Quantum dimension as entanglement entropy in two dimensional conformal field theories

Song He, Tokiro Numasawa, Tadashi Takayanagi, and Kento Watanabe

Phys. Rev. D 90, 041701(R) (2014) - Published 13 August, 2014

The authors show that the entanglement entropy of 2d conformal field theories, in the presence of operator insertions, receives a universal additive contribution relative to the vacuum quantity. The contribution is computed explicitly and expressed in terms of the dimension of the inserted operator.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Logarithmic corrections to $N \geq 2$ black hole entropy

Cynthia Keeler, Finn Larsen, and Pedro Lisbão

Phys. Rev. D 90, 043011 (2014) - Published 21 August, 2014

By means of a new efficient method for computing the one-loop corrections to the entropy of supersymmetric four-dimensional black holes, the logarithmic correction to the Bekenstein-Hawking area law is found.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Proof of a quantum Bousso bound

Raphael Bousso, Horacio Casini, Zachary Fisher, and Juan Maldacena

Phys. Rev. D 90, 044002 (2014) - Published 1 August, 2014

The generalized Covariant Entropy Bound (Bousso Bound), a generalization of the black hole entropy bound, is proven under weaker assumptions than previously for free quantum field theories in the limit of small gravitational backreaction.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

High-order half-integral conservative post-Newtonian coefficients in the redshift factor of black hole binaries

Luc Blanchet, Guillaume Faye, and Bernard F. Whiting

Phys. Rev. D 90, 044017 (2014) - Published 13 August, 2014

The authors compute high-order post-Newtonian corrections to the two-body problem and successfully compare to numerical and analytic gravitational self-force calculations that are useful in certain extreme mass ratio limits.
