Bit threads provide an alternative description of holographic entanglement, replacing the Ryu-Takayanagi minimal surface with bulk curves connecting pairs of boundary points. We use bit threads to prove the monogamy of mutual information…

We generalize bit threads to hyperthreads in the context of holographic spacetimes. We define a "$k$-thread" to be a hyperthread which connects $k$ different boundary regions and posit that it may be considered as a unit of $k$-party…
