Insensitivity of the complexity rate of change to the conformal anomaly and Lloyd’s bound as a possible renormalization condition

Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: We determine the effect on the computational complexity of a conformal anomaly using the $\mathrm{complexity}=\text{action}$ prescription of the gauge/gravity correspondence. To allow the involvement of said anomaly, we extend previous studies to include arbitrary values for the anisotropic parameter and the magnetic field, respectively, on the Mateos-Trancanelli and D'Hoker-Kraus holographic models. Our main result is that the rate of change of the computational complexity is independent of the conformal anomaly in both cases. In addition, this allows us to show that, if so desired, the saturation of Lloyd's bound at infinite time can be used as a renormalization condition.
