Some Information Theoretic Aspects of De-Sitter Holography

TL;DR

This paper explores various information theoretic measures in de-Sitter holography, revealing insights into the dual field theory's degrees of freedom, chaos, and complexity, and addressing puzzles through the surface/state correspondence.

Contribution

It provides new analysis of entanglement entropy, entanglement of purification, and complexity in dS holography, proposing solutions to existing puzzles and connecting deformations to quantum circuits.

Findings

Entanglement entropy indicates the nature of degrees of freedom.

EE suggests the dual field theory may be chaotic or non-integrable.

Complexity=Volume does not work for pure dS but does for deformed cases.

Abstract

Built on our observation that entangling surfaces of the boundary field theory are great co-dimension one spheres in the context of DS/dS correspondence, we study some information theoretic quantities of the field theory dual intensively using holographic proposals. We will focus on entanglement entropy (EE), entanglement of purification (EoP) and complexity. Several fundamental observations and analysis are provided. For EE, we focus on its scaling behavior, which indicates the nature of the relevant degrees of freedom. Moreover, we find that EE provides us with important information of the energy spectrum in pure dS and it also leads us to the speculation that the field theory dual is chaotic or non-integrable. For EoP, an interesting phenomenon we call "Entanglement of Purification Jump" is observed according to which we propose two puzzles regarding EoP and EE in the context of dS holography. For complexity, we find that the Complexity=Volume proposal does not provide a well-defined way to compute complexity for pure dS. However, it does provide a well-defined way to compute complexity in the $T\bar{T}+\Lambda_{2}$ deformed case. At the end, we will use the surface/state correspondence to resolve all the puzzles and hence reach a consistent information theoretic picture of dS holography. Moreover, we will provide evidence for our former proposal that the $T\bar{T}+\cdots$ deformations are operating quantum circuits and study the non-locality of the field theory algebra suggested by the surface/state correspondence.
