At a quantum critical point, the universal scaling behavior of R\'enyi entanglement entropy is controlled by the universality class of the codimension-two R\'enyi (or conical) defects in the infrared theory. In this work we perform a…
The entanglement entropy of a quantum critical system can provide new universal numbers that depend on the geometry of the entangling bipartition. We calculate a universal number called $\kappa$, which arises when a quantum critical system…

We extend the approach of Casini, Huerta and Myers to a new calculation of the Renyi entropy of a general CFT in d dimensions with a spherical entangling surface, in terms of certain thermal partition functions. We apply this approach to…
We explore the R\'enyi entanglement entropies of a one-dimensional (line) subsystem of length $L$ embedded in two-dimensional $L\times L$ square lattice for quantum spin models whose ground-state breaks a continuous symmetry in the…
We consider macroscopically large 3-partitions $(A,B,C)$ of connected subsystems $A\cup B \cup C$ in infinite quantum spin chains and study the R\'enyi-$\alpha$ tripartite information $I_3^{(\alpha)}(A,B,C)$. At equilibrium in clean 1D…
Entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of uncertainty of a quantum state. For quantum fields in curved space, entanglement entropy of the quantum field theory degrees of freedom is well-defined for a fixed background geometry. In this…
We consider entanglement through permeable interfaces in the c=1 (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theory. We compute the partition functions with the interfaces inserted. By the replica trick, the entanglement entropy is obtained…
R\'enyi entropies are conceptually valuable and experimentally relevant generalisations of the celebrated von Neumann entanglement entropy. After a quantum quench in a clean quantum many-body system they generically display a universal…
We investigate the scaling of the R\'enyi $\alpha$-entropies in one-dimensional gapped quantum spin models. We show that the block entropies with $\alpha > 2$ violate the area law monotonicity and exhibit damped oscillations. Depending on…
The vacuum entanglement entropy in quantum field theory provides nonperturbative information about renormalization group flows. Most studies so far have focused on the universal terms, related to the Weyl anomaly in even space-time…
We develop a framework for studying the well-known universal term in the Renyi entropy for an arbitrary entangling region in four-dimensional conformal field theories that are holographically dual to gravitational theories. The shape…
Renyi entropies S_q are useful measures of quantum entanglement; they can be calculated from traces of the reduced density matrix raised to power q, with q>=0. For (d+1)-dimensional conformal field theories, the Renyi entropies across…
The charged (symmetry-resolved) vacuum R\'enyi entanglement entropy on a disk is computed in the limit of large U(1) global charge for any R\'enyi index. We show that it behaves universally for a broad class of conformal field theories…
Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we examine entanglement entropy for a boundary theory deformed by a relevant operator and establish two results. The first is that if there is a contribution which is logarithmic in the UV cut-off, then the…
