abstract

In this work we consider a particular codimension-1 region of a holographic spacetime which we call the entanglement wedge polygon (EWP). For a pure state and a partition of the boundary into a number of regions $A_i$ the EWP is defined as the region external to all the individual homology regions $r_{A_i}$ which consists of the intersection of the entanglement wedge EW($A_i$) with the time slice. In vacuum AdS$_3$ the quantity is topological as a direct consequence of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem. In higher dimensions we make progress by considering a number of concrete examples including vacuum, black brane, and soliton solutions of AdS$_{d+1}$ as well as spacetime geometries with end of the world branes dual to boundary conformal field theories. We provide a suitable generalization to mixed states and comment on possible connections between the EWP and measures of multi-partite entanglement.

Complexity Inequalities for Quantum Subsystems

hep-th · 2026-06-18 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Defines tripartite complexity and complexity gap for three-subsystem states and reports that the gap has definite sign across holographic CV, Fisher-Rao, and Krylov measures, suggesting it as a building block for complexity inequalities.

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.
