de Sitter space, they simply don’t act as operators on the Hilbert space, as the Hilbert space is somehow based on the physics as seen by a local observer following the worldline γ.

 Brane - Interview with Dr. Igor Klebanov
Anti-de Sitter space, or AdS space, is a negatively curved space, where again the curvature is the same everywhere.
It is one of these classic spaces that people have been studying for many, many years, one of the simplest curved spaces in the books.
So basically the formulation of this anti-de Sitter space/conformal field theory correspondence in its most crystallized form is attributed to three papers: the one by Maldacena, the one by us, and another one by Witten.

 de Sitter model concept from the Astronomy knowledge base   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
has definition A particular solution to Einstein's cosmological equations, found by Wilhelm de Sitter in 1917, in which space expands at a rapid, exponential rate.
This solution was very different from the solutions of Friedmann and of Lemaitre, in which the universe expands at a much slower rate (a rate with the distance between any two points increasing as something between the square root of time and linearly with time).
Recent modifications of the big bang model, such as the inflationary universe model, propose that the universe went through a period of exponential growth, or a de Sitter phase, early in its evolution.
