Entanglement wedges for gravitating regions
Raphael Bousso, Geoff Penington
Abstract
As part of the AdS/CFT dictionary, the entanglement wedge reconstruction identifies the spacetime region in AdS that is dual to a given CFT subregion on the boundary. In this paper, the authors make an important step forward by extending the entanglement wedge reconstruction to arbitrary spacetimes, which can reveal aspects of the full quantum theory of gravity.
