We propose a method to define a-dimensional geometry from a-dimensional quantum field theory in theexpansion. We first construct a-dimensional field theory from the-dimensional one via the gradient-flow equation, whose flow timerepresents the energy scale of the system such thatcorresponds to the ultraviolet andto the infrared. We then define the induced metric from-dimensional field operators. We show that the metric defined in this way becomes classical in the large-limit, in the sense that quantum fluctuations of the metric are suppressed asdue to the large-factorization property. As a concrete example, we apply our method to thenonlinearmodel in two dimensions. We calculate the 3D induced metric, which is shown to describe an anti-de Sitter space in the massless limit. Finally, we discuss several open issues for future studies.
