Topological shadows and complexity of islands in multiboundary wormholes

Recently, remarkable progress in recovering the Page curve of an evaporating black hole (BH) in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity has been achieved through use of Quantum Extremal surfaces (QES). Multi-boundary Wormhole (MbW) models have been crucial in parallel model building in three dimensions. Motivated by this we here use the latter models to compute the subregion complexity of the Hawking quanta of the evaporating BH in AdS$_{3}$ and obtain the Page curve associated with this information theoretic measure. We use three- and $n$-boundary wormhole constructions to elucidate our computations of volumes below the Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi (HRT) surfaces at different times. Time is represented by the growing length of the throat horizons corresponding to smaller exits of the multi-boundary wormhole and the evaporating bigger exit shrinks with evolving time. We track the change in choice of HRT surfaces with time and plot the volume with time. The smooth transition of Page curve is realized by a discontinuous jump at Page time in volume subregion complexity plots and the usual Page transition is realized as a phase transition due to the inclusion of the island in this context. We discuss mathematical intricacies and physical insights regarding the inclusion of the extra volume at Page time. The analysis is backed by calculations and lessons from kinematic space and tensor networks.

Multipartite Purification, Multiboundary Wormholes and Islands in AdS$_{3}$/CFT$_{2}$

The holographic duals of Entanglement of Purification through the Entanglement Wedge Cross Section has been a well-discussed topic in the literature recently. More general entanglement measures involving multipartite information and their holographic duals have also been proposed. On the other hand, the recent intriguing program reproducing the Page Curve in Black hole entropy using the notion of islands has also been an obvious issue of attraction. A toy model involving Multiboundary wormholes in AdS$_{3}$ was able to capture many interesting facts about such calculations. In such a toy model, the notion of islands was intuitively connected to quantum error correction. We try to bridge the ideas of the two programs especially in AdS$_{3}$/CFT$_{2}$ and give a description of the islands in terms of multipartite entanglement of purification. This clarifies a few simplified assumptions made while describing the toy model and also enables us to understand the familiar information paradox within the framework of the same model.

Entanglement Entropy and Subregion Complexity in Thermal Perturbations around Pure-AdS Spacetime

We compute the holographic entanglement entropy and subregion complexity of spherical boundary subregions in the uncharged and charged AdS black hole backgrounds, with the \textbf{change} in these quantities being defined with respect to the pure AdS result. This calculation is done perturbatively in the parameter $\frac{R}{z_{\rm h}}$, where $z_{\rm h}$ is the black hole horizon and $R$ is the radius of the entangling region. We provide analytic formulae for these quantities as functions of the boundary spacetime dimension $d$ including several orders higher than previously computed. We observe that the change in entanglement entropy has definite sign at each order and subregion complexity has a negative sign relative to entanglement entropy at each of those orders (except at first order or in three spacetime dimensions, where it vanishes identically). We combine pre-existing work on the "complexity equals volume" conjecture and the conjectured relationship between Fisher information and bulk entanglement to suggest a refinement of the so-called first law of entanglement thermodynamics by introducing a work term associated with complexity. This extends the previously proposed first law, which held to first order, to one which holds to second order. We note that the proposed relation does not hold to third order and speculate on the existence of additional information-theoretic quantities that may also play a role.

Holographic Entanglement Entropy, Subregion Complexity and Fisher Information metric of `black' Non-SUSY D3 Brane

The BPS D3 brane has a non-supersymmetric cousin, called the non-susy D3 brane, which is also a solution of type IIB string theory. The corresponding counterpart of black D3 brane is the `black' non-susy D3 brane and like the BPS D3 brane, it also has a decoupling limit, where the decoupled geometry (in the case we are interested, this is asymptotically AdS$_5$ $\times$ S$^5$) is the holographic dual of a non-conformal, non-supersymmetric QFT in $(3+1)$-dimensions. In this QFT we compute the entanglement entropy (EE), the complexity and the Fisher information metric holographically using the above mentioned geometry for spherical subsystems. The fidelity and the Fisher information metric have been calculated from the regularized extremal volume of the codimension one time slice of the bulk geometry using two different proposals in the literature. Although for AdS black hole both the proposals give identical results, the results differ for the non-supersymmetric background.

Holographic entanglement entropy and entanglement thermodynamics of `black' non-susy D3 brane

Like BPS D3 brane, the non-supersymmetric (non-susy) D3 brane of type IIB string theory is also known to have a decoupling limit and leads to a non-supersymmetric AdS/CFT correspondence. The throat geometry in this case represents a QFT which is neither conformal nor supersymmetric. The `black' version of the non-susy D3 brane in the decoupling limit describes a QFT at finite temperature. Here we first compute the entanglement entropy for small subsystem of such QFT from the decoupled geometry of `black' non-susy D3 brane using holographic technique. Then we study the entanglement thermodynamics for the weakly excited states of this QFT from the asymptotically AdS geometry of the decoupled `black' non-susy D3 brane. We observe that for small subsystem this background indeed satisfies a first law like relation with a universal (entanglement) temperature inversely proportional to the size of the subsystem and an (entanglement) pressure normal to the entangling surface. Finally we show how the entanglement entropy makes a cross-over to the thermal entropy at high temperature.
