Entanglement entropy of a superflow

Abstract

We consider the theory of $N$ free Dirac fermions with a uniformly winding mass, $m{e}^{iqx}$, in two spacetime dimensions. This theory (which describes for instance a superconducting current in an $N$-channel wire) has been proposed to have a higher-spin gravity with scalar matter as the large-$N$ dual. To order $m^2$, however, thermodynamic quantities in it can be computed using standard general relativity instead. Here, we consider the question if the same is true for the entanglement entropy (EE). By comparing results obtained on two sides of the duality, we find that general relativity indeed accounts correctly for the EE of an interval to order $m^2$ (and all orders in $q$).
