• Title: Modular conjugation for the chiral fermion in multicomponent regions on the torus
• Authors: Nicol\'as Abate, Mateo Koifman
• Abstract summary: We focus on the computations for a thermal state on a circle, namely on the euclidean torus. In contrast to the case of the vacuum on the line, this new result has a non-local behaviour even for connected regions. It also presents a novel contribution coming from the purification one has to introduce in order to deal with a mixed state.

• Abstract: We continue the study of the Tomita-Takesaki modular conjugation for a massless Dirac field in a generic multicomponent region in $1+1$ spacetime dimensions. In this paper we focus on the computations for a thermal state on a circle, namely on the euclidean torus. By analytic continuation from the modular flow we arrive at an explicit expression for the modular conjugation in this scenario and derive its relevant limits. In contrast to the case of the vacuum on the line, this new result has a non-local behaviour even for connected regions. It also presents a novel contribution coming from the purification one has to introduce in order to deal with a mixed state: a term that maps the algebra of operators of the region to a copy of the global one, the so called 'second world' algebra.

• Gaussian Entanglement Measure: Applications to Multipartite Entanglement of Graph States and Bosonic Field Theory [50.24983453990065]
  An entanglement measure based on the Fubini-Study metric has been recently introduced by Cocchiarella and co-workers. We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.

• Global becomes local: Efficient many-body dynamics for global master equations [55.2480439325792]
  This work makes progress on the issue of global- vs. local- master equations. We discuss a short-bath-correlation-time expansion in reciprocal (energy) space, leading to a series expansion of the jump operator. We additionally map the local Redfield master equation to a novel local Lindblad form, giving an equation which has the same conceptual advantages of traditional local Lindblad approaches.
