abstract

In recent work arxiv:2410.00112 , we computed a novel flux tube entanglement entropy (FTE$^2$) of the color flux tube stretched between a heavy quark-antiquark pair on a Euclidean lattice in (2+1)D Yang-Mills theory. Our numerical results suggested that FTE$^2$ can be partitioned into an internal color entanglement entropy and a vibrational entropy corresponding to the transverse excitations of a QCD string, with the latter described by a thin string model. Since the color flux tube does not have transverse excitations in (1+1)D, we analytically compute the contribution of the internal color degrees of freedom to FTE$^2$ in this simpler framework. For the multipartite partitioning of the color flux tube, we find the remarkable result that FTE$^2$ only depends on the number of times the flux tube crosses the border between two spatial regions, and the dimension of the representation of the color group, but not on the string length. The result holds independently of whether the branching points are placed on the vertices of the lattice or in the center of plaquettes.

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In holographic Schwinger pair production, the excess capacity of entanglement is √λ(d−2)/(d−1)³ — positive for d>2, zero for d=2 — so the produced pair carries nonlocal magic for d>2.

    The vacuum-subtracted Rényi response of a momentum-projected hadron equals 1/(1-n) times the log of a replicated source-sink correlator on the cut geometry divided by the n-th power of the ordinary correlator.

    A worm-algorithm boundary-deformation method computes ∂ℓ entanglement entropy in finite-density O(N) models, with initial O(4) results in 3D and an internal consistency check.

    hep-lat 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Preliminary lattice data support the conjecture that the internal color entanglement entropy of a flux tube equals <F> log N_c, where <F> is the average number of boundary crossings.

  6. Thermal and chemical response from entanglement entropy

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The derivative of entanglement entropy with respect to region size equals the thermal entropy density, and a generalized Maxwell relation connects it to charge density — tested nonperturbatively in the 3D O(4) model.
