"Lotentzian Threads for Generalized Complexity"

Abstract: Recently, an infinite class of holographic generalized complexities was proposed. These gravitational observables display the behavior required to be duals of complexity, in particular, linear growth at late times and switchback effect. I will talk about our recent work in which, we aim to understand generalized complexities in the framework of Lorentzian threads. We reformulate the problem in terms of thread distributions and measures and present a program to calculate the infinite family of codimension-one observables. We also outline a path to understand, using threads, the more subtle case of codimension-zero observables.
