Gravity Theories and Their Avatars @CCTP, Crete July 13-19, 2012 Holographic Entanglement Entropy from Cond-mat to Emergent Spacetime Tadashi Takayanagi Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP), Kyoto University Based on arXiv 1111.1023(JHEP 2012(125)1) with N. Ogawa (RIKEN) and T. Ugajin (IPMU/YITP) + on going work with M.Nozaki (YITP) and S.Ryu (Ilinois,Urbana-S.) Contents ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ Introduction Entanglement Entropy and Fermi surfaces Holographic Entanglement Entropy (HEE) Fermi Surfaces and HEE Emergent Metric via Quantum Entanglement Conclusions ① Introduction– from cond-mat viewpoint AdS/CFT is a very powerful method to understand strongly coupled condensed matter systems. Especially, the calculations become most tractable in the strong coupling and large N limit of gauge theories. In this limit, the AdS side is given by a classical gravity and we can naturally expect universal behaviors such as the no hair theorem in GR, η/s=1/4π, etc. So, we concentrate on this limit for a while. We would like to consider what is a universal properties for metallic condensed matter systems via AdS/CFT. The metals are usually described by the Landau’s Fermi liquids. It is well-known that Fermi liquid states are stable against perturbations by the Coulomb forces. However, in strongly correlated electron systems such as the Strange Metal strange metal phase of high Tc superconductors or heavy fermion Fermi Liquid systems etc., we encounter Pseudo Gap so called non-Fermi liquids. Mott Insulator SC Figs taken from Sachdev 0907.0008 So, one of the main purposes of this talk is to answer the question: Can we obtain Landau’s Fermi liquids in the classical gravity limit ? Note: Several interesting setups of (non-)Fermi liquids have already been found. (i) Probe fermions in SUGRA b.g. [Rey 07, Faulkner-Liu-McGreevy-Vegh 09, Cubrovic-Zaanen-Schalm 09, DeWolfe-Gubser-Rosen 11, 12] (ii) Electron stars (Lifshitz metric in the IR) [Hartnoll-Tavanfar 2010] ⇒ ∃Fermi surfaces, but, not in the leading order O(N2) of the large N limit. Systems with Fermi surfaces ⇔ Fermi liquids or non-Fermi liquids So, we concentrate on systems with Fermi surfaces. To make the presentation simpler, we will work for 2+1 dim. systems with Fermi surfaces. But our analysis can be generalized to higher dimensions, straightforwardly. ky Fermi surface Fermi sea kx How to characterize the Fermi surfaces ? Metals ⇒ Conductivity ? But it seems difficult to find universal results for conductivity in the gravity dual. This is because it is related to the propagation of U(1) gauge fields in AdS, whose behavior largely depends on the precise Lagrangian of gauge fields e.g. f(φ)F2 . So we want to find a quantity whose gravity dual is closely related to the metric (i.e. gravity field). ⇒ We should look at a thermodynamical quantity ! One traditional candidate is the specific heat C. For (Landau’s) fermi liquids, we always have the behavior C S T V . This linear specific heat can be understood if we note that we can approximate the excitations of Fermi liquids by an infinite copies of 2 dim. CFTs. k // E Fermi surface kF E k // k k y Fermi sea FL CFT ( k ) 2 F |k| kF Fermi surface kx In 2d CFT, we know C S T L. In this way, we can estimate the specific heat of the Fermi liquids C S T L ( Lk F ) k F T V . However, the linear specific heat is not true for non-Fermi liquids. This is because they have anomalous dynamical exponents z. (~infinite copies of 2d Lifshitz theory: (t , x) ~ ( z t , x) ) C S T 1/ z V . To characterize the existence of Fermi surfaces, we need to look at a property which is common to both the FL and non-FL. ⇒ The entanglement entropy is a suitable quantity. After we concentrate on the systems with Fermi surfaces, we can distinguish between FL and non-FL by calculating the specific heat. ② Entanglement Entropy and Fermi surfaces (2-1) Definition and Properties of Entanglement Entropy Divide a quantum system into two subsystems A and B: Example: Spin Chain H tot H A H B . A B We define the reduced density matrix A for A by taking trace over the Hilbert space of B . Now the entanglement entropy S A is defined by the von-Neumann entropy In QFTs, it is defined geometrically: N : time slice B A A B (2-2) Area law [Bombelli-Koul-Lee-Sorkin 86, Srednicki 93] EE in QFTs includes UV divergences. Area Law In a (d+1 ) dim. QFT with a UV fixed point, the leading term of EE is proportional to the area of the (d-1) dim. boundary A : Area( A) SA ~ (subleading terms), d 1 a where a is a UV cutoff (i.e. lattice spacing). Intuitively, this property is understood like: Most strongly entangled A ∂A However, there are two known exceptions: (a) 1+1 dim. CFT B A B [Holzhey-Larsen-Wilczek 94, Calabrese-Cardy 04] (b) ∃Fermi surfaces ( ) A [Wolf 05, Gioev-Klich 05] (2-3) Fermi Surfaces and Entanglement Entropy Why do Fermi Liquids violate the area law ? This can be understood if we remember that the Fermi liquids can be though of as infinite copies of 2d CFTs: d 1 L B A B l We will mainly assume this choice of subsystem A below. Recently, there have been evidences that this logarithmic behavior is true also for non-Fermi liquids (e.g.spin liquids). [Swingle 09,10, Zhang-Grover-Vishwanath 11 etc.] Intuitively, we can naturally expect this because the logarithmic behavior does not change if we introduce the dynamical z exponent z in the 2d theory as log l z log l. Therefore we find the characterization: ∃Fermi surface ⇔ Logarithmic behavior of EE To apply the AdS/CFT, we will embed the Fermi surface in a CFT. In this case, the leading divergence still satisfies the area law. But the subleading finite term has the logarithmic behavior: Ld 1 d 1 S A d 1 ( L k F ) log(l k F ) . a if we assume l k F 1 . d 1 L B A B l So, we will concentrate on the gravity dual whose entanglement entropy has this behavior in our arguments below. ③ Holographic Entanglement Entropy Holographic Entanglement Entropy Formula A A is the minimal area surface (codim.=2) such that A A and A ~ A . homologous (We omit the time direction.)

