Abstract:
The computation of the Renyi entropy of a
QFT, when the Renyi parameter is an
integer, can be reformulated in terms of
defect operators and their expectation
values. I will make this correspondence
precise for the case of supersymmetric
Renyi entropy of an SCFT and
supersymmetric defects, both of which can
be computed exactly using localization.
