Upper bound about cross-sections inside black holes and complexity growth rate

Abstract

This paper studies cross-sections inside black holes and conjectures a universal inequality: in a static $(d+1)$-dimensional asymptotically planar/spherical Schwarzschild-AdS spacetime of given energy $E$ and AdS radius $\ell_{\text{AdS}}$, the ``size of cross-section'' inside black holes is bounded by $8\pi E\ell_{\text{AdS}}/(d-1)$. To support this conjecture, it gives the proofs for cases with spherical/planar symmetries and some special cases without planar/spherical symmetries. As one corollary, it shows that the complexity growth rate in complexity-volume conjecture satisfies the upper bound argued by quantum information theory. This makes a first step towards proving the conjecture that the vacuum black hole has fastest complexity growth in the systems of same energy. It also finds a similar bound for asymptotically flat black holes, which gives us an estimation on the largest interior volume of a large evaporating black hole.
