The entanglement entropy of spacetime regions $A$ in odd-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) contains a universal constant term, $(-1)^{\frac{d-1}{2}}F(A)$. This quantity can be robustly defined by considering the mutual information…

Bekenstein's inequality sets a bound on the entropy of a charged macroscopic body. Such a bound is understood as a universal relation between physical quantities and fundamental constants of nature that should be valid for any physical…
