• Abstract: In this paper, we study entanglement islands and the Page curve in the eternal four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by finite temperature conformal matter. By finite temperature conformal matter we mean the matter described by the thermal density matrix, rather than the usually considered matter above the Fock vacuum. We take the matter and the black hole at different temperatures and calculate the entanglement entropy for such a setup using the s-wave approximation. As a result, we obtain that at late times the island prescription leads to the exponential growth of the entanglement entropy of conformal matter in thermal vacuum.

  We investigate how the quantum fluctuations from the fields that render the black hole its temperature contribute to its entropy. We show that throughout the flow one can split the quantum field contribution to the entropy into a part coming from the entanglement between field degrees of freedom inside and outside the horizon. A similar conclusion is valid for the Wald entropy part of the total entropy.
