Bit Threads and Holographic Monogamy
read the original abstract
Bit threads provide an alternative description of holographic entanglement, replacing the Ryu-Takayanagi minimal surface with bulk curves connecting pairs of boundary points. We use bit threads to prove the monogamy of mutual information (MMI) property of holographic entanglement entropies. This is accomplished using the concept of a so-called multicommodity flow, adapted from the network setting, and tools from the theory of convex optimization. Based on the bit thread picture, we conjecture a general ansatz for a holographic state, involving only bipartite and perfect-tensor type entanglement, for any decomposition of the boundary into four regions. We also give new proofs of analogous theorems on networks.

Exploring the holographic entropy cone via reinforcement learning
Reinforcement learning finds explicit graph realizations for three of six previously unresolved extreme rays of the N=6 holographic entropy cone and supplies evidence that the other three lie outside it.

Constraints on four-party entanglement in holography
In time-reflection-symmetric holographic states, I3 is necessary for non-vanishing four-party entanglement signals, bounds multi-entropy measures, and implies vanishing of Q4.

Constraints on four-party entanglement in holography
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.
