Abstract

We investigate the one-loop entanglement entropy of two short intervals with small cross ratio xx on a complex plane in two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) using operator product expansion of twist operators. We focus on the one-loop entanglement entropy instead of the general order nn R\'enyi entropy, and this makes the calculation much easier. We consider the contributions of stress tensor to order x10x^{10}, contributions of W3W_3 operator to order x12x^{12}, and contributions of W4W_4 operator to order x14x^{14}. The CFT results agree with the ones in gravity.
