Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method of fixing the leading behaviors of three dimensional geometries from the dual CFT2_2 entanglement entropies. We employ only the holographic principle and do not use any assumption about the AdS/CFT correspondence and bulk geometry. Our strategy involves using both UV and IR-like CFT2_2 entanglement entropies to fix the bulk geodesics. With a simple trick, the metric can be extracted from the geodesics. As examples, we fix the leading behaviors of the pure AdS3_3 metric from the entanglement entropies of free CFT2_2 and, more importantly, the BTZ black hole from the entanglement entropies of finite temperature CFT2_2. Consequently, CFT2_2 with finite size or topological defects can be determined through simple transformations. Following the same steps, in principle, the leading behaviors of all three dimensional (topologically distinct) holographic classical geometries from the dual CFT2_2 entanglement entropies can be fixed.
