We consider the gravity dual of the modular Hamiltonian associated to a general subregion of a boundary theory. We use it to argue that the relative entropy of nearby states is given by the relative entropy in the bulk, to leading order in the bulk gravitational coupling. We also argue that the boundary modular flow is dual to the bulk modular flow in the entanglement wedge, with implications for entanglement wedge reconstruction.

    Covariant phase space analysis shows tensionless open strings in constant Kalb-Ramond background have purely boundary-supported phase space with noncommutative endpoint coordinates, recovering Seiberg-Witten noncommut...

  2. Probing the Factorized Island Branch with the Capacity of Entanglement in JT Gravity

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In JT gravity, the capacity of entanglement detects finite-n structure in the factorized island saddle that the entropy misses at first nontrivial order.

  3. Semiclassical algebraic reconstruction for type III algebras

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Semiclassical crossed product constructions extend the algebraic reconstruction theorem to type III algebras and yield an algebraic Ryu-Takayanagi formula for holographic duality.
