It is generally believed that in spatial dimension d > 1 the leading contribution to the entanglement entropy S = - tr rho_A log rho_A scales as the area of the boundary of subsystem A. The coefficient of this "area law" is non-universal.…

We determine the explicit universal form of the entanglement and Renyi entropies, for regions with arbitrary boundary on a null plane or the light-cone. All the entropies are shown to saturate the strong subadditive inequality. This Renyi…
