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 geometry of gravitational plane waves
It is well known that the conformal group of a non-flat vacuum pp-wave is at most 7-dimensional. Here we explicitly determine all solutions with a 7-dimensional group in three particular families of gravitational plane waves. All of them are exact solutions in terms of elementary functions. Furthermore, it turns out that a gravitational plane wave with a 6-dimensional homothety group (larger th...
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 ...
متن کاملUniversal entanglement entropy in two-dimensional conformal quantum critical points
We study the scaling behavior of the entanglement entropy of two-dimensional conformal quantum critical systems, i.e., systems with scale-invariant wave functions. They include two-dimensional generalized quantum dimer models on bipartite lattices and quantum loop models, as well as the quantum Lifshitz model and related gauge theories. We show that under quite general conditions, the entanglem...
متن کاملSupergravity, Non-Conformal Field Theories and Brane-Worlds
We consider the supergravity dual descriptions of non-conformal super Yang-Mills theories realized on the world-volume of Dp-branes. We use the dual description to compute stress-energy tensor and current correlators. We apply the results to the study of dilatonic brane-worlds described by nonconformal field theories coupled to gravity. We find that brane-worlds based on D4 and D5 branes exhibi...
