abstract

We study entanglement entropy for regions with a singular boundary in higher dimensions using the AdS/CFT correspondence and find that various singularities make new universal contributions. When the boundary CFT has an even spacetime dimension, we find that the entanglement entropy of a conical surface contains a term quadratic in the logarithm of the UV cut-off. In four dimensions, the coefficient of this contribution is proportional to the central charge 'c'. A conical singularity in an odd number of spacetime dimensions contributes a term proportional to the logarithm of the UV cut-off. We also study the entanglement entropy for various boundary surfaces with extended singularities. In these cases, similar universal terms may appear depending on the dimension and curvature of the singular locus.

The merger of a black hole with a cosmological horizon

gr-qc · 2024-12-05 · conditional · novelty 6.0

A Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole merging with an observer's cosmological horizon is solved exactly, and its zero-cosmological-constant limit is argued to reproduce the Emparan-Martinez infinite-mass-ratio merger, enabling a finite regularized area increase.
