    Holographic entanglement entropy under the minimal geometric deformation and extensions

    Full text link
    The holographic entanglement entropy (HEE) of the minimal geometrical deformation (MGD) procedure and extensions (EMGD), is scrutinized within the membrane paradigm of AdS/CFT. The HEE corrections of the Schwarzschild and Reissner--Nordstr\"om solutions, due to a finite fluid brane tension, are then derived and discussed in the context of the MGD and the EMGD.Comment: 31 pages and 23 figure

    Equivalence between the Lovelock-Cartan action and a constrained gauge theory

    Full text link
    We show that the four-dimensional Lovelock-Cartan action can be derived from a massless gauge theory for the SO(1,3)SO(1,3) group with an additional BRST trivial part. The model is originally composed by a topological sector and a BRST exact piece and has no explicit dependence on the metric, the vierbein or a mass parameter. The vierbein is introduced together with a mass parameter through some BRST trivial constraints. The effect of the constraints is to identify the vierbein with some of the additional fields, transforming the original action into the Lovelock-Cartan one. In this scenario, the mass parameter is identified with Newton's constant while the gauge field is identified with the spin-connection. The symmetries of the model are also explored. Moreover, the extension of the model to a quantum version is qualitatively discussed.Comment: 17 pages. No figures. Final version accepted for publication at the EPJ
