Non-Gaussianity of Entanglement Entropy and Correlations of Composite Operators

arXiv:2105.02598 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.103.125019

Abstract

This is an extended version of the previous paper arXiv:2103.05303 to study entanglement entropy (EE) of a half space in interacting field theories. In the previous paper, we have proposed a novel method to calculate EE based on the notion of gauge theory on Feynman diagrams, and shown that EE consists of two particular contributions, one from a renormalized two-point correlation function in the two-particle irreducible (2PI) formalism and another from interaction vertices. In this paper, we further investigate them in more general field theories and show that the non-Gaussian contributions from vertices can be interpreted as renormalized correlation functions of composite operators.
