Exploring Entanglement Entropy for a Particle on a Torus with constant Metric and constant $U(1)$-Gauge Field

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the entanglement entropy associated with a particle confined to a torus with constant metric and $\theta$-terms related to a constant external $U(1)$-gauge field. Through this investigation, we aim to elucidate the interplay between geometric properties, topological terms, and entanglement entropy. Remarkably, we find that the presence of non-vanishing entanglement entropy is closely tied to fixing the metric. This insight highlights the significant influence of quantum entanglement on our understanding of quantum dynamics in complex spatial configurations.
