We study the entanglement entropy, $S_C$, of a massless free scalar field on the outside region $C$ of two black holes $A$ and $B$ whose radii are $R_1$ and $R_2$ and how it depends on the distance, $r(\gg R_1,R_2)$, between two black…
We compute holographic entanglement entropy in two strongly coupled nonlocal field theories: the dipole and the noncommutative deformations of SYM theory. We find that entanglement entropy in the dipole theory follows a volume law for…
In an earlier paper we have constructed a basis of massless single particle quantum states which transform in the unitary principal series representation of the four dimensional Lorentz group. The S-matrix written in this basis gives rise…
We consider a class of $N=2$ supersymmetric non--unitary theories in two--dimensional Minkowski spacetime which admit classical solitonic solutions. We show how these models can be twisted into a topological sector whose energy--momentum…
Topological entanglement entropy, a measure of the long-ranged entanglement, is related to the degeneracy of the ground state on a higher genus surface. The exact relation depends on the details of the topological theory. We consider a…
