Rényi entropy, stationarity, and entanglement of the conformal scalar

We extend previous work on the perturbative expansion of the Rényi entropy, Sq , around q = 1 for a spherical entangling surface in a general CFT. Applied to conformal scalar fields in various spacetime dimensions, the results appear to conflict with the known conformal scalar Rényi entropies. On th...
