Multipartite reflected entropy

Abstract We discuss two methods that, through a combination of cyclically gluing copies of a given n-party boundary state in AdS/CFT and a canonical purification, creates a bulk geometry that contains a boundary homologous minimal surface with area equal to 2 or 4 times the n-party entanglement wedg...
