Information-theoretic methods have led to significant advances in nonperturbative quantum field theory in flat space. In this work, we show that these ideas can be generalized to field theories in a fixed de Sitter space. Focusing on 1+1-dimensional field theories, we derive a boosted strong subadditivity inequality in de Sitter, and show that it implies a C-theorem for renormalization group flows. Additionally, using the relative entropy, we establish a Lorentzian bound on the entanglement and thermal entropies for a field theory inside the static patch. Finally, we discuss possible connections with recent developments using unitarity methods.

    Relative entropy of vacuum vs coherent state for λφ⁴ in the Rindler wedge equals the classical interacting boost charge to O(λ) and obeys the Bekenstein bound.

    For a free massive scalar field in 1+1 dimensions, the Araki-Uhlmann relative entropy between a coherent state and the vacuum decreases with mass and increases with region size in numerical tests.
