• Abstract: We study genuine multi-entropy as a diagnostic of multipartite entanglement in the toric code, which provides a controlled setting for probing multipartite structures in topologically ordered states. Our main question is whether genuine multi-entropy captures information that is not reducible to conventional lower-party entropic data, such as topological entanglement entropy. We first analyze toric-code ground states that admit a stabilizer-state description, where the relevant quantities can be evaluated exactly. In this sector, genuine multi-entropy reflects the topological structure and symmetries of the toric code, while exhibiting highly constrained relations to lower-party multi-entropies. We conjecture that, for stabilizer states and ${q}\ge4$, the ${q}$-partite genuine multi-entropy at replica index $n<{q}$ collapses to a linear combination of multi-entropies involving at most ${q}-2$ parties. We establish this pattern explicitly for ${q}=4$ in the toric code stabilizer sector: for $n=2,3$, the genuine multi-entropy is proportional to the tripartite information $I_3$ and, for the Kitaev--Preskill partition, contains no independent genuine four-partite information beyond that captured by the topological entanglement entropy. At $n=4$, however, this reduction breaks down: the genuine multi-entropy is no longer proportional to $I_3$, but remains a topological invariant of the toric-code stabilizer ground states. For generic non-stabilizer superpositions within the ground-state manifold and for coherent superpositions of local excitations, the low-$n$ reduction also fails. These results show that genuine multi-entropy probes multipartite entanglement structure beyond the tripartite information, and hence beyond the topological entanglement entropy in the Kitaev--Preskill partition, whereas for stabilizer states at low replica index it reduces to lower-partite entropic data.

  Most entropy measures depend on the spread of the probability distribution over the sample space $mathcalX|$. In this work, we question the role of cardinality and distribution spread in defining entropy measures for continuous spaces. We find that the average value of the local intrinsic dimension of a distribution, denoted as ID-Entropy, can serve as a robust entropy measure for continuous spaces.
