Entanglement equilibrium for higher order gravity

Abstract: We show that the linearized higher derivative gravitational field equations are equivalent to an equilibrium condition on the entanglement entropy of small spherical regions in vacuum. This extends Jacobson's recent derivation of the Einstein equation using entanglement to include general higher derivative corrections. The corrections are naturally associated with the subleading divergences in the entanglement entropy, which take the form of a Wald entropy evaluated on the entangling surface. Variations of thi… Show more

“…One could take the deformation (3.11) at face value and define the volume from the symplectic form δV higher = Ω higher (δ Y g, δg), but it is not clear to us if this is the right thing to do. The proposal of [71] for the generalized volume appears to be equivalent to doing the latter.…”

“…This establishes in particular that K is constant on the constant s slices. 42 Instead of using (2.11) we could use α = ∇ · ζ/d = −C∂ s C −1 to writeα = u a ∇ a α = −C −1 ∂ s (C∂ s C −1 ). Inserting (B.5) then yieldsα| s=0 = −1/[L sinh(R * /L)], which again establishes the fact thatα| s=0 is independent of x.…”

“…And by replacing L → iL and setting R * = Lπ/2 we obtain for the Wheeler-DeWitt patch of AdS: C = L/ cosh s, where L is the AdS radius. 42 A degenerate case is the dS static patch (R * → ∞), since in that case K = 0 for all s, i.e. all the CMC slices have zero mean curvature, so there is no York time flow for the dS static patch.…”

“…The equivalence of δS| V = 0 and the Einstein equations can alternatively be derived from a 'first law of causal diamond mechanics' [8,9]. In a gravitational theory consisting of a metric and matter fields, to obtain such a first law one evaluates the relation (B.6) for the region Ξ = B with conformal Killing vector ξ satisfying ξ| ∂B = 0:…”
