Confusion regarding the Susskind-Uglum conjecture

I have a very basic confusion regarding entropies in holography. In AdS/CFT, the Susskind-Uglum conjecture states that the generalized entropy of a bulk region, given by $$S_{\text{gen}}(A) = \frac{\...

In the context of the holographic principle, is the bulk-boundary correspondence due to entanglement?

According to the holographic principle, a "bulk" region of D dimensions corresponds to a "boundary" region of D-1 dimensions. In this context, the laws of physics of the bulk can ...

Why are asymptotically flat two-sided black holes entangled?

So I've been reading through Maldacena and Susskind's paper on ER = EPR, and I ran into a question. They start by analyzing the AdS eternal black hole, which has a thermofield double description $$|\...

Entanglement entropy with a local operator insertion

According to several papers discussing the behavior of entanglement entropy (EE) with a local quench or a local operator insertion (cf. https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.04797), if the operator was inserted ...

Holographic Entanglement Entropy for a mathematician

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate question for this site, but figured I'd give it a shot. I'm a mathematician (with an extremely limited background in physics) and have come across some ideas ...

Can we have entanglement entropy in the SYK model?

I know that defining of entanglement entropy and Ryu-Takayanagi formula in the AdS/CFT, can we define these in the SYK model?

How to compute a state exhibiting a given entanglement entropy?

We`ve known how to calculate entanglement entropy from a given ground state: make an entanglement cut (that divide system into subsystems $A$ and $B$), take the partial trace and $$S=-\operatorname{Tr}...

Holographic entanglement entropy (Thermal case)

I'm trying to calculate the entanglement entropy in CFT2/AdS3 in the thermal case for a finite interval (-a,a). I'm reading the paper of Takayanagi and Rangamani (2016): https://arxiv.org/abs/1609....

Black holes in AdS/CFT

In Swingle's work Entanglement Renormalization and Holography, he mentioned that a black hole in AdS bulk corresponds to a finite temperature boundary state. With the MERA picture of the entanglement ...

Holographic entanglement entropy for measures other than the Von Neumann entropy

In Ads-CFT, the Ryu-Takayanagi Entanglement entropy formula gives a nice geometric interpretation (in the bulk) for the entanglement of a region in a CFT. Also, it is much easier to calculate the ...

Implication of non-positive tripartite information

Hayden et al 2011 showed that tripartite information is non-positive given Ryu-Takanayagi formula. (For definition of tripartite information, see for instance section 4.4 of this paper) Is there ...

Holographic dual of a massive QFT?

A naive question about holographic dual of a massive QFT: The Ryu-Takanayagi formula for the entanglement entropy (see their paper) seem to suggest that the holographic dual of a massive QFT (e.g. a ...
