Entanglement entropies of an interval for the massless scalar field in the presence of a boundary

Abstract We study the entanglement entropies of an interval for the massless compact boson either on the half line or on a finite segment, when either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions are imposed. In these boundary conformal field theory models, the method of the branch point twist fields is...
