Holographic Entanglement Entropy - 9

Here is the overall view of the CPW=Chandrasekaran-Penington-Witten paper.

1. Leutheusser-Liu studied large N limit of thermal correlation functions of single trace CFT operators.

2. Further progress was made by Witten in Gravity and Crossed Product [arXiv:2112.12828[hep-th]]. This converts the Type III von Neumann algebras to Type II(infinity) algebra.

3. Above construction has a limitation and what CPW do first is to remove it.

4. Then they go over to the GSL=Generalized Second Law of blackhole thermodynamics.

5. Finally they apply their results to a thought experiment with black holes and wormholes.
