Holographic Derivation of Entanglement Entropy from AdS/CFT
Canonical reference. 70% of citing Pith papers cite this work as background.
abstract
A holographic derivation of the entanglement entropy in quantum (conformal) field theories is proposed from AdS/CFT correspondence. We argue that the entanglement entropy in d+1 dimensional conformal field theories can be obtained from the area of d dimensional minimal surfaces in AdS_{d+2}, analogous to the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for black hole entropy. We show that our proposal perfectly reproduces the correct entanglement entropy in 2D CFT when applied to AdS_3. We also compare the entropy computed in AdS_5 \times S^5 with that of the free N=4 super Yang-Mills.

Reinforcement learning finds explicit graph realizations for three of six previously unresolved extreme rays of the N=6 holographic entropy cone and supplies evidence that the other three lie outside it.
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.
Hawking radiation entropy follows the Page curve when quantum extremal surfaces are identified with RT/HRT surfaces in a higher-dimensional holographic dual, making the black hole interior part of the radiation's entanglement wedge.
Twirled perfect tensor networks are introduced as a class satisfying computational covariance, bounding complexity by the Python's Lunch Conjecture exponent, and combining holographic features of perfect and random tensor networks including a lattice RT formula.
q-Askey deformations of double-scaled SYK yield transfer matrices for orthogonal polynomials whose semiclassical chord dynamics map to ER bridges and new geometric transitions in sine dilaton gravity.
Higher spin gravity path integral on S^4 glues to an Sp(N) or superconformal S^3 boundary theory, giving leading contribution 2^N with one-loop cancellations.
In the continuum limit the discrete Krylov chain becomes a Klein-Gordon field in AdS2, with Lanczos growth rate α identified as πT, recovering the maximal chaos bound and requiring the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound for consistency.
Generalized entanglement entropies are constructed via left-, right-, and bi-invariant unit-invariant singular value decompositions to ensure scale invariance for non-Hermitian and rectangular operators in quantum mechanics, random matrices, and Chern-Simons theory.
Bulk single-particle states of a massive Chern-Simons vector in AdS3 produce entanglement entropy corrections that match the CFT replica-trick result for the corresponding primary and descendants at leading and sub-leading orders, with vanishing edge-mode contribution.
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.
Subregion duality fails in AdS/CFT at leading large N, leading to the proposal of subregion complementarity allowing different CFT operators to describe one bulk subregion.
In a 2d evaporating black hole model, large boosts create O(1/G_N) gradients in bulk entropy that move the quantum extremal surface, causing the generalized entropy to follow unitary expectations with information disappearing after a scrambling time and a phase transition at the Page time.
MERA tensor networks produce continuously varying effective scaling dimensions along the Z3 chiral clock critical line, starting from 3-state Potts values as the chiral parameter increases.
A single-band lattice model on the BTZ cylinder produces a curvature-dependent Harper equation whose spectra show sharpened butterfly fragmentation at weak curvature and suppressed magnetic response near larger horizons.
Multi-entropy exhibits a structural obstruction to replica symmetry breaking in random tensor networks due to incompatible boundary permutations in the replica hypercube, unlike entanglement negativity.
Functional renormalization group applied to the O(N) vector model generates an emergent regular AdS_{d+1} geometry whose near-horizon thermodynamics reproduces the first law and Bekenstein-Hawking area law with temperature matching the boundary field theory.
Exact pairing of CFT two-point functions with interior AdS geodesics on open solid torus via conformal kinematics, without semiclassical approximations.
The emergence of the cosmological arrow of time is identified with a confinement-deconfinement transition in a Z2 lattice gauge theory on LQG spin networks, with the deconfined phase corresponding to a CZX-type SPT phase.
Holographic RG flow induces gravity by evolving boundary conditions from rigid Dirichlet to mixed Dirichlet-Neumann, generating an Einstein-Hilbert term and evading the Weinberg-Witten theorem.
Deformations of the double-scaled SYK model via finite-cutoff holography produce Krylov complexity as wormhole length and realize Susskind's stretched horizon proposal through targeted T² deformations in the high-energy spectrum.
Holographic tensor networks constructed from PEE-thread tessellations of AdS geometry reproduce the exact Ryu-Takayanagi formula in factorized EPR, perfect-tensor, and random variants.
Modular Witten diagrams reproduce the O(λ² G_N) correction to holographic entanglement entropy, matching the canonical energy term in the quantum Ryu-Takayanagi formula with wedge shape deformation.
In top-down holographic models, monopole-induced diagonal symmetry causes dilaton fluctuations to mix SU(2) gauge and SO(3) isometry angular momenta, reproducing the Jackiw-Rebbi-Hasenfratz-'t Hooft spin-from-isospin mechanism.
