High Energy Theory Seminar

In this talk, I will review some of the recent progress of the holographic entropy cone (HEC) program. In particular, I will focus on an exponential speed-up of generating contraction maps, the completeness of the contraction map proof method, and a triality between holographic entropy inequalities (HEIs), contraction maps, and partial cube graphs. This enables us, in principle, to find all holographic entropy inequalities. Lastly, I will give concrete examples of the application of the HEC program to two non-holographic problems, namely, towards conjecture generation of quantum entanglement entropy inequalities and calculation of topological entanglement entropy in a TQFT.

The talk is in 469 Lauritsen.
