An introduction to entanglement entropy

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of these lecture notes is to give an introduction to entanglement entropy with an emphasis on holography. Apart from the standard definition and properties of entanglement entropy, we explicitly derive the relation between the coefficients of the conformal anomaly and the universal term in the entropy of a d-dimensional CFT. We also discuss the prescription for calculating the entanglement entropy holographically in theories dual to Einstein-Hilbert and Lovelock gravity and present several examples in detail.
