In this case, one has a peculiar long-range hopping between the intervals in addition to the well-known and dominant short-range hopping. We show how the continuum expressions can be recovered from the lattice results for general filling and arbitrary intervals. We also discuss the closely related case of a single interval located at a certain distance from the end of a semi-infinite chain and the continuum limit for this problem. Finally, we show that for the double interval in the continuum a commuting operator exists which can be used to find the eigenstates.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-04-08T09:47:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "entanglement hamiltonian", "disjoint intervals", "non-local properties", "continuum limit", "dominant short-range" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
