Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

Cryptographic tests of the python's lunch conjecture
Michelle Xu
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: In AdS/CFT, a spacetime geometry is said to contain a python's lunch when there exist choices of boundary regions with associated entanglement wedges that contain locally but not globally minimal surfaces. Previously, such geometries have...
