Holographic conformal field theories exhibit dramatic changes in the
??structure of their operator algebras in the limit where the number
of ??local degrees of freedom (N) becomes infinite. An important
example ?of ??such phenomena is the violation of the additivity
property for ??algebras associated to local subregions. I will first
review several ??examples of superadditive algebras in quantum field
theory and then ??investigate their consequences in the context of
holographic duality. ??Specifically, I will demonstrate how the
superadditive property is ??intimately related to the success of
quantum error correcting code ??models of holography and then I will
argue that the connected wedge ??theorems (CWTs) of May, Penington,
Sorce, and Yoshida can be ??re-phrased in terms of superadditive
algebras. This re-phrasing ?allows ??for the definition of a
generalized scattering region for ?which a ??generalization of the
CWTs can be formulated such that both ?the ??theorem and its converse
should hold. |
