Abstract
We discuss two methods that, through a combination of cyclically gluing copies of a given n-party boundary state in AdS/CFT and a canonical purification, creates a bulk geometry that contains a boundary homologous minimal surface with area equal to 2 or 4 times the n-party entanglement wedge cross-section, depending on the parity of the party number and choice of method. The areas of the minimal surfaces are each dual to entanglement entropies that we define to be candidates for the n-party reflected entropy. In the context of AdS3/CFT2, we provide a boundary interpretation of our construction as a multiboundary wormhole, and conjecture that this interpretation generalizes to higher dimensions.
