We show that spatial curvature has a significant effect on the existence of entanglement islands in cosmology. We consider a homogeneous, isotropic universe with thermal radiation purified by a reference spacetime. Arbitrarily small positive curvature guarantees that the entire universe is an island. Proper subsets of the time-symmetric slice of a closed or open universe can be islands, but only if the cosmological constant is negative and sufficiently large in magnitude.

  1. The mini-Page Curve in Cosmology

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    In 2D centaur geometries the entropy difference of a modular-conjugate Hawking-pair probe traces an inverse mini-Page curve that bottoms at τ≈β/8, marking when information begins to leave the cosmological horizon.
