Timelike entanglement entropy and $T\bar{T}$ deformation

In a previous work arXiv:1811.07758 about the $T\bar{T}$ deformed CFT$_2$, from the consistency requirement of the entanglement entropy theory, we found that in addition to the usual spacelike entanglement entropy, a timelike entanglement entropy must be introduced and treated equally. Inspired by the recent explicit constructions of the timelike entanglement entropy and its bulk dual, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the timelike and spacelike entanglement entropies in the $T\bar{T}$ deformed finite size system and finite temperature system. The results confirm our prediction that in the finite size system only the timelike entanglement entropy receives a correction, while in the finite temperature system only the usual spacelike entanglement entropy gets a correction. These findings affirm the necessity of a complete measure including both spacelike and timelike entanglement entropies.
