Entanglement Entropy Evolution under Double-trace Deformation

Abstract

In this paper, we study the bulk entanglement entropy evolution in conical BTZ black bole background using the heat kernel method. This is motivated by exploring the new examples where quantum corrections of entanglement entropy give the leading contribution. We find that in the large black hole limit the bulk entanglement entropy decreases under the double-trace deformation which is consistent with the holographic $c$ theorem and in the small black hole limit the bulk entanglement entropy increases under the double-trace deformation.
