Abstract: (APS)
In this paper we present in more detail a construction using Wilson lines and the corresponding dual Galilean conformal field theory calculations for analytically determining holographic entanglement entropy for flat space in 2+1 dimensions first presented in A. Bagchi, R. Basu, D. Grumiller, and M. Riegler, Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 111602 (2015). In addition, we show how the construction using Wilson lines can be expanded to flat space higher-spin theories and determine the thermal entropy of (spin-3 charged) flat space cosmologies using this approach.
