The Cardy–Verlinde formula and Taub–Bolt–AdS spacetimes

We consider the conformal field theory which is dual to the Taub–Bolt–AdS spacetime. It is shown that the Cardy–Verlinde formula for the entropy of the conformal field theory agrees precisely with the entropy of the Taub–Bolt–AdS spacetime, at high temperatures. This result may be viewed as providing a conformal field theory interpretation of Taub–Bolt–AdS entropy.
