Entanglement entropy , conformal invariance and extrinsic geometry
We use the conformal invariance and the holographic correspondence to fully specify the dependence of entanglement entropy on the extrinsic geometry of the 2d surface Σ that separates two subsystems of quantum strongly coupled N = 4 SU(N) superconformal gauge theory. We extend this result and calculate entanglement entropy of a generic 4d conformal field theory. As a byproduct, we obtain a clos...

متن کاملConformal Invariance, Droplets, and Entanglement
Geoffrey Grimmett Abstract. Very brief surveys are presented of three topics of importance for interacting random systems, namely conformal invariance, droplets, and entanglement. For ease of description, the emphasis throughout is upon progress and open problems for the percolation model, rather than for the more general random-cluster model. Substantial recent progress has been made on each o...
متن کاملConformal Field Theory, Geometry, and Entropy
In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, an explicit relation between the physical degrees of freedom of 2+1d gravity and the stress tensor of 1+1d conformal field theory is exhibited. Gravity encodes thermodynamic state variables of conformal field theory, but does not distinguish among different CFT states with the same expectation value for the stress tensor. Simply put, gravity is ther...
متن کاملImpurity entanglement entropy in Kondo systems from conformal field theory
The entanglement entropy in Kondo impurity systems is studied analytically using conformal field theory. From the impurity contribution to the scaling corrections of the entanglement entropy we extract information about the screening cloud profile for general non-Fermi-liquid fixed points. By also considering the finite-temperature corrections to scaling of the von Neumann entropy we point out ...
