We study minimum area surfaces associated with a region, $R$, of an internal space. For example, for a warped product involving an asymptotically $AdS$ space and an internal space $K$, the region $R$ lies in $K$ and the surface ends on…
When a spacetime has boundaries, the entangling surface does not have to be necessarily compact and it may have boundaries as well. Then there appear a new, boundary, contribution to the entanglement entropy due to the intersection of the…
