Abstract

This work demonstrates that the effective quantum theory of near horizon (NH) regions of spacetimes with classical spatially flat Friedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) geometry is a two-dimensional (2D) conformal field theory (CFT). The effect is due to huge redshifts suffered by horizon fluctuations which allow only massless fluctuations to survive.
