Title:
A Generalized Protocol for Bulk Reconstruction from Generalized Free Fields

Speaker:
Tamra Nebabu

Abstract:
Bulk reconstruction is an important step in establishing the dictionary between boundary and bulk quantities in holographic theories. If the starting point is a quantum theory which serves as the putative boundary model, in what cases can one construct a bulk dual description? I will discuss recent work in which we devise a generalized protocol for constructing a bulk theory from any boundary model of generalized free fields. Unlike HKLL reconstruction, the bulk geometry and dynamics are fully emergent. I will discuss the application of our protocol to construct bulk descriptions for various SYK models beyond the conformal limit in which they are known to have a canonical dual. I will show evidence of that some geometric features of the canonical bulk survive in the non-conformal limit, and remark on the ability to extend the protocol to explore emergent bulk physics in more general settings.
