SUMMARY:"Bit threads in space and time"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Matt Headrick\, Brandeis University\n\nPart of the HE
	T Seminar Series.\n\nBit threads are a reformulation of the Ryu-Takayanagi 
	holographic entanglement entropy formula that offer several conceptual adva
	ntages over the standard minimal-surface formulation. After briefly reviewi
	ng the basic bit thread story\, I will explain how to extend them in three 
	interesting directions. First\, I will show how bit threads offer a novel p
	roof of the "monogamy of mutual information" inequality for holographic ent
	anglement entropies\, and how the proof suggests a very specific entangleme
	nt structure for holographic states. Second\, I will explain how to include
	 higher-derivative corrections. Finally\, I will explain how to make bit th
	reads covariant\, reproducing the Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi formula.
