Abstract: We compute free energies as well as conformal anomalies associated with boundaries for a conformal free scalar field. To that matter, we introduce the family of spaces of the form

m a t h b b S^{a} i m e s m a t h b b H^{b}

, which are conformally related to

m a t h b b S^{a + b}

. For the case of

a = 1

, related to the entanglement entropy across

m a t h b b S^{b - 1}

, we provide some new explicit computations of entanglement entropies at weak coupling. We then compute the free energy for spaces

m a t h b b S^{a} i m e s m a t h b b H^{b}

for different values of

a

and

b

. For spaces

m a t h b b S^{2 n + 1} i m e s m a t h b b H^{2 k}

we find an exact match with the free energy on

m a t h b b S^{2 n + 2 k + 1}

. For

m a t h b b H^{2 k + 1}

and

m a t h b b S^{3} i m e s m a t h b b H^{3}

we find conformal anomalies originating from boundary terms. We also compute the free energy for strongly coupled theories through holography, obtaining similar results.
