摘要

Motivated by the holographic correspondence, we study the boundary imprint of bulk lightcones in spacetimes with boundaries. These lightcones can be observed whenever a localized event takes place in the bulk. The associated boundary surfaces (hyperboloids) reveal the bulk conformal metric. We work out a Hamilton-Jacobi description of these surfaces and analyze them in explicit examples. Bulk causality translates into a boundary inclusion property from which the bulk geodesic equation can be derived under some assumptions.
