abstract
Two-dimensional conformal field theories with a large central charge and a small number of low-dimension operators are studied using the conformal block expansion. A universal formula is derived for the Renyi entropies of N disjoint intervals in the ground state, valid to all orders in a series expansion. This is possible because the full perturbative answer in this regime comes from the exchange of the stress tensor and other descendants of the vacuum state. Therefore, the Renyi entropy is related to the Virasoro vacuum block at large central charge. The entanglement entropy, computed from the Renyi entropy by an analytic continuation, decouples into a sum of single-interval entanglements. This field theory result agrees with the Ryu-Takayanagi formula for the holographic entanglement entropy of a 2d CFT, applied to any number of intervals, and thus can be interpreted as a microscopic calculation of the area of minimal surfaces in 3d gravity.

A cross-ratio threshold relation η'/η = e^{ΔH/2} governs entanglement-wedge phase transitions on pure-state holographic geometries, and uberholography's fractal dimension α ≈ 0.786 persists on asymptotic boundaries but not on RT-boundary geodesics.
Entanglement entropies in 2d holographic CFTs are rewritten via crossing symmetry as algebraic Virasoro entropies whose O(c) piece is identified with the RT area through saddle-dominated Cardy density after coarse-graining heavy primaries into Liouville-momentum bins.
Extends the exponentiation of Virasoro conformal blocks in the semiclassical limit to higher-point and higher-genus cases at the level of formal power series using an extended oscillator method.
Derives heavy-light conformal blocks in 2d C/G CFTs and computes excited-state entanglement entropy via replica trick, finding thermal form that reproduces holographic EE and establishes dictionary between boundary weights and bulk mass/angular momentum.
Lecture notes deliver a self-contained pedagogical overview of worldsheet strings in AdS3 with NSNS flux, summarizing 25 years of results with emphasis on spectrally flowed correlation functions.
Krylov complexity is a canonical, parameter-independent measure of operator spreading that probes chaotic dynamics to late times and admits a geometric interpretation in holographic duals.
