Abstract

We compute the two-point functions of the scalar and graviton in a Coleman-De Luccia type instanton background in general dimensions. These are analytically continued to Lorentzian signature. We write the correlator in a form convenient for examining the "holographic" properties of this background inspired by the work of Freivogel, Sekino, Susskind and Yeh(FSSY). Based on this, we speculate on what kind of boundary theory we would have on this background if we assume that there exists a holographic duality.
