Rényi entanglement entropy provides a new window to study the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this paper we consider the short interval expansion of Rényi entanglement entropy in twodimensional conformal field theory. This amounts to do the operator product expansion of the twist operators. We focus on the vacuum Verma module and consider the quasiprimary operators constructed from the stress tensors. After obtaining the expansion coefficients of the twist operators to level 6 in vacuum Verma module, we compute the leading contributions to the Rényi entropy, to order 6 in the short interval expansion. In the case of one short interval on cylinder, we reproduce the first several leading contributions to the Rényi entropy. In the case of two short disjoint intervals with a small cross ratio x, we obtain not only the classical and 1-loop quantum contributions to the Rényi entropy to order x 6 , both of which are in perfect match with the ones found in gravity, but also the leading 1/c contributions, which corresponds to 2-loop corrections in the bulk. *
In this paper we investigate the thermodynamics of the inner horizon and its implication on the holographic description of the black hole. We focus on the black holes with two physical horizons. Under reasonable assumption, we prove that the first law of thermodynamics of the outer horizon always indicates that of the inner horizon. As a result, the fact that the area product being mass-independent is equivalent to the relation T + S + = T − S − , with T ± and S ± being the Hawking temperatures and the entropies of the outer and inner horizons respectively. We find that the mass-independence of entropy product breaks down in general Myers-Perry black holes with spacetime dimension d ≥ 6 and Kerr-AdS black holes with d ≥ 4. Moreover we discuss the implication of the first laws of the outer and inner horizons on the thermodynamics of the right-and left-moving sectors of dual CFT in Kerr/CFT correspondence. We show that once the relation T + S + = T − S − is satisfied, the central charges of two sectors must be same. Furthermore from the thermodynamics relations, we read the dimensionless temperatures of microscopic CFT, which are in exact agreement with the ones obtained from hidden conformal symmetry in the low frequency scattering off the black holes, and then determine the central charges. This method works well in well-known cases in Kerr/CFT correspondence, and reproduce successfully the holographic pictures for 4D Kerr-Newman and 5D Kerr black holes. We go on to predict the central charges and temperatures of a possible holographic CFT description dual to 5D doubly rotating black ring. *
In this paper we investigate the holographic Rényi entropy of two disjoint intervals on complex plane with small cross ratio x for conformal field theory with W symmetry in the ground state, which could be dual to a higher spin AdS 3 gravity. We focus on the cases of W 3 and W 4 symmetries. In order to see the nontrivial contributions from the W fields, we calculate the Rényi entropy in the expansion of x to order x 8 in both the gravity and the CFT sides. In the gravity side the classical contributions to the entanglement entropy is still given by the Ryu-Takayanagi area formula under the reasonable assumption, while the 1-loop quantum corrections have to take into account of the contributions not only from massless gravitons, but also from massless higher spin fields. In the CFT side we still use the operator product expansion of twist operators in the small interval limit, but now we need to consider the quasiprimary fields constructed from W fields, besides the ones from Virasoro Verma module. In the large central charge limit, we obtain the classical, 1-loop, 2-loop, and 3-loop parts of the Rényi entropy. The classical and 1-loop results in the gravity and the CFT sides are in exact match. This confirms the higher spin gravity/CFT correspondence, and also supports the holographic computation of Rényi entanglement entropy, including the quantum correction, in both the AdS 3 gravity and the higher spin AdS 3 gravity.
This is a compact review of recent results on supersymmetric Wilson loops in ABJ(M) and related theories. It aims to be a quick introduction to the state of the art in the field and a discussion of open problems. It is divided into short chapters devoted to different questions and techniques. Some new results, perspectives and speculations are also presented. We hope this might serve as a baseline for further studies of this topic. Prepared for submission to J. Phys. A.
We investigate a weak version of subsystem eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) for a two-dimensional large central charge conformal field theory by comparing the local equivalence of high energy state and thermal state of canonical ensemble. We evaluate the single-interval Rényi entropy and entanglement entropy for a heavy primary state in short interval expansion. We verify the results of Rényi entropy by two different replica methods. We find nontrivial results at the eighth order of short interval expansion, which include an infinite number of higher order terms in the large central charge expansion. We then evaluate the relative entropy of the reduced density matrices to measure the difference between the heavy primary state and thermal state of canonical ensemble, and find that the aforementioned nontrivial eighth order results make the relative entropy unsuppressed in the large central charge limit. By using Pinsker's and Fannes-Audenaert inequalities, we can exploit the results of relative entropy to yield the lower and upper bounds on trace distance of the excited-state and thermal-state reduced density matrices. Our results are consistent with subsystem weak ETH, which requires the above trace distance is of power-law suppression by the large central charge. However, we are unable to pin down the exponent of power-law suppression. As a byproduct we also calculate the relative entropy to measure the difference between the reduced density matrices of two different heavy primary states.
