From the Weyl Anomaly to Entropy of Two-Dimensional Boundaries and Defects
Kristan Jensen, Andy O'Bannon, Brandon Robinson +1
We study whether the relations between the Weyl anomaly, entanglement entropy (EE), and thermal entropy of a two-dimensional (2D) conformal field theory (CFT) extend to 2D boundari…

Wilson Surface Central Charge from Holographic Entanglement Entropy
John Estes, Darya Krym, Andy O'Bannon +2
We use entanglement entropy to define a central charge associated to a two-dimensional defect or boundary in a conformal field theory (CFT). We present holographic calculations of…
