Entanglement Entropy in Jammed CFTs

Abstract

We construct solutions to the Einstein equations for asymptotically locally Anti-de Sitter spacetimes with four, five, and six dimensional Reissner-Nordstr\"om boundary metrics. These spacetimes are gravitational duals to "jammed" CFTs on those backgrounds at infinite N and strong coupling. For these spacetimes, we calculate the boundary stress tensor as well as compute entanglement entropies for ball shaped regions as functions of the boundary black hole temperature TBHT_{BH}. From this, we see how the CFT prevents heat flow from the black hole to the vacuum at spatial infinity. We also compute entanglement entropies for a three dimensional boundary black hole using the AdS C-metric. We compare our results to previous work done in similar spacetimes.
