Entanglement in Lifshitz-type quantum field theories

Abstract: Abstract:We study different aspects of quantum entanglement and its measures, including entanglement entropy in the vacuum state of a certain Lifshitz free scalar theory. We present simple intuitive arguments based on "non-local" effects of this theory that the scaling of entanglement entropy depends on the dynamical exponent as a characteristic parameter of the theory. The scaling is such that in the massless theory for small entangling regions it leads to area law in the Lorentzian limit and volume law in th… Show more

“…Such a behavior is not surprising because as discussed in [45] the spatial correlations between subregions become stronger for larger values of z. On the other hand as is clear from the graphs, E W is monotonically decreasing as the hyperscaling violating exponent increases.…”

“…This happens as the critical exponent assumes z ± = (3 ± √ 13)/2, or approximately, z − ≃ −0.3 or z + ≃ 3.3. Non integer critical exponents have appeared in previous studies, e.g., [33,[48][49][50][51] -and references therein. Specially in [48,49] the authors argue that although the Lifshitz critical exponents in the action of a quantum field theory developing Lifshitz symmetry are assumed to be integer, there is no such limitation indeed since the obtained dispersion relation in the Hamiltonian density associated with the quantized theory shows the exact analytic continuation to non integer values of z.…”
