Microstate counting from defects in de Sitter
By Jan de Boer
Appears in collection : Korea-France Joint Workshop on String Theory
I will explain how one can obtain de Sitter entropy by counting states composed of thin shells and end of the world branes, and what assumptions have to be made to make this work. If time permits, some other aspects of thin shells will be discussed as well.
