Abstract

In this work, we continue our study of string theory in the background that interpolates between AdS3AdS_3 in the IR to flat spacetime with a linear dilaton in the UV. The boundary dual theory interpolates between a CFT2_2 in the IR to a certain two-dimensional Little String Theory (LST) in the UV. In particular, we study \emph{computational complexity} of such a theory through the lens of holography and investigate the signature of non-locality in the short distance behavior of complexity. When the cutoff UV scale is much smaller than the non-locality (Hagedorn) scale, we find exotic quadratic and logarithmic divergences (for both volume and action complexity) which are not expected in a local quantum field theory. We also generalize our computation to include the effects of finite temperature. Up to second order in finite temperature correction, we do not any find newer exotic UV-divergences compared to the zero temperature case.
