Conditions on holographic entangling surfaces in higher curvature gravity

Conditions on holographic entangling surfaces in higher curvature gravity

We study the extremal surfaces of functionals recently proposed for the holographic calculation of entanglement entropy in general higher curvature theories, using New Massive gravity and Gauss-Bonnet gravity as concrete examples. We show that the entropy functionals admit closed extremal surfaces, which for black hole backgrounds can encircle the event …
