Symmetry resolution in non-Lorentzian field theories

Abstract

Abstract Starting from the computation of Symmetry Resolved Entanglement Entropy (SREE) for boosted intervals in a two dimensional Conformal Field Theory, we compute the same in various non-Lorentzian limits, viz, Galilean and Carrollian Conformal Field Theory in same number of dimensions. We approach the problem both from a limiting perspective and by using intrinsic symmetries of respective non-Lorentzian conformal algebras. In particular, we calculate the leading order terms, logarithmic terms, and the O 1 $$ \mathcal{O}(1) $$ terms and explicitly show exact compliance with equipartition of entanglement, even in the non-Lorentzian system. Keeping in mind the holographic origin of SREE for the Carrollian limit, we further compute SREE for BMS3-Kac-Moody, which couples a U(1) × U(1) theory with bulk gravity.
