We extend this result and calculate entanglement entropy of a generic 4d conformal field theory. As a byproduct, we obtain a closed-form expression for the entanglement entropy in flat space-time when $Σ$ is sphere $S_2$ and when $Σ$ is two-dimensional cylinder. The contribution of the type A conformal anomaly to entanglement entropy is always determined by topology of surface $Σ$ while the dependence of the entropy on the extrinsic geometry of $Σ$ is due to the type B conformal anomaly.12 pages; minor corrections in (4.8), (4.16); final version to appear in PLBHigh Energy Physics - TheoryStatistical MechanicsGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyDifferential GeometryQuantum PhysicsEntanglement entropy, conformal invariance and extrinsic geometrytext
