Disks globally maximize the entanglement entropy in 2 + 1 dimensions

Abstract The entanglement entropy corresponding to a smooth region in general three-dimensional CFTs contains a constant universal term, −F ⊂ S EE. For a disk region, F|disk ≡ F 0 coincides with the free energy on 𝕊3 and provides an RG-monotone for general theories. As opposed to the analogous quant...
