We establish both an upper and a lower bound on the bipartite entanglement entropy of the ground state of the corresponding quasi-free Fermi gas. The bounds prove that the scaling behaviour of the entanglement entropy remains a logarithmically enhanced area law as in the unperturbed case of the free Fermi gas. The central idea for the upper bound is to use a limiting absorption principle for such kinds of Schr\\\"odinger operators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-06T14:29:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bipartite entanglement entropy", "corresponding quasi-free fermi gas", "entanglement entropy remains", "logarithmically enhanced area law", "absorption principle" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
