We consider subregion complexity within the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence. We rewrite the volume proposal, according to which the complexity of a reduced density matrix is given by the spacetime volume contained inside the associated Ryu-Takayanagi (RT) surface, in terms of an integral over the curvature. Using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem we evaluate this quantity for general entangling regions and temperature. In particular, we find that the discontinuity that occurs under a change in the RT surface is given by a fixed topological contribution, independent of the temperature or details of the entangling region. We offer a definition and interpretation of subregion complexity in the context of tensor networks, and show numerically that it reproduces the qualitative features of the holographic computation in the case of a random tensor network using its relation to the Ising model. Finally, we give a prescription for computing subregion complexity directly in CFT using the kinematic space formalism, and use it to reproduce some of our explicit gravity results obtained at zero temperature. We thus obtain a concrete matching of results for subregion complexity between the gravity and tensor network approaches, as well as a CFT prescription.

  1. Complexity Inequalities for Quantum Subsystems

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Introduces tripartite complexity and complexity gap for three-region subsystems and reports that the gap has a definite sign in holographic volume complexity, Fisher-Rao Gaussian complexity, and Krylov-space approaches.

  2. The Entanglement Wedge Polygon

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper defines the entanglement wedge polygon as the intersection of entanglement wedges external to individual homology regions and studies its topological and geometric properties in AdS examples.

  3. Timelike Holographic Complexity

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Timelike subregion complexity within the holographic Complexity=Volume conjecture is computed for pure AdS and AdS black branes; it is purely real and shares the spacelike UV divergence structure.

  4. Volume as an index of a subalgebra

    hep-th 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Proposes that the exponential of the maximal volume slice in AdS equals the index of inclusion of boundary subalgebras, but the supplied text is an unrelated astrochemistry paper.

  5. Learning shadows to predict quantum ground state correlations

    quant-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The manuscript body does not match the claimed paper: the abstract promises a shadow-tomography ground-state scheme, while the text is the Leutheusser-Liu preprint on bulk volume and subalgebra indices.

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Holographic entanglement is represented by geodesic threads whose fluxes equal half conditional mutual information, and kinematic space is treated as the input board of a quantum circuit that reproduces holographic co...
