The boundary Weyl anomalies live on a codimension-1 boundary, $\partial {\cal M}$. The entanglement entropy originates from infinite correlations on both sides of a codimension-2 surface, $Σ$. Motivated to have a further understanding of the boundary effects, we introduce a notion of reduction entropy, which, guided by thermodynamics, is a combination of the boundary effective action and the boundary stress tensor defined by allowing the metric on $\partial {\cal M}$ to fluctuate. We discuss how a reduction might be performed so that the reduction entropy reproduces the entanglement structure.
Near-Horizon BMS Symmetry, Dimensional Reduction, and Black Hole Entropy
在早期的一个简短的文件[物理。修订版本\ Lett. 120(2018)101301,arXiv:1702.04439],我认为一般黑洞的视界保持对称性增强到更大的BMS ${}_3$对称性,这足以确定贝肯斯坦-霍金熵。在这里,我提供了这个论点的细节和扩展,包括放松视界边界条件,更彻底地处理降维和“近视界对称性”的含义。"
Imprint of entanglement entropy in the power spectrum of inflationary fluctuations
如果暴胀子耦合到填充后暴胀阶段的其他自由度,则这种耦合修改暴胀子\emph{during}暴胀的动力学。我们认为轻费米子汤川耦合到暴胀子作为“不可观测”的自由度集成的总密度矩阵。追踪这些自由度产生一个\emph{mixed}密度矩阵,其时间演化由有效场论描述。我们表明,耦合导致丰富的费米子对生产的超哈勃暴胀子波动,导致\emph{growth of entanglement entropy during inflation}。暴胀子涨落的功率谱特征在于尺度不变性违反$\mathcal{P}(k) = \mathcal{P}_0(k)\,\,\exp\{8\,ξ_k\}$,并对\emph{index and its running directly correlated with the entanglement entropy}进行了修正:$S_{vN} = - \sum_{k} \Big[ \ln(1-ξ_k) + \frac{ξ_k\,\ln(ξ_k)}{1-ξ_k} \Big]$。对于超哈勃起伏,我们发现$ξ_k = -\frac{Y^2}{48π^2}\Big\{2\,N_T\,\ln(k/k_f) + \ln^2(k/k_f)\Big\}$与$Y$汤川耦合,$N_T$的e-折叠的总数在通货膨胀期间,和$k_f$的“枢轴”规模对应的模式,在通货膨胀结束时穿过哈勃半径。
