Inspired by the holographic computation of large interval entanglement entropy of two dimensional conformal field theory at high temperature, it was proposed that the thermal entropy is related to the entanglement entropy as…

We employ the relative entropy as a measure to quantify the difference of eigenmodes between Hermitian and non-Hermitian systems in elliptic optical microcavities. We have found that the average value of the relative entropy in the range of…

We study implications of the weak gravity conjecture in the AdS/CFT correspondence. Unlike in Minkowski spacetime, AdS spacetime has a physical length scale, so that the conjecture must be generalized with an additional parameter. We…

Conformal symmetry is broken by a flat or spherical defect operator $\mathcal{D}$. We show that this defect operator, may be identified as a pair of twist operators which are inserted at the tips of its causal diamond. Any $k-$point…

We consider the entanglement entropy for a spacetime region and its spacelike complement in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory. For a M\"obius covariant local net satisfying a certain nuclearity property, we consider the von…

The {\it finiteness} of the entanglement entropies between disjoint subsystems enables us to show that, the dynamical equation of the entanglement entropy in CFT$_2$ is precisely three dimensional Einstein's equation. We establish a…

We introduce a quantity, called pseudo entropy, as a generalization of entanglement entropy via post-selection. In the AdS/CFT correspondence, this quantity is dual to areas of minimal area surfaces in time-dependent Euclidean spaces which…

We construct a 2-categorical extension of the relative entropy functor of Baez and Fritz, and show that our construction is functorial with respect to vertical morphisms. Moreover, we show such a `2-relative entropy' satisfies natural…

We classify two-dimensional purely chiral conformal field theories which are defined on two-dimensional surfaces equipped with spin structure and have central charge less than or equal to 16, and discuss their duality webs. This result can…

We study the ratio of the entropy to the total energy in conformal field theories at finite temperature. For the free field realizations of {\cal N}=4 super Yang-Mills theory in D=4 and the (2,0) tensor multiplet in D=6, the ratio is…

We compute the pseudo entropy in two-dimensional holographic and free Dirac fermion CFTs for excited states under joining local quenches. Our analysis reveals two of its characteristic properties that are missing in the conventional…

We prove that for $\mathcal{C}^{1,\alpha}$ diffeomorphisms on a compact manifold $M$ with ${\rm dim} M\leq 3$, if an invariant measure $\mu$ is a continuity point of the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents, then $\mu$ is an upper…

It is well known that a local, unitary Poincare-invariant 2D QFT with a global scaling symmetry and a discrete non-negative spectrum of scaling dimensions necessarily has both a left and a right local conformal symmetry. In this paper we…

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…

We calculate the amount of entanglement shared by two intervals in the ground state of a (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT), quantified by an entanglement measure $\mathcal{E}$ based on the computable cross norm (CCNR)…

Conformal field theory (CFT) in two dimensions provide a rich source of subfactors. The fact that there are so many subfactors coming from CFT have led people to conjecture that perhaps all finite depth subfactors are related to CFT. In…

We explore the constraints on the spectrum of primary fields implied by modularity of the elliptic genus of N=(2,2) 2D CFT's. We show that such constraints have nontrivial implications for the existence of "extremal" N=(2,2) conformal field…

Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold of dimension $k$ and $f:X \longrightarrow X$ be a dominating meromorphic map. We generalize the notion of topological entropy, by defining a quantity $h_{(m,l)}^{top}(f)$ which measures the action of…

In this paper a holographic description of eternal inflation is developed. We focus on the description of an open FRW universe that results from a tunneling event in which a false vacuum with positive vacuum energy decays to a…

Using the duality between seemingly different (2+1)d conformal field theories (CFT) proposed recently, we study a series of (2+1)d stable self-dual interacting CFTs. These CFTs can be realized (for instance) on the boundary of the (3+1)d…
