Abstract: Understanding the language of holographic geometry is a difficult problem. I propose a useful set of tools to supplement our known bulk-to-boundary dictionary. These tools make use of kinematic space, an integral transform of the bulk geometry, and corresponding entropic probes in the boundary CFT. I will make connections to tensor network representations of CFT states and discuss a … Read More
