Abstract

We continue our study about the half-wormhole proposal. By generalizing the original proposal of half-wormhole we propose a new way to detect half-wormholes. The crucial idea is to decompose the observables into self-averaged sector and non-self-averaged sectors. We find the contributions from different sectors have interesting statistics in the semi-classical limit. In particular, dominant sectors tend to condense and the condensation explains the emergence of half-wormholes and we expect that the appearance of condensation is a signal of possible bulk description. We also initiate the study of multi-linked-half-wormholes using our approach.
