Nonlocal multi-trace sources and bulk entanglement in holographic conformal field theories

Abstract We consider CFT states defined by adding nonlocal multi-trace sources to the Euclidean path integral defining the vacuum state. For holographic theories, we argue that these states correspond to states in the gravitational theory with a good semiclassical description but with a more general...
