Abstract

In the context of dS3_3/CFT2_2, we propose a timelike entanglement entropy defined by the renormalization group flow. This timelike entanglement entropy is calculated in CFT by using the Callan-Symanzik equation. We find an exact match between this entanglement entropy and the length of a timelike geodesic connecting two different spacelike surfaces in dS3_3.The counterpart of this entanglement entropy in AdS3_3 is a spacelike one, also induced by RG flow and extends all the way into the bulk of AdS3_3. As a result, in both AdS3_3/CFT2_2 and dS3_3/CFT2_2, there exist exactly three entanglement entropies, providing precisely sufficient information to reconstruct the three-dimensional bulk geometry.
