The entanglement entropy in a quantum field theory between two regions of space has been shown in simple cases to be proportional to the volume of the hypersurface separating the regions. We prove that this is true for a free scalar field…

The one-loop contribution to the entropy of a black hole from field modes near the horizon is computed in string theory. It is modular invariant and ultraviolet finite. There is an infrared divergence that signifies an instability near the…
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.…
