Entanglement entropy, dualities, and deconfinement in gauge theories

Abstract Computing the entanglement entropy in confining gauge theories is often accompanied by puzzles and ambiguities. In this work we show that compactifying the theory on a small circle SL1 $$ {\mathbb{S}}_L^1 $$ evades these difficulties. In particular, we study Yang-Mills theory on ℝ3×SL1 $$ {...
