Miami 2007 Celebrating ten years of AdS/CFT
AdS/CFT has been successfully studied for ten years as the best example of holography.
Holography is expected to relate quantum gravity to various quantum mechanical systems.
To understand holography from general viewpoints, we need to find a universal quantity as a physical observable.
In this talk, we would like to point out that the quantity called entanglement entropy is such a candidate.
① Introduction
What is the entanglement entropy (EE) ?
A measure how much a given quantum state is quantum mechanically entangled (or complicated).
(A) It is universal in that it is well defined in any quantum mechanical systems.
(B) In QFT, it has the properties of both entropy and correlation functions.

Definition of entanglement entropy
Divide a given quantum system into two parts A and B.Then the total Hilbert space becomes factorized

Now the entanglement entropy is defined by the

We define the reduced density matrix for A by
taking trace over the Hilbert space of B .

quantum field theories on (d+1) dim. spacetime
Then, we divide into A and B by specifying the boundary .

An analogy with black hole entropyAs we have seen, the entanglement entropy is definedby smearing out the Hilbert space for the submanifold B. EE ~ `Lost Information’ hidden in B
This origin of entropy looks similar to the black hole entropy.

② Holographic Entanglement Entropy
We assume the AdS/CFT in the supergravity limit.But we can generalize this to other setups of holography.
Example. Poincare coordinate
Holographic Computation [06’ Ryu-TT]
(1) Divide the space N is into A and B.
(2) Extend their boundary to the entire AdS space. This defines a d dimensional surface.
(3) Pick up a minimal area surface and call this .
(4) The E.E. is given by naively applying the Bekenstein-Hawking formula
as if were an event horizon.

Comments
(i) We can compare AdS and CFT results exactly in AdS3/CFT2 case and find perfect agreements.
(ii) The holographic formula can be derived from the bulk-boundary relation of GKPW. [Fursaev 06’]
(iii) It is straightforward to derive the area law divergence of EE, induced from the warp factor of AdS spaces.
(iv) In the presence of the horizon, the EE for the total system coincides with the BH entropy. [This is consistent with earlier pioneering works: Maldacena 01’ and Hawking-Maldacena-Strominger 00’ ; See also Emparan 06’]
(v) The EE generally obeys the inequality called strong subadditivity. Our holographic formula clearly satisfies this. [Headrick-TT 07’]
(vi) In the time-dependent b.g., we need a covariant description. It turns that the minimal surface is replaced with the extremal surface in any Lorentzian spacetime. [Hubeny-Rangamani-TT 07’]

Consider the basic example of type IIB string on ,
which is dual to 4D N=4 SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory.
In this case, we obtain the prediction from supergravity(dual to the strongly coupled Yang-Mills)
We would like to compare this with free Yang-Mills result.

The order one deviation is expected since the AdS result corresponds to the strongly coupled Yang-Mills. . [cf. 4/3 problem in thermal entropy, Gubser-Klebanov-Peet 96’]

⑥ Conclusions• We have found the holographic area formula of entangle
ment entropy via AdS/CFT duality.
[Other our recent topics]• If we apply our argument to the AdS2/CFT1, we find EE of two CQMs = Wald entropy formula. [Azeyanagi-Nishioka-TT, 07’]
• In the defect or interface CFTs, we can extract the boundary entropy (g-function) from EE. It is holographically computable in Janus b.g.
[Azeyanagi-Karch-Thompson-TT, 07’]
Can we reconstruct the spacetime metric from the information of EE in the dual CFT ??
