Wilsonian Effective Action and Entanglement Entropy

This is a continuation of our previous works on entanglement entropy (EE) in interacting field theories. In arXiv:2103.05303, we have proposed the notion of $\mathbb{Z}_M$ gauge theory on Feynman diagrams to calculate EE in quantum field theories and shown that EE consists of two particular contributions from propagators and vertices. As shown in the next paper arXiv:2105.02598, the purely non-Gaussian contributions from interaction vertices can be interpreted as renormalized correlation functions of composite operators. In this paper, we will first provide a unified matrix form of EE containing both contributions from propagators and (classical) vertices, and then extract further non-Gaussian contributions based on the framework of the Wilsonian renormalization group. It is conjectured that the EE in the infrared is given by a sum of all the vertex contributions in the Wilsonian effective action.
