A surprising similarity between holographic CFTs and a free fermion in (2 + 1) dimensions
Abstract We compare the behavior of the vacuum free energy (i.e. the Casimir energy) of various (2 + 1)-dimensional CFTs on an ultrastatic spacetime as a function of the spatial geometry. The CFTs we consider are a free Dirac fermion, the conformally-coupled scalar, and a holographic CFT, and we tak...
