A minor change: the discussion of unitarity on p.9 is clarified

Scientific paper

We discuss the duality, conjectured in earlier work, between the wave function of the multiverse and a 3D Euclidean theory on the future boundary of spacetime. In particular, we discuss the choice of the boundary metric and the relation between the UV cutoff scale xi on the boundary and the hypersurfaces Sigma on which the wave function is defined in the bulk. We propose that in the limit of xi going to 0 these hypersurfaces should be used as cutoff surfaces in the multiverse measure. Furthermore, we argue that in the inflating regions of spacetime with a slowly varying Hubble rate H the hypersurfaces Sigma are surfaces of constant comoving apparent horizon (CAH). Finally, we introduce a measure prescription (called CAH+) which appears to have no pathological features and coincides with the constant CAH cutoff in regions of slowly varying H.
