abstract

The entanglement entropy of intervals in $1+1$ interface CFTs is modified in two ways compared to a CFT without interface: there is a finite boundary entropy contribution, and, for an interval with an endpoint at the interface, the coefficient of the logarithmically divergent contribution -- which is usually proportional to the central charge of the CFT -- is modified to an effective central charge. We show that the latter modification can be understood as a limit of the former using holographic duals of interface CFTs. Furthermore, we show that a finite contribution also appears in intervals that do not cross the interface and it is needed to ensure strong subbaditivity of the entanglement entropy.

Decoding the string in terms of holographic quantum maps

hep-th · 2025-09-16 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Stringy modes in 3D gravitational junctions map to factorized H_in to H_out and H_L to H_R quantum maps involving scattering matrices and relative Virasoro automorphisms in the dual CFT.

The degrees of freedom of multiway junctions in three dimensional gravity

hep-th · 2025-09-24 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

n-way junctions in 3D gravity correspond to n-1 coupled Nambu-Goto strings with Monge-Ampère sources whose degrees of freedom survive the tensionless limit, implying matter-like behavior from pure gravity and perfect reflection of wavepackets in the dual CFT.
