Holography in (2+1)-dimensional cosmological models

The cosmic holographic principle suggested by Fischler and Susskind has been examined in (2+1)-dimensional cosmological models. Analogously to the (3+1)-dimensional counterpart, the holographic principle is satisfied in all flat and open universes. For (2+1)-dimensional closed universes the holographic principle cannot be realized in general. The principle cannot be maintained, neither introducing negative pressure matter nor matter with highly unconventional equation of state.
