Abstract
This is a rendering of the blackboard lectures at the 2008 Cargese summer school, discussing some elementary facts regarding the application of AdS/CFT techniques to the computation of entanglement entropy in strongly coupled systems. We emphasize the situations where extensivity of the entanglement entropy can be used as a crucial criterion to characterize either nontrivial dynamical phenomena at large length scales, or nonlocality in the short-distance realm.
