Abstract

We consider the left-right entanglement (LREE) entropy in 1+1 dimensions for WZW models on a circle, and for WZW models on untwisted and twisted D-branes. The consequences of level-rank duality for these applications is presented which provides a map of LREE from large to small central charge.

LREE of a dynamical unstable Dp-brane

Shirin Teymourtashlou, Davoud Kamani

We derive the left-right entanglement entropy (LREE) for a bosonic Dp-brane. This brane has tangential dynamics and has been dressed by a U(1) gauge potential, the Kalb-Ramond field and a tachyon field. For this purpose, the Rényi entropy will be computed and then, by taking a special limit of it, the LREE will be obtained. Besides, the behavior of the LREE under the tachyon condensation process will be evaluated. In addition, after the transition of the system, i.e. the collapse of the unstable brane, the second law of the thermodynamics on the LREE will be checked. We find that preserving the second law imposes some conditions on the parameters of the setup.

Left-right entanglement entropy of Dp-branes

Leopoldo A. Pando Zayas, Norma Quiroz

We compute the left-right entanglement entropy for Dp-branes in string theory. We employ the CFT approach to string theory Dp-branes, in particular, its presentation as coherent states of the closed string sector. The entanglement entropy is computed as the von Neumann entropy for a density matrix resulting from integration over the left-moving degrees of freedom. We discuss various crucial ambiguities related to sums over spin structures and argue that different choices capture different physics; however, we advance a themodynamic argument that seems to favor a particular choice of replica. We also consider Dp branes on compact dimensions and verify that the effects of T-duality act covariantly on the Dp brane entanglement entropy. We find that generically the left-right entanglement entropy provides a suitable generalization of boundary entropy and of the D-brane tension.

Universal Features of Left-Right Entanglement Entropy

Diptarka Das, Shouvik Datta

We show the presence of universal features in the entanglement entropy of regularized boundary states for (1+1)D conformal field theories on a circle when the reduced density matrix is obtained by tracing over right- or left-moving modes. We derive a general formula for the left-right entanglement entropy in terms of the central charge and the modular S matrix of the theory. When the state is chosen to be an Ishibashi state, this measure of entanglement is shown to precisely reproduce the spatial entanglement entropy of a (2+1)D topological quantum field theory. We explicitly evaluate the left-right entanglement entropies for the Ising model, the tricritical Ising model and the su[over ^](2)_{k} Wess-Zumino-Witten model as examples.

LREE of a dressed Dp-brane with transverse motion in the partially compact spacetime

Hamidreza Daniali, Davoud Kamani

A bstract In the context of the type IIA/IIB superstring theories, we derive the left-right entanglement entropy (LREE) of a BPS D p -brane with transverse motion in the presence of a U(1) gauge potential and the Kalb-Ramond field in the partially compact spacetime T n ⊗ ℝ 1,9 − n . At first we employ the replica trick to compute the Rényi entropy and then we obtain the entanglement entropy. We examine the results for the special case, i.e. for the D6-brane. Besides, we investigate the thermodynamical entropy, associated with the LREE. This demonstrates that the LREE is precisely equivalent to its thermodynamic counterpart.

LREE of an unstable dressed-dynamical Dp-brane: superstring calculations

Shirin Teymourtashlou, Davoud Kamani

Abstract We obtain the left-right entanglement entropy (LREE) for a Dp-brane with tangential motion in the presence of a U(1) gauge potential, the Kalb–Ramond field and an open string tachyon field. Thus, at first we extract the Rényi entropy and then by taking a special limit of it we acquire the entanglement entropy. We shall investigate the behavior of the LREE under the tachyon condensation phenomenon. We observe that the deformation of the LREE, through this process, reveals the collapse of the brane. Besides, we examine the second law of thermodynamics for the LREE under tachyon condensation, and we extract the imposed constraints. Note that our calculations will be in the context of the type IIA/IIB superstring theories.
