A relevant perturbation of the entanglement entropy of a sphere is examined holographically near the UV fixed point. Varying the conformal dimension of the relevant operator, we obtain three different sectors: 1) the entanglement entropy is stationary and the perturbative expansion is well-defined with respect to the relevant coupling, 2) the entropy is stationary, but the perturbation fails, 3) the entropy is neither stationary nor perturbative. We compare our holographic results with the numerical calculation for a free massive scalar field in three-dimensions, and find a qualitative agreement between them. We speculate that these statements hold for any relevant perturbation in any quantum field theory invariant under the Poincare symmetry.

  1. Renormalized AdS gravity and holographic entanglement entropy of even-dimensional CFTs

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Kounterterm renormalization is extended to even-dimensional holographic CFTs, yielding a universal entanglement entropy formula whose logarithmic coefficient reproduces the type A central charge.
