abstract

We derive differential equations for the flow of entanglement entropy as a function of the metric and the couplings of the theory. The variation of the universal part of entanglement entropy under a local Weyl transformation is related to the variation under a local change in the couplings. We show that this relation is in fact equivalent to the trace Ward identity. As a concrete application of our formalism, we express the entanglement entropy for massive free fields as a two-point function of the energy-momentum tensor.

The entropy of radiation for local quenches in higher dimensions

hep-th · 2025-01-31 · conditional · novelty 5.0

For local quenches in d>2 CFTs, the excess entanglement entropy of radiation grows as ξ^{d/2} at early and late times, obeys an all-time relative-entropy bound, and the holographic model produces a Page-like curve.
