Abstract: What are boundary interpretations of holographic complexity proposals and what are gravity duals to complexity are important open questions. I will discuss two ongoing efforts to answer them, which are based on searching for a gravity dual of a circuit cost and, through minimization of the latter object, to a gravity dual of bona fide complexity. Based on 2101.01185 and an ongoing work.

Frontiers of Holographic Duality-3

Series comments: Having been initially used as a tool to explore strongly coupled phenomena, holography found important applications and intriguing insights in the structure of quantum gravity and quantum information, linking them to certain universal properties of strongly coupled chaotic quantum systems. It provides unified geometric tools for the description of various phenomena in the heavy ions collision physics, many-body physics applications, black hole physics, and quantum information theory.

The aim is to explore a wide variety of aspects of holographic duality, bringing together specialists in main topics to have comprehensive, but intensive discussions of the frontiers of holography and closely related subjects of quantum information and strongly-coupled theory.

The topics to be discussed include holographic duality and applications:

-holographic quantum chromodynamics and heavy ions collisions; -entanglement, chaos and many-body phenomena; -black holes and quantum information.
