Multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz
(MERA)
• Part I: variational ansatz for ground states of CFTs
(on the lattice)
• Part II: by-product of coarse-graining the Euclidean path integral
Summary
TNR →MERA
MERA ~ CFT
MERA ↔ holography

Tensor network for ground state/Hilbert space of CFT, organized in extra dimension corresponding to scale
MERA operates at scale of AdS radius For smaller scale?→ cMERA
MERA = RG
scaling dimension Δ
boundary bulk
state of CFT(or Hilbert space of CFT)
tensor network (?)(or unitary map, EHM)
mass ~Δ
global on-sitesymmetry(e.g. 𝑍2)
local/gauge symmetry(e.g. 𝑍2)
entanglement entropy
“minimal connecting surface”
dictionary
Useful test bed
e.g. for Ising model
generic CFT (no large N, strong interactions)
Generalized notion of holographic description?
