Oddball realizations of "geometry = entanglement"

Abstract/Contents

Abstract
The four chapters of this thesis consist of three published papers to which I contributed, as well as a draft of a theorem & proof that I will be contributing to a forthcoming paper. The four subjects presented here all have, as their ur-ancestor, Mark Van Raamsdonk's observation that in holographic theories of quantum gravity, entanglement in the boundary state seems to be a prerequisite for connected geometry in the bulk state. The common goal of the four chapters of this thesis is to sniff out concrete, specific, and weird realizations of this principle.
