Abstract
In the context of asymptotic -to- scattering process in AdS/CFT, the Connected Wedge Theorem identifies the existence of mutual information between suitable boundary subregions, referred to as decision regions, as a necessary but not sufficient condition for bulk-only scattering processes, i.e., nonempty bulk scattering region . Recently, Liu and Leutheusser proposed an enlarged bulk scattering region and conjectured that the non-emptiness of fully characterizes the existence of mutual information between decision regions. Here, we provide a geometrical or general relativity proof for a slightly modified version of their conjecture.
