| contents | We compute the surface defect contribution to Rényi entropy and supersymmetric Rényi entropy in six dimensions. We first compute the surface defect contribution to Rényi entropy for free fields, which verifies a previous formula about entanglement entropy with surface defect. Using conformal map to $S^1_β\times H^{d-1}$ we develop a heat kernel approach to compute the defect contribution to Rényi entropy, which is applicable for $p$-dimensional defect in general $d$-dimensional free fields. Using the same geometry $S^1_β\times H^5$ with an additional background field, one can construct the supersymmetric refinement of the ordinary Rényi entropy for six-dimensional $(2,0)$ theories. We find that the surface defect contribution to supersymmetric Rényi entropy has a simple scaling as polynomial of Rényi index in the large $N$ limit. We also discuss how to connect the free field results and large $N$ results. |
