Abstract

We compute entanglement entropy (EE) of a spherical region in (3 + 1)- dimensional N = 4 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in states described holographically by probe D3-branes in AdS5 × S5. We do so by generalising methods for computing EE from a probe brane action without having to determine...

We do so by generalising methods for computing EE from a probe brane action without having to determine the probe’s back- reaction. On the Coulomb branch with SU(N) broken to SU(N − 1) × U(1), we find the EE monotonically decreases as the sphere’s radius increases, consistent with the a-theorem. The EE of a symmetric-representation Wilson line screened in SU(N − 1) also monotonically decreases, although no known physical principle requires this. A spherical soliton separating SU(N) inside from SU(N − 1) × U(1) outside had been proposed to model an extremal black hole. However, we find the EE of a sphere at the soliton’s radius does not scale with the surface area.

Our holographic results for EE and one-point functions of the Lagrangian and stress-energy tensor show that at large distance the soliton looks like a Wilson line in a direct product of fundamental representations.
