A spacetime calculation of the Calabrese-Cardy entanglement entropy

We calculate Sorkin's spacetime entanglement entropy of a Gaussian scalar field for complementary regions in the 2d cylinder spacetime and show that it has the Calabrese-Cardy form. We find that the cut-off dependent term is universal when we use a covariant UV cut-off as in [1]. In addition, w...
