Entanglement Entropy in NonConformal Holographic Theories

High Energy Physics - Theory 2011-08-24 v2

Abstract

The entanglement entropy of various geometries is calculated for the boundary theory dual to a stack of N Dp-branes. The entanglement entropies are readily expressed in terms of the effective coupling at the appropriate energy scales. The results are also compared to the entropy density of a black brane and some universal properties of holographic entropy are found.
