abstract

In this review we first introduce the general methods to calculate the entanglement entropy for free fields, within the Euclidean and the real time formalisms. Then we describe the particular examples which have been worked out explicitly in two, three and more dimensions.

Replica Wormholes and the Entropy of Hawking Radiation

hep-th · 2019-11-27 · accept · novelty 8.0

Replica wormholes in the gravitational path integral yield the island rule for the fine-grained entropy of Hawking radiation, ensuring it follows the unitary Page curve in two-dimensional dilaton gravity.

Mutual Information from Modular Flow in General CFTs

hep-th · 2026-04-21 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

A hierarchy of approximations to the mutual information in CFTs is derived from modular flow and two-point functions of primaries, providing a high-precision formula for arbitrary ball separations that supersedes previous long-distance expansions.

Schwinger-Keldysh Path Integral for Gauge theories

hep-th · 2026-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Constructs a manifestly diagonal-BRST-invariant Schwinger-Keldysh path integral for open non-Abelian gauge theories with arbitrary physical initial states, yielding Ward-Takahashi-Slavnov-Taylor identities and a Keldysh BRST symmetry for the Open EFT.

Entanglement Revivals and Scrambling for Evaporating Black Holes

hep-th · 2026-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Increasing black hole scrambling time in JT and RST evaporating geometries suppresses and eliminates late-time entanglement revivals in 2d CFT mutual information for disjoint intervals, interpolating between quasiparticle and maximal scrambling regimes.

Symmetry-Resolved Entanglement Entropy from Heat Kernels

hep-th · 2025-11-03 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

An improved heat kernel framework with phase-factor reconstruction computes symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy for charged systems and derives a cMERA flow equation that agrees with CFT and holographic calculations.

Quantum Energy Teleportation Across Lattice and Continuum

hep-th · 2026-04-11 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A neutral current protocol on the lattice in the massive Thirring model yields a weak signal exactly matching a coarse-grained current correlator, with extracted energy scaling quadratically with measurement strength, identifying the neutral sector shared with the continuum.

Numerical approach to the modular operator for fermionic systems

math-ph · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A position-space discretization on a cylinder approximates the modular operator for one and two double cones in the 1+1D massive Majorana field, showing nontrivial mass dependence and reduced bilocal terms at higher masses.

Modular Flow of Celestial Conformal Field Theory

hep-th · 2026-05-05 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0 · 3 refs

Reviews modular flows in CFT2, warped CFTs and BMSFTs then presents vector and modular flows for celestial field theory and Klein CFTs while searching for the structure in Lifshitz theories.
