Abstract
We consider Rényi entropies Sn=1/1-n Tr ρn} of conformal field theories in flat space, with the entangling surface being a sphere. The AdS/CFT correspondence relates this Rényi entropy to that of a black hole with hyperbolic horizon; as the Rényi parameter n increases the temperature of the black hole decreases. If the CFT possesses a sufficiently low dimension scalar operator the black hole will be unstable to the development of hair. Thus, as n is varied, the Rényi entropies will exhibit a phase transition at a critical value of n. The location of the phase transition, along with the spectrum of the reduced density matrix ρ, depends on the dimension of the lowest dimension non-trivial scalar operator in the theory.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
