Tearing down spacetime with quantum disentanglement

Roberto Emparan, Javier M. Magan

A longstanding enigma within AdS/CFT concerns the entanglement entropy of holographic quantum fields in Rindler space. The vacuum of a quantum field in Minkowski spacetime can be v…

ABJ anomaly as a U(1) symmetry and Noether's theorem

Valentin Benedetti, Horacio Casini, Javier M. Magan

The Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly determines the violation of chiral symmetry when massless fermions are coupled to an abelian gauge field. In its seminal paper, Adler noticed that a m…

Conformal bounds in three dimensions from entanglement entropy

Pablo Bueno, Horacio Casini, Oscar Lasso Andino +1

The entanglement entropy of an arbitrary spacetime region in a three-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) contains a constant universal coefficient, . For general the…

Irreversibility, QNEC, and defects

Horacio Casini, Ignacio Salazar Landea, Gonzalo Torroba

We first present an analysis of infinitesimal null deformations for the entanglement entropy, which leads to a major simplification of the proof of the , and -theorems in…

Modular Hamiltonian of the scalar field in the semi infinite line: dimensional reduction for spherically symmetric regions

Marina Huerta, Guido van der Velde

We focus our attention on the one dimensional scalar theories that result from dimensionally reducing the free scalar field theory in arbitrary d dimensions. As is well known, afte…
