- Abstract summary: We investigate the entanglement entropy of a massive scalar field nonminimally coupled to spacetime curvature.
We show that large positive coupling constants can significantly alter the entropy scaling with respect to the boundary area.
Our outcomes are interpreted in view of black hole entropy production and early universe scenarios.

- Abstract: We investigate the entanglement entropy of a massive scalar field
nonminimally coupled to spacetime curvature, assuming a static, spherically
symmetric background. We discretize the field Hamiltonian by introducing a
lattice of spherical shells and imposing a cutoff in the radial direction. We
then study the ground state of the field and quantify deviations from area law
due to nonminimal coupling, focusing in particular on Schwarzschild-de Sitter
and Hayward spacetimes, also discussing de Sitter spacetime as a limiting case.
We show that large positive coupling constants can significantly alter the
entropy scaling with respect to the boundary area, even in case of small field
mass. Our outcomes are interpreted in view of black hole entropy production and
early universe scenarios.

Analytic continuations of holographic entanglement entropy in which the boundary subregion extends along a timelike direction have brought a promise of a novel, time-centric probe of spacetime.
We propose that the bulk carriers of this holographic timelike entanglement entropy are boundary-anchored extremal surfaces probing analytic continuation of holographic spacetimes into complex coordinates.

We estimate the free parameters for such quantum metrics through a simple physical argument based on Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

An AdS eternal black hole in equilibrium with a finite temperature bath presents a Hawking-like information paradox.
The replica wormhole cures this paradox by introducing a non-trivial entanglement wedge for the bath after Page time.
We explicitly analyse the theory dependence of this non-perturbative effect by randomising the boundary conditions of some bulk matter fields.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster.
We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient.
Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

We show that the entropy sphere associated with the underlying microstructure has to be necessarily broadened when the fine grained radiation entropy becomes maximal.
We argue that the standard thermodynamical description is valid so long the black hole viewed from outside is sufficiently large, radiation escaping into the future null infinity can be described on a smooth spacetime background, and the von Neumann entropy of Hawking radiation evolves unitarily.
