The heat kernels of Laplacians for spin 1/2, 1, 3/2 and 2 fields, and the asymptotic expansion of their traces are studied on manifolds with conical singularities. The exact mode-by-mode analysis is carried out for 2-dimensional domains and then extended to arbitrary dimensions. The corrections to the first Schwinger-DeWitt coefficients in the trace expansion, due to conical singularities, are found for all the above spins. The results for spins 1/2 and 1 resemble the scalar case. However, the heat kernels of the Lichnerowicz spin 2 operator and the spin 3/2 Laplacian show a new feature. When the conical angle deficit vanishes the limiting values of these traces differ from the corresponding values computed on the smooth manifold. The reason for the discrepancy is breaking of the local translational isometries near a conical singularity. As an application, the results are used to find the ultraviolet divergences in the quantum corrections to the black hole entropy for all these spins.

Entanglement entropy of linearized gravitons in a sphere
A linearized graviton field in a sphere has entanglement entropy equal to that of two massless scalars with l=0 and l=1 modes removed, giving a logarithmic coefficient of -61/45.

Polyakov-loop potential of accelerated gluonic matter and subtlety in thermodynamics
Real acceleration strengthens deconfining properties of gluonic matter per the one-loop Polyakov-loop potential minimized in the optical metric, while imaginary acceleration yields a confined phase.

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...

Entanglement Entropy and Thermodynamics of Dynamical Black Holes
In f(R) theories, the replica-method gravitational entropy computed on the apparent horizon matches the Hollands-Wald-Zhang dynamical black hole entropy and satisfies the first law, while the event horizon does not; t...
