Entanglement entropy: holography and renormalization group

T Nishioka - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2018‏ - APS
Entanglement entropy plays a variety of roles in quantum field theory, including the
connections between quantum states and gravitation through the holographic principle. This …

Large N field theories, string theory and gravity

O Aharony, SS Gubser, J Maldacena, H Ooguri, Y Oz - Physics Reports, 2000‏ - Elsevier
We review the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory,
focusing on the relation between compactifications of string/M theory on Anti-de Sitter …

Towards a derivation of holographic entanglement entropy

H Casini, M Huerta, RC Myers - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011‏ - Springer
We provide a derivation of holographic entanglement entropy for spherical entangling
surfaces. Our construction relies on conformally map** the boundary CFT to a hyperbolic …

On renormalization group flows in four dimensions

Z Komargodski, A Schwimmer - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011‏ - Springer
A bstract We discuss some general aspects of renormalization group flows in four
dimensions. Every such flow can be reinterpreted in terms of a spontaneously broken …

Aspects of holographic entanglement entropy

S Ryu, T Takayanagi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2006‏ - iopscience.iop.org
This is an extended version of our short report [1], where a holographic interpretation of
entanglement entropy in conformal field theories is proposed from AdS/CFT …

The holographic Weyl anomaly

M Henningson, K Skenderis - Journal of High Energy Physics, 1998‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We calculate the Weyl anomaly for conformal field theories that can be described via the
adS/CFT correspondence. This entails regularizing the gravitational part of the …

Holographic c-theorems in arbitrary dimensions

RC Myers, A Sinha - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011‏ - Springer
We re-examine holographic versions of the c-theorem and entanglement entropy in the
context of higher curvature gravity and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We select the gravity …

The exact superconformal R-symmetry extremizes Z

DL Jafferis - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012‏ - Springer
A bstract The three sphere partition function, Z, of three dimensional theories with four
supercharges and an R-symmetry is computed using localization, resulting in a matrix …

Renormalization group running of the entanglement entropy of a circle

H Casini, M Huerta - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2012‏ - APS
We show, using strong subadditivity and Lorentz covariance, that in three-dimensional
space-time the entanglement entropy of a circle is a concave function. This implies the …

Conformal collider physics: Energy and charge correlations

DM Hofman, J Maldacena - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We study observables in a conformal field theory which are very closely related to the ones
used to describe hadronic events at colliders. We focus on the correlation functions of the …
