纠缠熵标度的反常修正

Unusual Corrections to Scaling in Entanglement Entropy

John Cardy, Pasquale Calabrese

摘要:

本文提出了一个修正Renyi熵渐近行为的一般理论,该熵测量了长度为L的区间A与无限一维系统其余部分的纠缠,在这种情况下,用中心荷c的共形场论来描述。这可能是由于尺度维度x>2的大量无关算子,在这种情况下,对于接近1的n值,主要校正具有预期的形式L^{-2(x-2)}。然而,对于n>x/(x-2),形式为L^{2-x-x/n}和L^{-2x/n}的校正出现,并且支配常规项。我们还指出,最后一种类型的校正也可以发生在x小于2的情况下。它们产生于描述约化密度矩阵所必需的锥形时空奇点诱导的相关算子。这与最近的量子自旋链的解析和数值结果相一致。我们还计算了边缘不相关的整体算子的影响,其给出了具有普遍振幅的校正(log L)^{-2}。我们提出了类似的结果的情况下,区间位于一个半无限系统的末端。

英文摘要:

We present a general theory of the corrections to the asymptotic behaviour of the Renyi entropies which measure the entanglement of an interval A of length L with the rest of an infinite one-dimensional system, in the case when this is described by a conformal field theory of central charge c. These can be due to bulk irrelevant operators of scaling dimension x>2, in which case the leading corrections are of the expected form L^{-2(x-2)} for values of n close to 1. However for n>x/(x-2) corrections of the form L^{2-x-x/n} and L^{-2x/n} arise and dominate the conventional terms. We also point out that the last type of corrections can also occur with x less than 2. They arise from relevant operators induced by the conical space-time singularities necessary to describe the reduced density matrix. These agree with recent analytic and numerical results for quantum spin chains. We also compute the effect of marginally irrelevant bulk operators, which give a correction (log L)^{-2}, with a universal amplitude. We present analogous results for the case when the interval lies at the end of a semi-infinite system.
