From Weyl Anomaly to Defect Supersymmetric Rényi Entropy and Casimir Energy

Abstract

We present a closed-form expression for the contribution of surface defects to the supersymmetric Rényi entropy in six-dimensional $(2,0)$ theories. Our results show that this defect contribution is a linear function of $1/n$ and is directly proportional to $2b-d_2$, where $b$ and $d_2$ are the surface defect Weyl anomaly coefficients. We also derive a closed-form expression for the defect contribution to the supersymmetric Casimir energy, which simplifies to $-d_2$ (up to a proportionality constant) in the chiral algebra limit.
