Abstract

In this paper we have studied the effect of deformation and temperature on holographic entanglement entropy and mutual information between two subsystems in a deformed field theory at finite temperature. The $T\overline{T}$ deformation operator in field theory introduces a cutoff in the dual gravity background. We define different regimes of parameters and calculate the entanglement entropy and mutual information analytically. We observe that temperature and deformation parameter have similar effects on entanglement entropy and mutual information. They both lead to decrease in mutual information or somehow the correlation between the two subsystems. Interestingly we observe the emergence of correction terms in entanglement entropy and mutual information that are universal and do not depend on the scale of the nonlocal operator.

Holographic mutual information at finite temperature

Willy Fischler, Arnab Kundu, Sandipan Kundu

Using the Ryu-Takayanagi conjectured formula for entanglement entropy in the context of gauge-gravity duality, we investigate properties of mutual information between two disjoint rectangular subsystems in finite temperature relativistic conformal field theories in $d$ spacetime dimensions and nonrelativistic scale-invariant theories in some generic examples. In all these cases, mutual information undergoes a transition beyond which it is identically zero. We study this transition in detail and find universal qualitative features for the above class of theories, which has holographic dual descriptions. We also obtain analytical results for mutual information in the specific regime of the parameter space. This demonstrates that mutual information contains the quantum entanglement part of the entanglement entropy, which is otherwise dominated by the thermal entropy at large temperatures.

Mixed state entanglement in deformed field theory at finite temperature

Sanjay Pant, Himanshu Parihar

We study mixed state entanglement measures in a higher dimensional T T ¯ deformed field theory at finite temperature. The holographic dual is described by AdS d + 1 black brane geometry with a finite cutoff. We compute the entanglement wedge cross section (EWCS), proposed to be dual to entanglement of purification and holographic entanglement negativity (HEN) for striplike subsystems. The behavior of EWCS and HEN is studied across different regimes of temperature and deformation parameter. It is observed that the deformation and temperature exhibit similar effects on these two entanglement measures. Increasing the deformation leads to a decrease in the entanglement between the subsystems.

Holographic study of $$ T\overline{T} $$ like deformed HV QFTs: holographic entanglement entropy

Hyun-Sik Jeong, Wen-Bin Pan, Ya-Wen Sun +1 more

Abstract We study the (d + 2)-dimensional Hyperscaling Violating (HV) geometries in the presence of both a finite temperature T and a UV cutoff rc. This gravitational system is conjectured to be dual to $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ like deformed HV QFTs. We consider the representative quantum entanglement quantity in holography, i.e. the entanglement entropy S(A), and perform a complete analysis in all possible parameter ranges of the hyperscaling violation exponent θ and the critical dynamical exponent z to study the effect of the temperature and the cutoff. We find that the temperature has a universal effect independent of the parameters: it enhances S(A) in the small cutoff limit, while it is irrelevant in the large cutoff limit. For the cutoff effect, we find that the cutoff monotonically suppresses S(A) where its behavior depends on the parameter range. As an application of the finite temperature analysis, we study the first law of entanglement entropy, ST – ST =0 ~ ℓλ, in the small subsystem size ℓ limit. We find that λ interpolates between λ = 1 + z in the small cutoff and λ = 3 in the large cutoff, independent of the parameter range. We also provide the analytic holographic result at z = d – θ and discuss its possibility of comparison with the field theoretic result.

Holographic entanglement entropy of nonlocal field theories

Da-Wei Pang

We study the holographic entanglement entropy of nonlocal field theories at both extremality and finite temperature. The gravity duals, constructed by Nozaki et al. [J. High Energy Phys. 10 (2012) 193], are characterized by a parameter $w$. Both the zero-temperature backgrounds and the finite-temperature counterparts are exact solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. For the extremal case we consider the examples where the entangling regions are a strip and a sphere. We find that the leading-order behavior of the entanglement entropy always exhibits a volume law when the size of the entangling region is sufficiently small. We also clarify the condition under which the next-to-leading-order result is universal. For the finite-temperature case we obtain analytic expressions in both the high-temperature and low-temperature limits. In the former case the leading-order result approaches the thermal entropy, while the finite contribution to the entanglement entropy at extremality can be extracted by taking the zero-temperature limit in the latter case. Moreover, we observe some peculiar properties of the holographic entanglement entropy when $w=1$.

Holographic entanglement entropy on generic time slices

Yuya Kusuki, Tadashi Takayanagi, Koji Umemoto

We study the holographic entanglement entropy and mutual information for Lorentz boosted subsystems. In holographic CFTs at zero and finite temperature, we find that the mutual information gets divergent in a universal way when the end points of two subsystems are light-like separated. In Lifshitz and hyperscaling violating geometries dual to non-relativistic theories, we show that the holographic entanglement entropy is not well-defined for Lorentz boosted subsystems in general. This strongly suggests that in non-relativistic theories, we cannot make a real space factorization of the Hilbert space on a generic time slice except the constant time slice, as opposed to relativistic field theories.

Entanglement and Rényi entropy of multiple intervals in TT¯ -deformed CFT and holography

Hyun-Sik Jeong, Keun-young Kim A, Mitsuhiro Nishida

We study the entanglement entropy (EE) and the R\'enyi entropy (RE) of multiple intervals in two-dimensional $T\overline{T}$- deformed conformal field theory (CFT) at a finite temperature by field theoretic and holographic methods. First, by the replica method with the twist operators, we construct the general formula of the RE and EE up to the first order of a deformation parameter. By using our general formula, we show that the EE of multiple intervals for a holographic CFT is just a summation of the single interval case even with the small deformation. This is a nontrivial consequence from the field theory perspective, though it may be expected by the Ryu-Takayanagi formula in holography. However, the deformed RE of the two intervals is a summation of the single interval case only if the separations between the intervals are big enough. It can be understood by the tension of the cosmic branes dual to the RE. We also study the holographic EE for single and two intervals with an arbitrary cutoff radius (dual to the $T\overline{T}$ deformation) at any temperature. We confirm our holographic results agree with the field theory results with a small deformation and high temperature limit, as expected. For two intervals, there are two configurations for EE: disconnected ($s$-channel) and connected ($t$-channel) ones. We investigate the phase transition between them as we change parameters: as the deformation or temperature increases the phase transition is suppressed and the disconnected phase is more favored.
