Holographic R\'enyi Entropy and Generalized Entropy method

Abstract

In this paper we use the method of generalized gravitational entropy in Lewkowycz:2013nqa to construct the dual bulk geometry for a spherical entangling surface, and calculate the R\'enyi entropy with the dual bulk gravity theory being either Einstein gravity or Lovelock gravity, this approach is closely related to that in Casini:2011kv. For a general entangling surface we derive the area law of entanglement entropy. The area law is closely related with the local property of the entangling surface.
