Reflected entropy in random tensor networks. Part III. Triway cuts by Chris Akers, Thomas Faulkner, Simon Lin, Pratik Rath

“…This sheds light on the gap between the existence of tripartite entanglement in holographic states and the bipartite entanglement structure motivated by bit-threads. In particular, we prove that the Markov gap that measures tripartite entanglement is lower bounded by the integrality gap of the integer program that computes the triway cut.…”
