We propose entanglement entropy as a probe of the architecture of spacetime in quantum gravity. We argue that the leading contribution to this entropy satisfies an area law for any sufficiently large region in a smooth spacetime, which, in…

Einstein-Hilbert action and its natural generalizations to higher dimensions (like the Lanczos-Lovelock action) have certain peculiar features. All of them can be separated into a bulk and a surface term, with a specific ("holographic")…

Entanglement R\'enyi-$\alpha$ entropy is an entanglement measure. It generalizes the entanglement of formation, and they coincide when $\alpha$ tends to 1. We derive analytical lower and upper bounds for the entanglement R\'enyi-$\alpha$…

In holographic duality, if a boundary state has a geometric description that realizes the Ryu-Takayanagi proposal then its entanglement entropies must obey certain inequalities that together define the so-called holographic entropy cone. A…
