Entanglement of inhomogeneous free fermions on hyperplane lattices

Résumé

We introduce an inhomogeneous model of free fermions on a (D1)-dimensional lattice with D(D1)/2 continuous parameters that control the hopping strength between adjacent sites. We solve this model exactly, and find that the eigenfunctions are given by multidimensional generalizations of Krawtchouk polynomials. We construct a Heun operator that commutes with the chopped correlation matrix, and compute the entanglement entropy numerically for D=2,3,4, for a wide range of parameters. For D=2, we observe oscillations in the sub-leading contribution to the entanglement entropy, for which we conjecture an exact expression. For D>2, we find logarithmic violations of the area law for the entanglement entropy with nontrivial dependence on the parameters.
