Abstract

We apply the universal method developed in \cite{Jiang:2025jnk} to compute the entanglement entropy between two tangent balls in CFTD_D. When taking the radius of one ball to infinity, it gives the entanglement entropy between a ball and its tangent half plane. In two-dimensional case, this configuration is equivalent to the entanglement in boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) between the negative half-axis and an interval ending on the boundary.
