Timelike and gravitational anomalous entanglement from the inner horizon

In the context of the AdS _3 <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi/> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:msub> </mml:math> /CFT _2 <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi/> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msub> </mml:math> , the boundary causal development and the entanglement wedge of any boundary spacelike interval can be mapped to a thermal CFT _2 <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi/> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msub> </mml:math> and a Rindler \widetilde{\text{AdS}_3} <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:mover> <mml:msub> <mml:mtext mathvariant="normal">AdS</mml:mtext> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:mo accent="true">̃</mml:mo> </mml:mover> </mml:math> respectively via certain boundary and bulk Rindler transformations. Nevertheless, the Rindler mapping is not confined in the entanglement wedges. While the outer horizon of the Rindler \widetilde{\text{AdS}_3} <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:mover> <mml:msub> <mml:mtext mathvariant="normal">AdS</mml:mtext> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:mo accent="true">̃</mml:mo> </mml:mover> </mml:math> is mapped to the RT surface, we also identify the pre-image of the inner horizon in the original AdS _3 <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi/> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:msub> </mml:math> , which we call the inner RT surface. In this paper we give some new physical interpretation for the inner RT surface. First, the inner RT surface breaks into two pieces which anchor on the two tips of the causal development. Furthermore, we can take the two tips as the endpoints of a certain timelike interval and the inner RT surface is exactly the spacelike geodesic that represents the real part of the so-called holographic timelike entanglement entropy (HTEE). We also identify a timelike geodesic at boundary of the extended entanglement wedge, which represents the imaginary part of the HTEE. Second, in the duality between the topological massive gravity (TMG) and gravitational anomalous CFT _2 <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi/> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msub> </mml:math> , the entanglement entropy and the mixed state correlation that is dual to the entanglement wedge cross section (EWCS) receive correction from the Chern-Simons term in the TMG. We find that, the correction to the holographic entanglement entropy can be reproduced by the area of the inner RT surface with a proper regulation, while the mixed state correlation can be represented by the saddle geodesic chord connecting the two pieces of the inner RT surface of the mixed state we consider, which we call the inner EWCS. The equivalence between the twist on the RT surface and the length of inner RT surface is also discussed.
