Entanglement Entropy and the Fermi Surface

Free fermions with a finite Fermi surface are known to exhibit an anomalously large entanglement entropy. The leading contribution to the entanglement entropy of a region of linear size L in d spatial dimensions is S∼L[superscript d-1]logL, a result that should be contrasted with the usual boundary...
