We consider 3d N>= 2 superconformal field theories on a branched covering of a three-sphere. The Renyi entropy of a CFT is given by the partition function on this space, but conical singularities break the supersymmetry preserved in the…

We combine an axiomatics of R\'{e}nyi with the $q$--deformed version of Khinchin axioms to obtain a measure of information (i.e., entropy) which accounts both for systems with embedded self-similarity and non-extensivity. We show that the…

It has been known for some time that the usual $q$-entropy $S_q^{(n)}$ cannot be shown to converge to the continuous case. In [Phys. Rev. E 97 (2018) 012104], we have shown that the discrete $q$-entropy $\widetilde{S}_q^{(n)}$ converges to…
