Abstract

We compute change in entanglement entropy for a single interval in 1+11+1 dimensional sine-Gordon model perturbatively in the coupling. The sine-Gordon perturbation can be thought of as deformation of the free CFT by a primary operator with dimension Δ\Delta. In an independent computation we calculate holographic entanglement entropy for that interval from three dimensional bulk AdS which has a massive scalar with its mass satisfying m2=Δ(Δ2)m^2= \Delta(\Delta-2). We show that the two results match for near-marginal perturbations upto leading order in the coupling.
