Title: Derive full nonlinear Einstein equations from boundary entanglement
Plain: Small ripples of spacetime obeying Einstein's equations have been derived from rules about entanglement. The same for strongly curved spacetime has not been done.
Precise: The entanglement first law plus the Ryu-Takayanagi formula implies the linearized Einstein equations around AdS (Faulkner, Guica, Hartman, Myers, Van Raamsdonk 2014), extended to second order in 2017. Derive the full nonlinear bulk Einstein equations with matter from CFT entanglement constraints, or identify the additional input required.
Settled by: A derivation of the nonlinear Einstein equations from boundary entropy relations, or a demonstration that extra CFT input is needed.
Kind: well-posed
Answer type: proof
References: (empty)
Literature status: partially-resolved
Status note: Linear order derived in 2014 and second order in 2017; the nonlinear case is open.
