abstract

The holographic principle suggests that the low energy effective field theory of gravity, as used to describe perturbative quantum fields about some background has far too many states. It is then natural that any quantum error correcting code with such a quantum field theory as the code subspace is not isometric. We discuss how this framework can naturally arise in an algebraic QFT treatment of a family of CFT with a large-$N$ limit described by the single trace sector. We show that an isometric code can be recovered in the $N \rightarrow \infty$ limit when acting on fixed states in the code Hilbert space. Asymptotically isometric codes come equipped with the notion of simple operators and nets of causal wedges. While the causal wedges are additive, they need not satisfy Haag duality, thus leading to the possibility of non-trivial entanglement wedge reconstructions. Codes with complementary recovery are defined as having extensions to Haag dual nets, where entanglement wedges are well defined for all causal boundary regions. We prove an asymptotic version of the information disturbance trade-off theorem and use this to show that boundary theory causality is maintained by net extensions. We give a characterization of the existence of an entanglement wedge extension via the asymptotic equality of bulk and boundary relative entropy or modular flow. While these codes are asymptotically exact, at fixed $N$ they can have large errors on states that do not survive the large-$N$ limit. This allows us to fix well known issues that arise when modeling gravity as an exact codes, while maintaining the nice features expected of gravity, including, among other things, the emergence of non-trivial von Neumann algebras of various types.

Introduces the category of matricial order operator spaces, proves duality between normality and generation, describes minimal/maximal structures, and equips examples including operator systems, C*-algebras, Schatten spaces, and Banach lattices.

Phase transitions and uberholography of holographic pure-state geometries

hep-th · 2026-07-08 · conditional · novelty 6.0

A cross-ratio threshold relation η'/η = e^{ΔH/2} governs entanglement-wedge phase transitions on pure-state holographic geometries, and uberholography's fractal dimension α ≈ 0.786 persists on asymptotic boundaries but not on RT-boundary geodesics.

Pseudorandom Dynamics in the SYK Model and Cryptographic Censorship in JT Gravity

hep-th · 2026-05-24 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

SYK disorder is shown to be an approximate unitary k-design for poly(N) k; under the planted-SYK hardness conjecture this yields gravitationally pseudorandom unitaries, implying cryptographic censorship in JT gravity with the regularized maximal geodesic length as distinguisher.

Searching for emergent spacetime in spin glasses

Spectral functions of SYK, p-spin, and SU(M) Heisenberg models show exponential tails in spin-glass phases and quasiparticle families in spin-liquid phases, with a proof that exponential decay blocks detection of bulk causal structure.
