We propose a closed formula of the universal part of supersymmetric R\'enyi entropy $S_q$ for $(2,0)$ superconformal theories in six-dimensions. We show that $S_q$ across a spherical entangling surface is a cubic polynomial of $\gamma:=1/q$, with all coefficients expressed in terms of the newly discovered Weyl anomalies $a$ and $c$. This is equivalent to a similar statement of the supersymmetric free energy on conic (or squashed) six-sphere. We first obtain the closed formula by promoting the free tensor multiplet result and then provide an independent derivation by assuming that $S_q$ can be written as a linear combination of 't Hooft anomaly coefficients. We discuss a possible lower bound ${a\over c}\geq {3\over 7}$ implied by our result.

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

    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.
