Abstract
In 5D relativity, the usual 4D cosmological constant is determined by the extra dimension. If the extra dimension is spacelike, one can get a positive cosmological constant Λ and a 4D de Sitter (dS) space. In this paper we present that, if the extra dimension is timelike oppositely, the negative Λ will be emerged and the induced 4D space will be an asymptotic Anti-de Sitter (AdS). Under the minimum assumption, we solve the Kaluza-Klein equation RAB=0 in a canonical system and obtain the AdS solution in a general case. The result shows that an AdS space is induced naturally from a Kaluza-Klein manifold on a hypersurface (brane). The Lagrangian of test particle indicates the equation of motion can be geodesics if the 4D metric is independent of extra dimension. The causality is well respected because it is appropriately defined by a null higher dimensional interval. In this 5D relativity, the holographic principle can be used safely because the brane is asymptotic Euclidean AdS in the bulk. We also explore some possible holographic duality implications about the field/operator correspondence and the two-points correlation functions.
