Entanglement entropy and 2d black holes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We explore the method of entanglement entropy applied to 2d black holes. We introduce a solvable model of a real scalar field with finite volume and lattice spacing in terms of NN coupled mechanical oscillators and compute its entanglement entropy in many cases. The large NN limit of this scheme, with finite lattice spacing, should reproduce the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for black hole entropy.
