Multipartite Purification, Multiboundary Wormholes and Islands in AdS$_{3}$/CFT$_{2}$

Abstract: The holographic duals of Entanglement of Purification through the Entanglement Wedge Cross Section has been a well-discussed topic in the literature recently. More general entanglement measures involving multipartite information and their holographic duals have also been proposed. On the other hand, the recent intriguing program reproducing the Page Curve in Black hole entropy using the notion of islands has also been an obvious issue of attraction. A toy model involving Multiboundary wormholes in AdS${3}$ was able to capture many interesting facts about such calculations. In such a toy model, the notion of islands was intuitively connected to quantum error correction. We try to bridge the ideas of the two programs especially in AdS${3}$/CFT$_{2}$ and give a description of the islands in terms of multipartite entanglement of purification. This clarifies a few simplified assumptions made while describing the toy model and also enables us to understand the familiar information paradox within the framework of the same model.
