We study the entanglement entropy in 1+1 dimensional conformal field theories in the presence of interfaces from a holographic perspective. Compared with the well-known case of boundary conformal field theories, interfaces allow for several interesting new observables. Depending on how the interface is located within the entangling region, the entanglement entropies differ and exhibit surprising new patterns and universal relations. While our analysis is performed within the framework of holography, we expect our results to hold more generally.

  1. On decoding the string from interfaces in 2d conformal field theories

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    Stringy vibrations of an AdS3 junction between two thermal CFTs map to half-sided conformal transformations, producing perfectly reflected wavepackets, and are readable from interval entanglement entropy even at zero tension.

  2. Connecting boundary entropy and effective central charge at holographic interfaces

    hep-th 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Holographic models of interface CFTs connect the effective central charge in entanglement entropy to a limiting case of boundary entropy, while adding finite terms for non-crossing intervals to satisfy strong subadditivity.
