Simon Ross: Multiboundary Wormholes and Holographic Entanglement

Description

I will discuss the relation of entangled states in the n-fold tensor product of a 1+1 dimensional CFT Hilbert space and black holes with n asymptotically AdS_3 regions connected by a common wormhole. This exhibits an interesting dependence on moduli: In some regions of the moduli space the entanglement is entirely multipartite, but even when the bulk is completely connected, in some regions of the moduli space the entanglement is almost entirely bipartite: significant entanglement occurs only between pairs of CFTs.
