Holographic entanglement entropy Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05

At leading semiclassical order, holographic entanglement entropy is the area of a bulk extremal surface anchored on the boundary of the chosen region, divided by

4 G_{N}

Choose a constant-time boundary interval whose endpoints differ by

π

ϕ

r = 0

. Cutting it off at

r_{c} = π /2 - ϵ

, its length is

ℓ = 2 R_{AdS} \int_{0}^{r_{c}} \frac{d r}{c o s r} = 2 R_{AdS} lo g (sec r_{c} + tan r_{c}) = 2 R_{AdS} lo g \frac{2}{ϵ} + O (ϵ^{2}) .

S = \frac{ℓ}{4 G} = \frac{R _{AdS}}{2 G} lo g ϵ^{- 1} + finite = \frac{c}{3} lo g ϵ^{- 1} + finite,

c = 3 R_{AdS} / (2 G)

was used.
