abstract

We study the geometric distribution of the relative entropy of a charged localised state in Quantum Field Theory. With respect to translations, the second derivative of the vacuum relative entropy is zero out of the charge localisation support and positive in mean over the support of any single charge. For a spatial strip, the asymptotic mean entropy density is $\pi E$, with $E$ the corresponding vacuum charge energy. In a conformal QFT, for a charge in a ball of radius $r$, the relative entropy is non linear, the asymptotic mean radial entropy density is $\pi E$ and Bekenstein's bound is satisfied. We also study the null deformation case. We construct, operator algebraically, a positive selfadjoint operator that may be interpreted as the deformation generator, we thus get a rigorous form of the Averaged Null Energy Condition that holds in full generality. In the one dimensional conformal $U(1)$-current model, we give a complete and explicit description of the entropy distribution of a localised charged state in all points of the real line; in particular, the second derivative of the relative entropy is strictly positive in all points where the charge density is non zero, thus the Quantum Null Energy Condition holds here for these states and is not saturated in these points.

    No Rényi-type divergence obeying DPI, tensor additivity and matched cq conditioning admits a universal off-diagonal quantum focusing inequality.

    math.OA 2024-12 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    Euler elements in real Lie algebras provide an abstract geometric index set for wedge-localized nets in algebraic quantum field theory, and the Bisognano-Wichmann property together with regularity forces this Euler structure.
