We compute entanglement entropy for free massive scalar fields in anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. The entangling surface is a minimal surface whose boundary is a sphere at the boundary of AdS. The entropy can be evaluated from the thermal free energy of the fields on a topological black hole by using the replica method. In odd-dimensional AdS, exact expressions of the Renyi entropy $S_n$ are obtained for arbitrary $n$. We also evaluate 1-loop corrections coming from the scalar fields to holographic entanglement entropy. Applying the results, we compute the leading difference of entanglement entropy between two holographic CFTs related by a renormalization group flow triggered by a double trace deformation. The difference is proportional to the shift of a central charge under the flow.

Weyl Anomaly Coefficients of Holographic Defect CFTs at Weak and Strong Coupling
The type-A Weyl anomaly coefficient b for holographic defect CFTs is negative in a finite parameter region at both weak and strong coupling, providing the first explicit example of an interacting unitary dCFT with b<0.

Precision tests of bulk entanglement: $AdS_3$ vectors
Bulk single-particle states of a massive Chern-Simons vector in AdS3 produce entanglement entropy corrections that match the CFT replica-trick result for the corresponding primary and descendants at leading and sub-le...

Entanglement Entropy of a Non-Minimally Coupled Self-Interacting Scalar across a Schwarzschild Horizon at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha)$
The O(α) correction to entanglement entropy of a non-minimally coupled self-interacting scalar across a Schwarzschild horizon is proportional to (1/6 - ξ), with divergences that renormalize Newton's constant while pre...
