Generalized entanglement temperature and entanglement Smarr relation

Abstract

We observe that in presence of excitation, a thermodynamic Smarr like relation corresponding to a generalized entanglement temperature ($T_g$) can be holographically obtained for the entanglement entropy of a subsystem. Such a relation emerges naturally by demanding that the generalized entanglement temperature produces the exact Hawking temperature as the leading term in the IR limit ($l\rightarrow \infty$). Remarkably, this relation has the same form as the Smarr relation in black hole thermodynamics. We demonstrate this for three spacetime geometries, namely, a background with a nonconformal factor, a hyperscaling violating geometry background, and a charged black hole background which corresponds to a field theory with a finite chemical potential.
