Holographic Complexity Equals Bulk Action

TLDR
The hypothesis that black holes are the fastest computers in nature is discussed and the conjecture that the quantum complexity of a holographic state is dual to the action of a certain spacetime region that is called a Wheeler-DeWitt patch is illustrated.
Abstract
We conjecture that the quantum complexity of a holographic state is dual to the action of a certain spacetime region that we call a Wheeler-DeWitt patch. We illustrate and test the conjecture in the context of neutral, charged, and rotating black holes in anti-de Sitter spacetime, as well as black holes perturbed with static shells and with shock waves. This conjecture evolved from a previous conjecture that complexity is dual to spatial volume, but appears to be a major improvement over the original. In light of our results, we discuss the hypothesis that black holes are the fastest computers in nature.

Holographic complexity in charged supersymmetric black holes

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the chiral anomaly on the complexity of the boundary quantum system has been studied and it has been shown that the late-time growth rate of the holographic complexity is given by a difference between the value of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Phi}}}_{H}Q+{mathrm{ensureMath{\Omega}}}_{J}J$ on the inner and outer horizons.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rate equation for the dynamics of the k-state probabilities in embedded random ensembles is derived based on unitarity through detailed balance, and a series of short and long time scales controlling the out of equilibrium dynamics of this model is presented.

Black holes and the butterfly effect

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used holography to study sensitive dependence on initial conditions in strongly coupled field theories and showed that the effect of the early infalling quanta relative to the t = 0 slice creates a shock wave that destroys the local two-sided correlations present in the unperturbed state.

The String landscape, black holes and gravity as the weakest force

TL;DR: In this paper, an upper bound on the strength of gravity relative to gauge forces in quantum gravity was given, motivated by arguments involving holography and absence of remnants, the stability of black holes as well as the non-existence of global symmetries in string theory.

Dimensional reduction in quantum gravity

TL;DR: In this article, Abdus Salam argued that the observable degrees of freedom can best be described as if they were Boolean variables defined on a two-dimensional lattice, evolving with time.
