Markov property of the CFT vacuum and the a-theorem
Horacio Casini, Eduardo Teste, Gonzalo Torroba
We use strong sub-additivity of entanglement entropy, Lorentz invariance, and the Markov property of the vacuum state of a conformal field theory to give a new proof of the irrever…

Modular Hamiltonians on the null plane and the Markov property of the vacuum state
Horacio Casini, Eduardo Teste, Gonzalo Torroba
We compute the modular Hamiltonians of regions having the future horizon lying on a null plane. For a CFT this is equivalent to regions with boundary of arbitrary shape lying on th…
