Parity Effects in the Scaling of Block Entanglement in Gapless Spin Chains

Parity Effects in the Scaling of Block Entanglement in Gapless Spin Chains

We consider the Renyi alpha-entropies for Luttinger liquids (LL). For large block lengths l these are known to grow like ln l. We show that there are subleading terms that oscillate with frequency 2k_F (the Fermi wave number of the LL) and exhibit a universal power-law decay with l. The …
