Holographic Fidelity Susceptibility

Abstract

For a field theory with a gravitational dual, we study holographic fidelity susceptibility for two states related by a deformation of a relevant operator. To do so, we study back reaction of a massive scalar field on the asymptotic behavior of the metric in an Einstein gravity coupled to a massive scalar field. Identifying the two states, holographically, with the original and back reacted geometries, the corresponding holographic fidelity susceptibility is given by the difference of the volume of an extremal time slice evaluated on the original and back reacted geometries.
