We consider 3d N>= 2 superconformal field theories on a branched covering of a three-sphere. The Renyi entropy of a CFT is given by the partition function on this space, but conical singularities break the supersymmetry preserved in the…

In relative entropy coding, a sender aims to design a stochastic code such that, on input $X \sim P_X$, the receiver can generate a sample $Y \sim P_{Y \mid X}$. It is a standard result that (1) this requires at least $I(X; Y)$ bits, (2)…
