Holographic entanglement entropy in cutoff AdS
Abstract
We investigate the holographic entanglement entropy of deformed conformal field theories which are dual to a cutoff AdS space. The holographic entanglement entropy evaluated on a three-dimensional Poincaré AdS space with a finite cutoff can be reinterpreted as that of the dual field theory deformed by either a boost or TˉT deformation. For the boost case, we show that, although it trivially acts on the underlying theory, it nontrivially affects the entanglement entropy due to the length contraction. For a three-dimensional AdS, we show that the effect of the boost transformation can be reinterpreted as the rescaling of the energy scale, similar to the TˉT deformation. Under the boost and TˉT deformation, the c-function of the entanglement entropy exactly shows the features expected by the Zamolodchikov’s c-theorem. The deformed theory is always stationary at a UV fixed point and monotonically flows to another CFT in the IR fixed point. We also show that the holographic entanglement entropy in a Poincaré cutoff AdS space can reproduce the exact same result of the TˉT deformed theory on a two-dimensional sphere.
