The authors' main claim We find that there are two kinds of contributions to the growth rate: one is from the interaction among the degrees of freedom, while the other one from the change of the spatial volume of the universe.

We investigate the holographic complexity growth rate of a conformal field theory in a FLRW universe. We consider two ways to realize a FLRW spacetime from an Anti-de Sitter Schwarzschild geometry. The first one is obtained by introducing a new foliation of the Schwarzschild geometry such that the conformal boundary takes the FLRW form. The other one is to consider a brane universe moving in the Schwarzschild background. For each case, we compute the complexity growth rate in a closed universe and a flat universe by using both the complexity-volume and complexity-action dualities. We find that there are two kinds of contributions to the growth rate: one is from the interaction among the degrees of freedom, while the other one from the change of the spatial volume of the universe. The behaviors of the growth rate depend on the details to realize the FLRW universe as well as the holographic conjecture for the complexity. For the realization of the FLRW universe on the asymptotic boundary, the leading divergent term for the complexity growth rate obeys a volume law which is natural from the field theory viewpoint. For the brane universe scenario, the complexity-volume and complexity-action conjectures give different results for the closed universe case. A possible explanation of the inconsistency when the brane crosses the black hole horizon is given based on the Lloyd bound.

The paper
Original abstract

We investigate the holographic complexity growth rate of a conformal field theory in a FLRW universe. We consider two ways to realize a FLRW spacetime from an Anti-de Sitter Schwarzschild geometry. The first one is obtained by introducing a new foliation of the Schwarzschild geometry such that the conformal boundary takes the FLRW form. The other one is to consider a brane universe moving in the Schwarzschild background. For each case, we compute the complexity growth rate in a closed universe and a flat universe by using both the complexity-volume and complexity-action dualities. We find that there are two kinds of contributions to the growth rate: one is from the interaction among the degrees of freedom, while the other one from the change of the spatial volume of the universe. The behaviors of the growth rate depend on the details to realize the FLRW universe as well as the holographic conjecture for the complexity. For the realization of the FLRW universe on the asymptotic boundary, the leading divergent term for the complexity growth rate obeys a volume law which is natural from the field theory viewpoint. For the brane universe scenario, the complexity-volume and complexity-action conjectures give different results for the closed universe case. A possible explanation of the inconsistency when the brane crosses the black hole horizon is given based on the Lloyd bound.

  • To summarize, taking the large $R_max$ condition and keeping the time $V_R$ fixed, for holographic complexity of a field on the FLRW universe being dual to a five dimensional AdS Gauss-Bonnet black hole, we come to a conclusion that its growth behavior includes the first term, as a finite term, mainly relating to the conserved charge $E$ and the second term (the leading divergent term) being proportional to the rate of the spatial volume in the dual FLRW universe as well as the third term (the sub-leading divergent term) coming from the codimension-two spatial constant curvature, whose behaviors are very like the one presented in literature [ref] .

  • Although there have been extensive studies on CV and CA conjectures from the bulk side (see, e.g. charged black holes [ref] , UV divergences [ref] , subregion complexity [ref] , time-evolution [ref] , higher derivative gravities [ref] , Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravities [ref] , Vaidya spacetimes [ref] , switchback effect and quenches [ref] , and dS/FLRW boundaries [ref] ), the difficulty to establish a convincing holographic complexity lies in the lack of unique and well-defined notion for the complexity in the field theory from the boundary side [ref] .

  • While most works on the complexity growth rate considered the static case, the generalization to the time dependent case is also quite interesting and it is worthwhile to study how the complexity evolves in a dynamical process, for related studies on the Vaidya spacetime, see Refs.
