Shape Dependence of Holographic Rényi Entropy in General Dimensions
Lorenzo Bianchi, Shira Chapman, Xi Dong +3
We present a holographic method for computing the response of Rényi entropies in conformal field theories to small shape deformations around a flat (or spherical) entangling surfac…
Effective string description of confining flux tubes
Bastian B. Brandt, Marco Meineri
We review the current knowledge about the theoretical foundations of the effective string theory for confining flux tubes and the comparison of the predictions to pure gauge lattic…
Defects in conformal field theory
Marco Billò, Vasco Gonçalves, Edoardo Lauria +1
We discuss consequences of the breaking of conformal symmetry by a flat or spherical extended operator. We adapt the embedding formalism to the study of correlation functions of sy…
