abstract

The effective central charge (denoted by $c_{\text{eff}}$) is a measure of entanglement through a conformal interface, while the transmission coefficient (encoded in the coefficient $c_{LR}$ of the two-point function of the energy-momentum tensor across the interface) is a measure of energy transmission through the interface. It has been pointed out that these two are generally different. In this article, we propose the inequalities, $0 \leq c_{LR} \leq c_{\text{eff}} \leq \min (c_L,c_R)$. They have the simple but important implication that the amount of energy transmission can never exceed the amount of information transmission. We verify them using the AdS/CFT correspondence, using the perturbation method, and in examples beyond holography. We also show that these inequalities are sharp by constructing a class of interfaces that saturate them.

  1. Entanglement in Presence of Topological Interfaces and Dualities

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Duality interfaces in 2d CFT project the vacuum entanglement spectrum onto a single symmetry sector, making the interface itself a physical symmetry-resolution filter.

  2. Complex Conformal Manifolds

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Complexified exactly-marginal couplings produce solvable complex CFTs, with the Ising defect verified numerically in non-Hermitian chains.

  3. Characterizing gapped phases by smeared boundary conformal field theories: Duality in unusual ordering with spontaneously broken generalized symmetries

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Gapped phases dual to massless RG flows in 2D CFTs exhibit unusual ordering via spontaneous breaking of non-group-like symmetries and are characterized using smeared boundary CFTs applied to smeared Ishibashi states.

  4. Entanglement C-functions of defects and interfaces in $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A probe-D5 holographic calculation gives analytic defect/interface entanglement entropy for massive D3/D5 intersections and shows the entropic C-function is monotonic but not always a finite degree-of-freedom count.

  5. Janus correlators and Heun's equation

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the 3D Janus background, defect operator dimensions shift by O(c_J^2), and BOPE coefficients are read off as residues of Heun connection coefficients.
