Description
Emergent gravitational von Neumann algebras, describing the observables of quantum gravity in various spacetime regions, embed naturally into some microscopic theory as a quantum error correcting code. The resulting mathematical structure naturally incorporates the large-N limit into the QEC program. I will discuss some applications including the computation of von Neumann entropies as well as constraining the stringy regime of AdS/CFT.
