Some results on the shape dependence of entanglement and Renyi entropies

We study how the universal contribution to entanglement entropy in a conformal field theory depends on the entangling region. We show that for a deformed sphere the variation of the universal contribution is quadratic in the deformation amplitude. We generalize these results for Renyi entropies. We...
