Regularizations of Action-Complexity for a Pure BTZ Black Hole Microstate

In the action-complexity proposal there are two different methods to regularize the gravitational on-shell action, which are equivalent in the framework of AdS/CFT. In this paper, we want to study the equivalence of them for a pure BTZ black hole microstate. The microstate is obtained from a two-sided BTZ black hole truncated by a dynamical timelike ETW brane. Moreover, it is dual to a finite energy pure state in a two-dimensional CFT. We show that if one includes the timelike counterterms inspired by holographic renormalization as well as the Gibbons-Hawking-York term on the timelike boundary of the WDW patch, which exists in one of the regularizations, the coefficients of the UV divergent terms of action-complexity in the two methods become equal to each other. Furthermore, we compare the finite terms of action-complexity in both regularizations, and show that when the UV cutoff surface is close enough to the asymptotic boundary of the bulk spacetime, action-complexities in both regularizations become exactly equal to each other.
