Holographic Renyi entropy in AdS3/LCFT2 correspondence

The recent study in AdS(3)/CFT2 correspondence shows that the tree level contribution and 1-loop correction of holographic R,nyi entanglement entropy (HRE) exactly match the direct CFT computation in the large central charge limit. This allows the R,nyi entanglement entropy to be a new window to study the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this paper we generalize the study of R,nyi entanglement entropy in pure AdS(3) gravity to the massive gravity theories at the critical points. For the cosmological topological massive gravity (CTMG), the dual conformal field theory (CFT) could be a chiral conformal field theory or a logarithmic conformal field theory (LCFT), depending on the asymptotic boundary conditions imposed. In both cases, by studying the short interval expansion of the R,nyi entanglement entropy of two disjoint intervals with small cross ratio x, we find that the classical and 1-loop HRE are in exact match with the CFT results, up to order x (6). To this order, the difference between the massless graviton and logarithmic mode can be seen clearly. Moreover, for the cosmological new massive gravity (CNMG) at critical point, which could be dual to a logarithmic CFT as well, we find the similar agreement in the CNMG/LCFT correspondence. Furthermore we read the 2-loop correction of graviton and logarithmic mode to HRE from CFT computation. It has distinct feature from the one in pure AdS(3) gravity.
