On the RG running of the entanglement entropy of a circle

abstract
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 decrease of the coefficient of the area term and the increase of the constant term in the entropy between the ultraviolet and infrared fixed points. This is in accordance with recent holographic c-theorems and with conjectures about the renormalization group flow of the partition function of a three sphere (F-theorem). The irreversibility of the renormalization group flow in three dimensions would follow from the argument provided there is an intrinsic definition for the constant term in the entropy at fixed points. We discuss the difficulties in generalizing this result for spheres in higher dimensions.

The derivative of entanglement entropy with respect to subregion volume equals the thermal entropy density in the large-subregion limit, verified via lattice simulations of the finite-density O(4) model using dual worm algorithms.
Derives universal quadratic response of 3D CFT free energy to S^3 squashing proportional to c_T and constructs thermal effective action for high-T Seifert manifolds with explicit Wilson coefficients.
The scheme-independent 3-sphere free energy decreases at O(g^2) under relevant deformations of a 3D CFT but is not monotone along the full RG flow of the free massive scalar on S^3.
Non-Abelian conformal anomalies are classified via Stora-Zumino descent from the Euler class, placing them on equal footing with perturbative anomalies and enabling WZW terms for anomaly matching.
C, F and A theorems are proven in de Sitter using strong subadditivity of entanglement entropy, de Sitter invariance, and the Markov property of CFT for RG flows from UV CFTs.
Resurgent cyclic orbits' algebraic structure plus the leading q-series term determines the asymptotic growth exponent of dual q-series coefficients, which equals an effective central charge c_eff in a related 3d N=2 QFT.
Proposes and numerically tests a reconstructed Hamiltonian for approximate CFT ground states in any dimension that recovers CFT spectral properties.
The replica-energy filter (1 − d^{-1} L ∂_L) on log Z isolates universal subextensive data in thermal QFT: central charges, sphere free energies, topological degeneracies, fracton degeneracies, and the Euler anomaly.
Long-range φ⁴ theories have RG beta functions that satisfy a gradient flow with A matching the sphere free energy F̃ at leading nontrivial order.
The paper organizes important open questions in quantum gravity and quantum information into four themes without presenting new results or derivations.
