Description

To elucidate the AdS/CFT dictionary, it is useful to consider fully general time-dependent situations, and use general covariance as a guide in constructing a map. One particularly interesting quantity, potentially revealing the underlying structure of bulk geometry, is entanglement. In case of holographic entanglement entropy in static situations, Headrick and Freedman have recently proposed an alternative to the Ryu-Takayanagi (entanglement entropy = minimal surface area) prescription. In this talk I will discuss covariant versions of this proposal.
