Holographic Cone of Average Entropies

Abstract

The holographic entropy cone identifies entanglement entropies of field theory regions, which are consistent with representing semiclassical spacetimes under gauge/gravity duality; it is currently known up to 5 regions. We point out that average entropies of p-partite subsystems can be similarly analyzed for arbitrarily many regions. We conjecture that the holographic cone of average entropies is simplicial and specify all its bounding inequalities. Its extreme rays combine features of bipartite and perfect tensor entanglement, and correspond to stages of unitary evaporation of old black holes.
