It is conventional to study the entanglement between spatial regions of a quantum field theory. However, in some systems entanglement can be dominated by "internal", possibly gauged, degrees of freedom that are not spatially organized, and…

We use the framework of generalized entanglement wedges to revisit the connected wedge theorem (CWT). This construction identifies an entanglement wedge associated for any bulk region and allows us to rephrase the CWT in terms of the…

Within AdS/CFT, focusing on the AdS-Rindler wedge, we show that when $N$ is large but finite, correlation functions of reconstructed bulk operators grow exponentially with bulk momentum, overwhelming the usual $1/N$ suppression. The growth…

In AdS/CFT, there can exist local 2-to-2 bulk scattering processes even when local scattering is not possible on the boundary; these have previously been studied in connection with boundary correlation functions. We show that boundary…

In a theory of quantum gravity, states can be represented as wavefunctionals that assign an amplitude to a given configuration of matter fields and the metric on a spatial slice. These wavefunctionals must obey a set of constraints as a…

The phase space of gravitational theories in asymptotically Anti-de Sitter (AAdS) spacetimes consists of geometries, matter configurations, and their conjugate momenta on a Cauchy surface, subject to the Hamiltonian, momentum, and…

We study a holographic theory of general spacetimes that does not rely on the existence of asymptotic regions. This theory is to be formulated in a holographic space. When a semiclassical description is applicable, the holographic space is…

In this Letter we prove a simple theorem in quantum information theory, which implies that bulk operators in the Anti-de Sitter / Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence can be reconstructed as CFT operators in a spatial subregion…

In this note, we explain how asymptotically globally AdS spacetimes can be given an alternate dual description as entangled states of a pair of hyperbolic space CFTs, which are associated with complementary Rindler wedges of the AdS…

We focus on a proper candidate for the entanglement wedge in asymptotically flat bulk geometries that are described by the generalized minimal massive gravity (GMMG) in the context of the flat holography. To this end, we describe the…
