Idea

What are called tree tensor network states (TTN states) in quantum physics (specifically in solid state physics and in AdS/CFT) are those tensor network states of the form of tree, often considered of fixed valence.

For example, given a metric Lie algebra 𝔤\mathfrak{g} (with string diagram-notation as discussed there) its Lie bracket-tensor f[,]𝔤 *𝔤 *𝔤f \coloneqq [-,-] \in \mathfrak{g}^\ast \otimes \mathfrak{g}^\ast \otimes \mathfrak{g} gives rise to tree tensor network of the following form:

The tree tensor network states in the form of Bruhat-Tits trees play a special role in the AdS/CFT correspondence, either as

  1. a kind of lattice QFT-approximation to an actual boundary CFT quantum state,

  2. as the p-adic geometric incarnation of anti de Sitter spacetime in the p-adic AdS/CFT correspondence,

  3. as a reflection of actual crystal-site quantum states in AdS/CFT in solid state physics:

(As in HMSS 16, HLM 19. But maybe one wants the Poincaré-dual networks, instead, as in HMPS 18?)
