Generalized entropy and higher derivative Gravity

arXiv:1310.6659 · doi:10.1007/JHEP03(2014)070

Abstract

We derive an extension of the Ryu-Takayanagi prescription for curvature squared theories of gravity in the bulk, and comment on a prescription for more general theories. This results in a new entangling functional, that contains a correction to Wald's entropy. The new term is quadratic in the extrinsic curvature. The coefficient of this correction is a second derivative of the lagrangian with respect to the Riemann tensor. For Gauss-Bonnet gravity, the new functional reduces to Jacobson-Myers'.

v4: further sign corrections in sec 2, main conclusions unaltered. Added comments comparing to Iyer-Wald's in section 5. Version to appear in JHEP
