On one-loop entanglement entropy of two short intervals from OPE of twist operators

Understand

We investigate the one-loop entanglement entropy of two short intervals with small cross ratio $x$ on a complex plane in two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) using operator product expansion of twist operators.

• We focus on the one-loop entanglement entropy instead of the general order $n$ R\'enyi entropy, and this makes the calculation much easier.
• We consider the contributions of stress tensor to order $x^{10}$, contributions of $W_3$ operator to order $x^{12}$, and contributions of $W_4$ operator to order $x^{14}$.
• The CFT results agree with the ones in gravity.
