Description
Summary:We consider a free theory of multiple scalar fields at finite temperature and study the induced geometry defined through a free flow of the scalar fields, following the method proposed by the present authors as a possible candidate of the constructive approach for AdS/CFT correspondence. We find that the holographic metric has the following properties: i) It is an asymptotic Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black brane metric with some unknown matter contribution. ii) It has no coordinate singularity and milder curvature singularity. iii) Its time component decays exponentially at a certain AdS radial slice. We find that the matter spreads all over the space, which we speculate to be due to thermal excitation of infinitely many massless higher spin fields. We conjecture that the above three are generic features of a black hole holographically realized by the flow equation method.
