N2 - We compute genus two partition functions in two-dimensional conformal field theories at large central charge, focusing on surfaces that give the third Renyi entropy of two intervals. We compute this for generalized free theories and for symmetric orbifolds, and compare it to the result in pure gravity. We find a new phase transition if the theory contains a light operator of dimension δ ≤ 0.19. This means in particular that unlike the second Rnyi entropy, the third one is no longer universal.
