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…

We calculate the R\'enyi entropy $S_q(\mu,\lambda)$, for a spherical entangling surface in CFT's with Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-Maxwell holographic duals. R\'enyi entropies must obey some interesting inequalities by definition. However, for…
