A class of connections governing parallel transport along density matrices

Jochen Dittmann, Gerd Rudolph

A class of connections governing parallel transport along nondegenerate density matrices is discussed. These connections are given by certain analytic functions. We develop a calculus for operator-valued differential forms, which enables us to calculate the curvature of these connections. The class under consideration contains a non-Abelian generalization of Berry’s phase recently proposed by Uhlmann.

The holographic dual of the entanglement wedge symplectic form

Josh Kirklin

A bstract In this paper, we find the boundary dual of the symplectic form for the bulk fields in any entanglement wedge. The key ingredient is Uhlmann holonomy, which is a notion of parallel transport of purifications of density matrices based on a maximisation of transition probabilities. Using a replica trick, we compute this holonomy for curves of reduced states in boundary subregions of holographic QFTs at large N , subject to changes of operator insertions on the boundary. It is shown that the Berry phase along Uhlmann parallel paths may be written as the integral of an abelian connection whose curvature is the symplectic form of the entanglement wedge. This generalises previous work on holographic Berry curvature.
