abstract

In this letter we define a natural generalization of the von Neumann entropy to multiple parties that is symmetric with respect to all the parties. We call this measure multi-entropy. We show that for conformal field theories with holographic duals, the multi-entropy is computed by the area of an appropriate "soap-film" anchored on the boundary. We conjecture the quantum version of this prescription that takes into account the sub-leading corrections in G_N.

Multi-entropy in random tensor networks

hep-th · 2026-06-03 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

For n=2, Rényi multi-entropies in RTNs are determined by minimal multiway cuts; the minimal multiway cut conjecture fails for integer n>2 with explicit counterexamples.

Probing chiral topological states with permutation defects

quant-ph · 2025-12-04 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Permutation defects between wavefunction replicas yield multipartite entanglement measures that capture the chiral central charge from bulk states in chiral topological phases.

Genuine Multi-Entropy in the Toric Code

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

Genuine multi-entropy in the toric code reduces to topological entanglement entropy for stabilizer states at low replica index but captures independent topological data at n=4 and for non-stabilizer states.

On a mixed-state extension of the holographic signal inequality

hep-th · 2026-05-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Generalizes the holographic signal inequality to mixed states, finds violations due to vanishing Markov gap in some geometries, restores it on canonical purification, and conjectures a new inequality.

Genuine multientropy, dihedral invariants and Lifshitz theory

hep-th · 2025-08-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Authors derive genuine multientropy for Lifshitz states as mutual information plus negativity, obtain its non-integer Rényi continuation, and prove dihedral invariants equal Rényi reflected entropies for general tripartite pure states.

The Entanglement Wedge Polygon

hep-th · 2026-06-19 · conditional · novelty 5.0

The entanglement wedge polygon volume is proposed as a holographic probe of multipartite entanglement; in AdS3 it is topologically quantized, and a mixed-state generalization is constructed.

Multi-entropy in heavy local quenches

hep-th · 2026-06-10 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Genuine multi-entropy in heavy local quenches in 2D holographic CFTs is kinematically fixed to logarithms of rational functions of time, independent of heavy operator dimension, due to global saddle selection in the geodesic network.

Constraints on four-party entanglement in holography

hep-th · 2026-05-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

In time-reflection-symmetric holographic states, I3 implies vanishing of multiple four-party entanglement measures and bounds those from multi-entropy, though Q4 is not quantitatively bounded by I3.

Separability from Multipartite Measures

quant-ph · 2026-05-03 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

Third-order negativity is a necessary and sufficient criterion for full separability of tripartite pure states and extends to mixed states and qudits.
