SUMMARY:Holographic Entanglement Entropy and Gravitational Anomalies
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Nabil Iqbal\, UCSB\n\nPart of the HET Seminar Series.
	\n\nA quantum field theory can suffer from gravitational anomalies which re
	nder its stress tensor non-conserved at the quantum level\, e.g. a 2d CFT w
	ith different left and right central charges. Such a 2d CFT has a dual grav
	itational description given by topologically massive gravity. I will discus
	s work in progress towards the computation of entanglement entropy in such 
	a theory from its gravity dual\, and explain how the anomaly has the effect
	 of broadening the Ryu-Takayanagi minimal worldline into a "ribbon" whose t
	wisting carries nontrivial information.
