Abstract

We show how wormholes in three spacetime dimensions can be customizably warped using pressureless matter. In particular, we exhibit a large new class of solutions in (2 + 1)-dimensional general relativity with energy-momentum tensor describing a negative cosmological constant and positive-energy dust. From this class of solutions, we construct wormhole geometries and study their geometric and holographic properties, including Ryu- Takayanagi surfaces, entanglement wedge cross sections, mutual information, and outer entropy. Finally, we construct a Python’s Lunch geometry: a wormhole in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space with a local maximum in size near its middle.

Highlights

  • Geometries for AdS plus dustWe begin by deriving a new asymptotically AdS solution to the Einstein equation in 2+1 dimensions that contains pressureless dust

  • The question of quantum mechanical complexity associated with gravitational systems has been of interest for some time in the context of black holes and holography

  • Given a holographic CFT state that is dual to a two-sided black hole, such as the thermofield double, its computational complexity is dual to the length of the wormhole or to the value of the gravitational action within the Wheeler-DeWitt patch
