Wilson surface central charge from holographic entanglement entropy

Abstract We use entanglement entropy to define a central charge associated to a twodimensional defect or boundary in a conformal field theory (CFT). We present holographic calculations of this central charge for several maximally supersymmetric CFTs dual to eleven-dimensional supergravity in Anti-de...
