The PEE aspects of entanglement islands from bit threads

Yi-Yu Lin, Jia-Rui Sun, Yuan Sun +1 more

Abstract We study the partial entanglement entropy (PEE) aspects of the holographic BCFT setup with an entanglement island, inspired by the holographic triality of the AdS/BCFT setup developed in the recent study on the black hole information problem, and the “PEE=CFF (component flow flux)” prescription, which is proposed recently to investigate the holographic PEE in the framework of bit thread formulation. Our study provides a bit thread description of the AdS/BCFT setup, which characterizes the specific entanglement details between the different parts of the system with an entanglement island, and may provide further insight into the black hole information problem. Furthermore, we show that in the context of island, one should distinguish between the fine-grained PEE and the semi-classical PEE. Interestingly, similar to the island rule of the fine-grained entropy in the semi-classical picture, we also propose the island rules of the fine-grained PEE.

Aspects of holographic entanglement entropy: shape dependence and hyperscaling violating backgrounds

Piermarco Fonda

This thesis collects three works about holographic computations of entanglement entropy. In the first one it is shown how to compute numerically, following the Ryu-Takayanagi prescription, the entanglement entropy for arbitrarily shaped entangling regions in three dimensional conformal field theories. The other two focus on holographic theories with hyperscaling violating exponents: the time dependence after a holographic quench is analyzed and the arising of new universal terms due to the presence of non smooth boundaries is shown.

Lectures on entanglement entropy in field theory and holography

Matthew Headrick

These notes, based on lectures given at various schools over the last few years, aim to provide an introduction to entanglement entropies in quantum field theories, including holographic ones. We explore basic properties and simple examples of entanglement entropies, mostly in two dimensions, with an emphasis on physical rather than formal aspects of the subject. In the holographic case, the focus is on how the Ryu-Takayanagi formula geometrically realizes general features of field-theory entanglement, while revealing special properties of holographic theories. In order to make the notes somewhat self-contained for readers whose background is in high-energy theory, a brief introduction to the relevant aspects of quantum information theory is included.
