BCFT in a black hole background: an analytical holographic model

We study the entanglement phase structure of a holographic boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) in a two-dimensional black hole background. The bulk dual is the AdS(3) black string geometry with a Karch-Randall brane. We compute the subregion entanglement entropy of various two-sided bipartitions to elucidate the phase space where a Page curve exists in this setup. We do fully analytical computations on both the gravity side and the field theory side and demonstrate that the results precisely match. We discuss the entanglement phase structure describing where a Page curve exists in this geometry in the context of these analytical results. This is a useful model to study entanglement entropy for quantum field theory on a curved background.
