Saddle Incompatibility Generates Genuine Multientropy in Heavy Local Quenches

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We study the time evolution of tripartite genuine multientropy in heavy local quenches via AdS${}_3$/CFT${}_2$. Its linear response around the vacuum cancels pointwise for arbitrary adjacent intervals. At finite backreaction, the vacuum-subtracted genuine multientropy arises only from an incompatibility gap between the triplet of windings selected by the trivalent geodesic network and the windings selected independently by the bipartite geodesics. The heavy-light vacuum-block calculation reproduces the same formula from the boundary perspective. The time dependence is kinematically fixed and is independent of the heavy operator dimension. These results show that the genuine multipartite entanglement is controlled by global saddle transition rather than by local energy response or quasiparticle propagation.
