On the time dependence of holographic complexity in a dynamical Einstein-dilaton model

We study the holographic “complexity=action’” (CA) and “complexity=volume” (CV) proposals in Einstein-dilaton gravity in all spacetime dimensions. We analytically construct an infinite family of black hole solutions and use CA and CV proposals to investigate the time evolution of the complexity. Using the CA proposal, we find dimensional dependent violation of the Lloyd bound in early as well as in late times. Moreover, depending on the parameters of the theory, the bound violation relative to the conformal field theory result can be tailored in the early times as well. In contrast to the CA proposal, the CV proposal in our model yields results similar to those obtained in the literature.
