Power law corrections to BTZ black hole entropy

Abstract

We study the quantum scalar field in the background of BTZ black hole and evaluate the entanglement entropy of the nonvacuum states. The entropy is proportional to the area of event horizon for the ground state, but the area law is violated in the case of nonvacuum states (first excited state and mixed states) and the corrections scale as power law.

Power-law corrections to entanglement entropy of horizons

Saurya Das, S. Shankaranarayanan, Sourav Sur

We reexamine the idea that the origin of black-hole entropy may lie in the entanglement of quantum fields between the inside and outside of the horizon. Motivated by the observation that certain modes of gravitational fluctuations in a black-hole background behave as scalar fields, we compute the entanglement entropy of such a field, by tracing over its degrees of freedom inside a sphere. We show that while this entropy is proportional to the area of the sphere when the field is in its ground state, a correction term proportional to a fractional power of area results when the field is in a superposition of ground and excited states. The area law is thus recovered for large areas. Further, we identify the location of the degrees of freedom that give rise to the above entropy.

How are the degree of freedom responsible for entropy in BTZ spacetime

Dharm Veer Singh, Shobhit Sachan

We are using entanglement entropy approach to study how the entropy depends upon the location of degrees of freedom near and far from the horizon. We consider quantum fields in the vicinity of black holes space-time, the entropy receives log- arithmic and power law corrections in area law. The power law corrections arises when the fields are in excited or mixed state (superposition of ground and excited state)a but logarithmic corrections are present in ground state. In this paper, we try to understand physically the deviation from the area law for the excited and mixed state. We show that the degrees of freedom near to the horizon contribute the total entropy, but when degrees of freedom far away from the horizon are more significant for excited/mixed state instead of ground state.

How are the degrees of freedom responsible for entropy in BTZ spacetime?

Dharm Veer Singh, Shobhit Sachan

The entanglement entropy approach to study the dependence of entropy upon the location of degrees of freedom (dof) (near/far) from the horizon is discussed in this article. We try to understand the physical deviation of the area law for the excited states by incorporating the logarithmic and power law corrections. We show that the dof near the horizon gives contribution to the total entropy of the system in the ground state and away from the event horizon gives contribution to the excited state.

Fermion Fields in BTZ Black Hole Space-Time and Entanglement Entropy

Dharm Veer Singh, Sanjay Siwach

We study the entanglement entropy of fermion fields in BTZ black hole space-time and calculate prefactor of the leading and subleading terms and logarithmic divergence term of the entropy using the discretized model. The leading term is the standard Bekenstein-Hawking area law and subleading term corresponds to first quantum corrections in black hole entropy. We also investigate the corrections to entanglement entropy for massive fermion fields in BTZ space-time. The mass term does not affect the area law.

How robust is the entanglement entropy-area relation?

Saurya Das, S. Shankaranarayanan

We revisit the problem of finding the entanglement entropy of a scalar field on a lattice by tracing over its degrees of freedom inside a sphere. It is known that this entropy satisfies the area law---entropy proportional to the area of the sphere---when the field is assumed to be in its ground state. We show that the area law continues to hold when the scalar field degrees of freedom are in generic coherent states and a class of squeezed states. However, when excited states are considered, the entropy scales as a lower power of the area. This suggests that, for large horizons, the ground state entropy dominates, whereas entropy due to excited states gives power-law corrections. We discuss possible implications of this result to black hole entropy.

Logarithmic corrections to the entropy of scalar field in BTZ black hole spacetime

Dharm Veer Singh, Shobhit Sachan

The entanglement entropy correlates two quantum subsystems which are part of a larger system. A logarithmic divergence term present in the entanglement entropy is universal in nature and directly proportional to the conformal anomaly. We study this logarithmic divergence term of entropy for massive scalar field in [Formula: see text] dimensions by applying numerical techniques to entanglement entropy approach. This (2+1)-dimensional massive theory can be obtained from the (3+1)-dimensional massless scalar field via dimensional reduction. We also calculated mass corrections to entanglement entropy for scalar field. Finally, we observe that the area law contribution to the entanglement entropy is not affected by this mass term and the universal quantities depend upon the basic properties of the system.
