Renyi entropy of the critical O(N) model

Abstract

In this article we explore a certain definition of "alternate quantization" for the critical O(N ) model. We elaborate on a prescription to evaluate the Renyi entropy of alternately quantized critical O(N ) model. We show that there exists new saddles of the q-Renyi free energy functional corresponding to putting certain combinations of the Kaluza-Klein modes into alternate quantization. This leads us to an analysis of trying to determine the true state of the theory by trying to ascertain the global minima among these saddle points.
