  Abstract:
Recently holographic prescriptions are proposed to compute quantum complexity of a given state in the boundary theory‎. ‎A specific proposal known as `holographic subregion complexity' is supposed to calculate the complexity of a reduced density matrix corresponding to a static subregion‎. We study different families of singular subregions in the dual field theory and find the divergence structure and universal terms of holographic subregion complexity for these singular surfaces‎. ‎We find that there is new universal terms‎, ‎logarithmic in the UV cut-off‎, ‎due to the singularities of a family of surfaces including a kink in (2+1)-dimension and cones in even dimensional field theories‎. ‎We also find examples of new divergent terms such as squared logarithm and negative powers times the logarithm of the UV cut-off parameter‎.
