Abstract
In this paper, we establish connections between the reflected entropies of multipartite mixed states in CFT2 and hyperbolic string vertices of closed string field theory (CSFT). We show that the reflected surfaces, which are bulk duals of the reflected entropies, share the same Riemann surfaces with the hyperbolic string vertices. This observation enables us to build quantitative relations between the reflected entropies and hyperbolic string vertices. We illustrate the connections with several examples. Consequently, we propose that spacetime structure could be directly generated from the hyperbolic string vertices. The advantage of the hyperbolic string vertices approach is that we have a dynamical equation, the Batalin-Vilkoviski master equation, to control the generating process.
