abstract

To consider the entanglement between the spatial region $A$ and its complement in a QFT, we need to assign a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_A$ to the region, by making a certain choice on the boundary $\partial A$. We argue that a small physical boundary is implicitly inserted at the entangling surface. We investigate these issues in the context of 2d CFTs, and show that we can indeed read off the Cardy states of the $c=1/2$ minimal model from the entanglement entropy of the critical Ising chain.

Probing chiral topological states with permutation defects

quant-ph · 2025-12-04 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Permutation defects between wavefunction replicas yield multipartite entanglement measures that capture the chiral central charge from bulk states in chiral topological phases.

Ryu-Takayanagi area from Virasoro modular data

hep-th · 2026-06-29 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

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.

The state/defect correspondence

hep-th · 2026-06-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Establishes a one-to-one correspondence between states and p-dimensional defects in higher-form Maxwell theories via an extended Kac-Moody algebra generated by conserved charges from mixed anomalies, mapping dressed Wilson-'t Hooft defects to squeezed energy eigenstates.

No boundary density matrix in elliptic de Sitter dS/$\mathbb{Z}_2$

hep-th · 2025-11-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The Euclidean path integral on elliptic de Sitter defines a no-boundary density matrix whose entropies reduce to vertex operator correlators on non-orientable surfaces, with a one-dimensional global Hilbert space but nontrivial observer Fock spaces.

Modular quantization and black holes

hep-th · 2026-06-10 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Modular quantization of a single holographic CFT reproduces exact Hartle-Hawking correlators of smooth BTZ black holes in the semiclassical limit while yielding non-smooth stretched-horizon descriptions at finite GN.
