Abstract

We discuss the concepts of mutual and tripartite information by referring to simple intuitive examples,
and describe their use as probes of thermalization in holographic models. We then review
our computation of these quantities in a simple time dependent model, in which energy injection
in a strongly coupled field theory is modeled by a shell of null dust falling into 3d anti-de Sitter
space. We complete those results with a discussion of the possible equilibrium phases of the
tripartite information.
