abstract

Recently holographic prescriptions are proposed to compute quantum complexity of a given state in the boundary theory. A specific proposal known as `holographic subregion complexity' is supposed to calculate the the complexity of a reduced density matrix corresponding to a static subregion. We study different families of singular subregions in the dual field theory and find the divergence structure and universal terms of holographic subregion complexity for these singular surfaces. We find that there are new universal terms, logarithmic in the UV cutoff, due to the singularities of a family of surfaces including a kink in (2+1)-dimension and cones in even dimensional field theories. We find examples of new divergent terms such as square logarithm and negative powers times the logarithm of the UV cut-off parameter.

On volume subregion complexity in Vaidya spacetime

hep-th · 2019-08-28 · conditional · novelty 6.0

In the AdS3 Vaidya geometry, the extremal volume defining holographic subregion complexity is genuinely x-dependent during the quench, so the standard x-independent ansatz fails at intermediate times; early and late time approximations are derived.
