Anomalies, Entanglement and Boundary Geometry in Conformal Field Theory

<p> A conformal field theory embedded in a curved spacetime background can be characterized by the trace anomaly coefficients of the stress tensor. We first derive general vacuum stress tensors of even-dimensional conformal field theories using Weyl anomalies. We then consider some aspects of...
