Entanglement entropy of two disjoint intervals in conformal field theory II
read the original abstract
We continue the study of the entanglement entropy of two disjoint intervals in conformal field theories that we started in J. Stat. Mech. (2009) P11001. We compute Tr\rho_A^n for any integer n for the Ising universality class and the final result is expressed as a sum of Riemann-Siegel theta functions. These predictions are checked against existing numerical data. We provide a systematic method that gives the full asymptotic expansion of the scaling function for small four-point ratio (i.e. short intervals). These formulas are compared with the direct expansion of the full results for free compactified boson and Ising model. We finally provide the analytic continuation of the first term in this expansion in a completely analytic form.

Mutual Information from Modular Flow in General CFTs
A hierarchy of approximations to the mutual information in CFTs is derived from modular flow and two-point functions of primaries, providing a high-precision formula for arbitrary ball separations that supersedes prev...

Ryu-Takayanagi area from Virasoro modular data
Entanglement entropies in 2d holographic CFTs are rewritten via crossing symmetry as algebraic Virasoro entropies whose O(c) piece is identified with the RT area through saddle-dominated Cardy density after coarse-gra...

Large-c BCFT Entanglement Entropy with Deformed Boundaries from Emergent JT Gravity
At large central charge, BCFT von Neumann entropy with deformed boundaries is reproduced by island entropy in an emergent JT gravity setup with transparent boundary conditions set by the deformation.

Entropy Variations and Light Ray Operators from Replica Defects
Replica analysis shows QNEC saturation in interacting CFTs with twist gap because only the stress-tensor defect operator produces the contact term in the n to 1 limit.

Imprints of dynamical phases in semiclassical entanglement entropy in 2D CFT
Semiclassical entanglement entropy in driven 2D CFT states exhibits dynamical phase imprints; the holographic backreacted minimal area matches the CFT result at O(c^0) and verifies the FLM conjecture.
