Description

Based on Nielsen’s geometric approach, the variation of holographic complexity for two nearby target states only depends on the end point of the optimal trajectory, a result designated as the first law of complexity. As an example, we will examine the complexity=action conjecture when the AdS vacuum is perturbed by a scalar field excitation, which corresponds to a coherent state.
