Total and Symmetry resolved Entanglement spectra in some Fermionic CFTs from the BCFT approach

Abstract

In this work, we study the universal total and symmetry-resolved entanglement spectra for a single interval of some $2$d Fermionic CFTs using the Boundary Conformal Field theory (BCFT) approach. In this approach, the partition of Hilbert space is achieved by cutting out discs around the entangling boundary points and imposing boundary conditions preserving the extended symmetry under scrutiny. The reduced density moments are then related to the BCFT partition functions and are also found to be diagonal in the symmetry charge sectors. In particular, we first study the entanglement spectra of massless Dirac fermion and modular invariant $Z_2$-gauged Dirac fermion by considering the boundary conditions preserving either the axial or the vector $U(1)$ symmetry. The total entanglement spectra of the modular invariant Dirac fermion are shown to match with the compact boson result at the Bose-Fermi duality radius, while for the massless Dirac fermion, it is found that the boundary entropy term doesn't match with the self-dual compact boson. The symmetry-resolved entanglement is found to be the same in all cases, except for the charge spectrum which is dependent on both the symmetry and the theory. We also study the entanglement spectra of $N$ massless Dirac fermions by considering boundary conditions preserving different chiral $U(1{)}^N$ symmetries. Entanglement spectra are studied for $U(1{)}^M$ subgroups, where $M\le N$, by imposing boundary conditions preserving different chiral symmetries. The total entanglement spectra are found to be sensitive to the representations of the $U(1{)}^M$ symmetry in the boundary theory among other behaviours at $O(1)$. Similar results are also found for the Symmetry resolved entanglement entropies. The characteristic $\log \log \left(\ell /\epsilon \right)$ term of the $U(1)$ symmetry is found to be proportional to $M$ in the symmetry-resolved entanglement spectra.
