Curved Corner Contribution to the Entanglement Entropy in an Anisotropic Spacetime
Abstract
In this article, we explore the divergences and universal terms of the holographic entanglement entropy for singular regions in anisotropic and nonconformal theories that are holographically dual to geometries with a hyperscaling violation, parameterized by two parameters and . We study a curved corner in anisotropic space with arbitrary and . We choose the region to be shape invariant under the scaling of spacetime. For this case, we show that the contribution of the singularity to the entanglement entropy depends on and values. We identify the structure of various divergences that may appear, especially those which give rise to a universal contribution in the form of logarithmic or double logarithmic terms. In the range , for values with some integer and , Lifshitz geometry, we find a double logarithmic term. In the range , for values with some integer we find a logarithmic term.
