A Note on Entanglement Entropy for Primary Fermion Fields in JT Gravity

In this paper we analyse and discuss 2D Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity coupled to primary fermion fields in asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes. We get a particular solution of the massless Dirac field outside the extremal black hole horizon and find the solution for the dilaton in JT gravity. Two dimensional JT gravity spacetime is conformally flat, we calculate the two point correlators of primary fermion fields under the Weyl transformations. The key point of this work is to present a standard technique which is called resolvent rather than CFT methods. We redefine the fields in terms of the conformal factor as the fermion fields, and we use the resolvent technique to derive the renormalized entanglement entropy for massless Dirac fields in JT gravity.

Page curves and Entanglement Islands for the Step-Function Vaidya Model of Evaporating Black Holes

It was proposed recently that the fine-grained entropy of the Hawking radiation can be expressed by the semiclassical island formula, which reproduces the unitary Page curve. In this paper, we choose the ``in'' vacuum state and apply the quantum extremal surface construction to study the Page curve for the step-function Vaidya model of evaporating black holes in four dimensions, which is produced by the spherical null shells. Metrics of the three regions of this spacetimes are obtained. In addition, the entanglement islands for the step-function Vaidya model of evaporating black holes at very late times are studied. When cutoff surface $A$ is located in Minkowski region III with $u_A < u_H$ at very late times, we find that the location of the boundary of island $\partial I$ depends on the value of $8M-v_A+v_I$. Specifically, $\partial I$ is inside, at or outside the horizon when $8M-v_A+v_I$ is less than, equal to or larger than zero respectively. Moreover, when cutoff surface $A$ is located in Minkowski region III with $u_A > u_H$ after the black hole evaporates completely, we find that entanglement island still exists and $\partial I$ is located on an equal-time Cauchy surface of the observer $A$ when $r_{(A)}^2\geq64G_Nκc $.
