Entanglement Entropy and Variational Methods: Interacting Scalar Fields
Jordan Cotler ; Mark T. Mueller ;
Date 18 Sep 2015
AbstractWe develop a variational approximation to the entanglement entropy for scalar $phi^4$ theory in 1+1, 2+1, and 3+1 dimensions, and then examine the entanglement entropy as a function of the coupling. We find that in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions, the entanglement entropy of $phi^4$ theory as a function of coupling is monotonically decreasing and convex. While $phi^4$ theory with positive bare coupling in 3+1 dimensions is thought to lead to a trivial free theory, we analyze a version of $phi^4$ with infinitesimal negative bare coupling, an asymptotically free theory known as precarious $phi^4$ theory, and explore the monotonicity and convexity of its entanglement entropy as a function of coupling. Within the variational approximation, the stability of precarious $phi^4$ theory is related to the sign of the first and second derivatives of the entanglement entropy with respect to the coupling.
