Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss some interesting new properties of geodesic bit threads in static backgrounds.  Bit threads are an insightful tool for investigating holographic entanglement entropy, providing a reformulation of the Ryu-Takayanagi formula in terms of the maximal flux of a bounded and divergenceless vector field.  An explicit realization of bit threads is given by geodesic bit threads. I will show that for a spherical region on the boundary and in hyperbolic black holes or Schwarzschild AdS black brane, the flux of geodesic bit threads hitting the event horizon provides the holographic thermal entropy, i.e. the product of a thermal entropy density with the volume of the spherical region. I will then discuss what happens for the strip, where this property is not observed, and in the BTZ black hole, where geodesic bit threads cannot be constructed.
