Holographic calculations of entanglement entropy boil down to identifying minimal surfaces in curved spacetimes. This generically entails solving second-order equations. For higher-dimensional AdS geometries, we demonstrate that supersymmetry and calibrations reduce the problem to first-order equations. We note that minimal surfaces corresponding to disks preserve supersymmetry, whereas strips do not.
