abstract

We initiate quantitative studies of complexity in (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theories with a view that they provide the simplest setting to find a gravity dual to complexity. Our work pursues a geometric understanding of complexity of conformal transformations and embeds Fubini-Study state complexity and direct counting of stress tensor insertion in the relevant circuits in a unified mathematical language. In the former case, we iteratively solve the emerging integro-differential equation for sample optimal circuits and discuss the sectional curvature of the underlying geometry. In the latter case, we recognize that optimal circuits are governed by Euler-Arnold type equations and discuss relevant results for three well-known equations of this type in the context of complexity.
