Description
I will review recent results on extending the laws of black
hole thermodynamics where the gravity couplings are treated
as additional thermodynamic variables. In the holographic
context, varying these couplings can be interpreted as
inducing an RG-flow in the space of field theories, with
monotonicity theorems and associated phase transitions. In
the second part of this talk I will present the extended
laws of entanglement entropy that can be derived in this
context. I will show that the extra contributions to the
entanglement can capture additional information of the bulk
theory that is not available in the standard formalism.
