abstract

We study the boundary description of the volume of maximal Cauchy slices using the recently derived equivalence between bulk and boundary symplectic forms. The volume of constant mean curvature slices is known to be canonically conjugate to "York time". We use this to construct the boundary deformation that is conjugate to the volume in a handful of examples, such as empty AdS, a backreacting scalar condensate, or the thermofield double at infinite time. We propose a possible natural boundary interpretation for this deformation and use it to motivate a concrete version of the complexity=volume conjecture, where the boundary complexity is defined as the energy of geodesics in the K\"ahler geometry of half sided sources. We check this conjecture for Ba\~nados geometries and a mini-superspace version of the thermofield double state. Finally, we show that the precise dual of the quantum information metric for marginal scalars is given by a particularly simple symplectic flux, instead of the volume as previously conjectured.

Universal Time Evolution of Holographic and Quantum Complexity

hep-th · 2025-07-31 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Holographic complexity measures show universal linear growth followed by late-time saturation, proven necessary and sufficient via pole structures in the energy basis using the residue theorem, arising from random matrix statistics.

Toward Krylov-based holography in double-scaled SYK

hep-th · 2025-10-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Establishes a threefold duality linking Krylov complexity growth rate to wormhole velocity and proper momentum in DSSYK holography, with higher moments capturing replica wormholes and Krylov entropy equaling parent-geometry von Neumann entropy after tracing baby universes.

Covariant phase space and the semi-classical Einstein equation

hep-th · 2025-10-22 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A semi-classical symplectic two-form is defined as the sum of the gravitational symplectic form and the Berry curvature of the quantum matter state; it is shown to be independent of the Cauchy slice and to satisfy a quantum generalization of the Hollands-Iyer-Wald identity.

Inhomogeneous Jacobi equation and Holographic subregion complexity

hep-th · 2019-07-26 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A variational perturbative method using the inhomogeneous Jacobi equation computes first-order changes in holographic subregion complexity for strip and disk subsystems under boosted black brane perturbations in AdS4, with the linear term vanishing for spherical subsystems.
