The combination of the Lorentz symmetry and the strong subadditive property of the entropy leads to a c-theorem for the entanglement entropy in 1+1 dimensions. We present a simple derivation of this theorem and compare the associated c-functions with the Zamolodchikov's ones for the case of free fields. We discuss the various difficulties which obstacle the naive generalizations of the entropic c-theorem to higher dimensions.

  1. Rank matching in renormalization-group irreversibility: Exact defect and entropic tests

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A counting rule ("rank matching") separates RG endpoint inequalities from running monotonicity, with exact defect b-function transitions and an F-loss profile reversal.

  2. Universality of Magic in Local Quantum Field Theory

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In any local QFT, vacuum-like states have non-flat entanglement spectra because local algebras are type III₁, so no stabilizer state can flow to them in the continuum: QFT states necessarily carry magic.

  3. Matching $A$ with $F$ in long-range QFTs

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    RG flow in long-range φ⁴ theories obeys gradient structure ∂_I A = G_IJ β^J up to three loops, with A matching F-tilde and G matching C_IJ at leading nontrivial order.

  4. On decoding the string from interfaces in 2d conformal field theories

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Stringy vibrations of an AdS3 junction between two thermal CFTs map to half-sided conformal transformations, producing perfectly reflected wavepackets, and are readable from interval entanglement entropy even at zero tension.

  5. Holographic Timelike c-function

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A holographic c-function derived from timelike entanglement entropy is shown to be monotonic along RG flows in Poincare invariant, Lifshitz, and hyperscaling-violating theories, given null energy and thermodynamic sta...

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    The paper organizes important open questions in quantum gravity and quantum information into four themes without presenting new results or derivations.