But, so many evidences and no counter examples. [A Partial List of Evidences] Area law follows straightforwardly [Ryu-TT 06] Agreements with analytical 2d CFT results for AdS3 [Ryu-TT 06] Holographic proof of strong subadditivity [Headrick-TT 07] Consistency of 2d CFT results for disconnected subsystems [Calabrese-Cardy-Tonni 09] with our holographic formula [Headrick 10] Agreement on the coefficient of log term in 4d CFT (~a+c) [Ryu-TT 06, Solodukhin 08,10, Lohmayer-Neuberger-Schwimmer-Theisen 09, Dowker 10, Casini-Huerta, 10, Myers-Sinha 10] A direct proof when A = round ball [Casini-Hueta-Myers 11] Holographic proof of Cadney-Linden-Winter inequality [Hayden-Headrick-Maloney 11] ④ Fermi Surfaces and HEE [Ogawa-Ugajin-TT 11] (4-1) Setup of gravity dual For simplicity, we consider a general gravity dual of 2+1 dim. systems. The general metric can be written as follows (up to diff.) 2 R ds 2 2 f ( z )dt 2 g ( z )dz 2 dx 2 dy 2 , z where f(z) and g(z) are arbitrary functions. We impose that it is asymptotically AdS4 i.e. f ( z ) 1 and g ( z) 1 when z 0. (4-2) Holographic EE Now we would like to calculate the HEE for this gravity dual. We choose the subsystem as the strip width l as before x L B A y B l x AdS Bdy the minimal surface condition reads l 2 l 2 A z* z In the end, we obtain R2L R2L SA kn GN z F 2G N a l zF n 1 n 1 ..., when the size of subsystem A is large l z F . In this case, the minimal surface extends to the IR region deeply. ⇒ The logarithmic behavior of EE is realized just when n=1. z i.e. Fermi Surface g ( z ) zF 2 ( z ) . We identify z F as a characteristic scale of the Fermi energy. Note: f(z) does not affect the HEE and is still arbitrary. (4-3) Null Energy Condition To have a sensible holographic dual, a necessary condition is known as the null energy condition: 1 T N N R Rg N N 0 2 for any null vector N . In the IR region, the null energy condition argues g ( z) z 2 , f ( z ) z 2 m m 1. At finite temperature, we expect that the solution is given by a black brane extension of our background: 2 2 2 dz dx dy 2 2 2 ( m 1) 2 . ds R z h( z )dt ~ 2 z h ( z ) The `non-extremal factors’ behave near the horizon zH z h( z ) , zH z zH zH z ~ h ( z) . zH From this, we can easily find the behavior of specific heat: C S T 2 m2 . Combined with the null energy condition: C T m 1 , we obtain 2 with . 3 Notice that this excludes the Landau’s Fermi liquids (α=1). In summary, we find that classical gravity duals only allow non-fermi liquids. Comments: (i) This result might not be so unnatural as the non-Fermi liquids are expected in strongly correlated systems. (ii) Even in the presence of perturbative higher derivative corrections, the result does not seem to be changed. (iii) Some miracle coincidences ?

[cf. Emergent gravity: Raamsdonk 09, Lee 09] (5-2) Tensor Network (TN) [See e.g. Vidal 1106.1082 and references therein] Recently, there have been remarkable progresses in numerical algorithms for quantum lattice models, based on so called tensor product states. Basically, people try to find nice variational ansatzs for the ground state wave functions for various spin systems. ⇒ An ansatz is good if it respects the quantum entanglement of the true ground state.
