Entanglement renormalization and integral geometry

We revisit the applications of integral geometry in AdS$_3$ and argue that the metric of the kinematic space can be realized as the entanglement contour, which is defined as the additive entanglement density. From the renormalization of the entanglement contour, we can holographically understand the operations of disentangler and isometry in multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz. Furthermore, a renormalization group equation of the long-distance entanglement contour is then derived. We then generalize this integral geometric construction to higher dimensions and in particular demonstrate how it works in bulk space of homogeneity and isotropy.Comment: 40 pages, 7 figures. v2: discussions on the general measure added, typos fixed; v3: sections reorganized, various points clarified, to appear in JHE

LFV couplings of the extra gauge boson Z' and leptonic decay and production of pseudoscalar mesons

Considering the constraints of the lepton flavor violating (LFV) processes $\mu \rightarrow 3e$ and $\tau\rightarrow3\mu$ on the LFV couplings $Z'\ell_{i}\ell_{j}$, in the contexts of the $E_{6}$ models, the left-right (LR) models, the "alternative" left-right (ALR) models and the 331 models, we investigate the contributions of the extra gauge boson $Z'$ to the decay rates of the processes $\ell_{i}\rightarrow\ell_{j}\nu_{\ell}\nu_{\ell}$, $\tau\rightarrow\mu P$ and $P\rightarrow \mu e$ with $P=\pi^{0},\eta$ and $\eta '$. Our numerical results show that the maximal values of the branching ratios for these processes are not dependent on the $Z'$ mass $M_{Z'}$ at leader order. The extra gauge boson $Z'_{X}$ predicted by the $E_{6}$ models can make the maximum value of the branching ratio $Br(\tau\rightarrow\mu\nu_{\ell}\nu_{\ell})$ reach $1.1\times10^{-7}$. All $Z'$ models considered in this paper can produce significant contributions to the process $\tau\rightarrow\mu P$. However, the value of $Br(P\rightarrow\mu e)$ is far below its corresponding experimental upper bound.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures; matches published versio
