We consider a spherical region with a heavy quark in the middle. We compute the extra entanglement entropy due to the presence of a heavy quark both in ${\cal N}=4 $ Super Yang Mills and in the ${\cal N}=6$ Chern-Simons matter theory (ABJM). This is done by relating the computation to the expectation value of a circular Wilson loop and a stress tensor insertion. We also give an exact expression for the Bremsstrahlung function that determines the energy radiated by a quark in the ABJM theory.

  1. The nonlocal magic of a holographic Schwinger pair

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Holographic Schwinger pair creation generates nonlocal magic for spacetime dimensions d>2, as shown by a non-flat entanglement spectrum that can be read from the probe brane free energy.

  2. From Weyl Anomaly to Defect Supersymmetric R\'enyi Entropy and Casimir Energy

    hep-th 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In 6D (2,0) theories, defect supersymmetric Rényi entropy contribution is linear in 1/n and equals a constant times (2b - d2); Casimir energy contribution equals -d2 (up to constant) in the chiral algebra limit.
