Brown--Henneaux central charge Created 2026-09-28 Updated 2026-11-05
The Brown--Henneaux central charge is the central charge of the two-dimensional conformal field theory dual to Einstein gravity on :
Choose a constant-time boundary interval whose endpoints differ by in . Its Ryu–Takayanagi formula surface is the diameter through . Cutting it off at , its length is
The holographic entanglement entropy is therefore
