Abstract
We compute the holographic entanglement entropy of a thermalized CFT on a time-dependent background in four dimensions. We consider a slab configuration extending beyond the cosmological horizon of a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker metric. We identify a volume term that corresponds to the thermal entropy of the CFT, as well as terms proportional to the proper area of the entangling surface which are associated with strongly entangled degrees of freedom in the vicinity of this surface or with the expansion.
