In this note, I revisit the problem of computing the entanglement entropy of a single interval in the ground state of a 2d CFT. I write the leading-order result in three different ways: once by doing the replica trick with the…

A large class of strongly correlated quantum systems can be described in certain large-N limits by quadratic in field actions along with self-consistency equations that determine the two-point functions. We use the replica approach and the…

We introduce a pseudo entropy extension of topological entanglement entropy called topological pseudo entropy. Various examples of the topological pseudo entropies are examined in three-dimensional Chern-Simons gauge theory with Wilson loop…

The entanglement "first law" in conformal field theories relates the entanglement entropy for a ball-shaped region to an integral over the same region involving the expectation value of the CFT stress-energy tensor, for infinitesimal…

Using AdS/CFT an extended first law of entanglement has been previously derived for the vacuum reduced to a ball in Minkowski. The statement not only includes perturbations of the state but also of the conformal field theory (CFT), via…

We consider the question of whether the leading contribution to the entanglement entropy in holographic CFTs is truly given by the expectation value of a linear operator as is suggested by the Ryu-Takayanagi formula. We investigate this…

In this paper, we study the entanglement entropy of a single interval on a cylinder in two-dimensional $T\overline{T}$-deformed conformal field theory. For such case, the (R\'enyi) entanglement entropy takes a universal form in a CFT. We…

We compute the entropy of entanglement in the ground states of a general class of quantum spin-chain Hamiltonians - those that are related to quadratic forms of Fermi operators - between the first N spins and the rest of the system in the…

The spherical entanglement entropy of higher--spin fields conjectured by Benedetti and Casini is shown to follow by extrapolation of already existing low spin expressions. The corresponding fermion formula is also exhibited.

We study the new class of solutions in linearized open string field theory (OSFT) involving higher-spin modes. Unlike the elementary OSFT solutions (on-shell vertex operators) that, acting on a vacuum, define wavefunctions of pure states…
