    Abstract

    摘要

    In AdS/CFT, bulk geometries usually manifest as saddle-point objects of the boundary CFT in the holographic limit. The simplest example is the emergence of RT surfaces in computing the boundary entanglement entropy, described by the famous Ryu-Takayanagi (RT) formula. The derivation of RT formula assumes that: 1. there is only one bulk saddle-point that dominates the path-integral; 2. the relevant saddle points respect replica symmetry. In this talk, we examine scenarios where both of these assumptions fail. In particular, we study the entanglement transition for a chaotic black hole micro-state, and focus on the sharpest signature of such transition: the enhanced correction. We discuss the interplay between different saddle-points, especially the replica non-symmetric ones, in relation to the enhanced correction at the transition, and draw general lessons from this case-study.
