Abstract

Using the density matrix renormalization group, we investigate the Renyi entropy of the anisotropic spin-s Heisenberg chains in a z-magnetic field. We considered the half-odd integer spin-s chains, with s=1/2,3/2 and 5/2, and periodic and open boundary conditions. In the case of the spin-1/2 chain we were able to obtain accurate estimates of the new parity exponents and that gives the power-law decay of the oscillations of the Renyi entropy for periodic and open boundary conditions, respectively. We confirm the relations of these exponents with the Luttinger parameter , as proposed by Calabrese et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 095701 (2010)]. Moreover, the predicted periodicity of the oscillating term was also observed for some non-zero values of the magnetization . We show that for the amplitudes of the oscillations are quite small, and get accurate estimates of and become a challenge. Although our estimates of the new universal exponents and for the spin-3/2 chain are not so accurate, they are consistent with the theoretical predictions.
