Modular transport in two-dimensional conformal field theory

Abstract We study the quantum transport generated by the bipartite entanglement in two-dimensional conformal field theory at finite density with the U(1) × U(1) symmetry associated to the conservation of the electric charge and of the helicity. The bipartition given by an interval is considered, eit...

description Abstract We study the quantum transport generated by the bipartite entanglement in two-dimensional conformal field theory at finite density with the U(1) × U(1) symmetry associated to the conservation of the electric charge and of the helicity. The bipartition given by an interval is considered, either on the line or on the circle. The continuity equations and the corresponding conserved quantities for the modular flows of the currents and of the energy-momentum tensor are derived. We investigate the mean values of the associated currents and their quantum fluctuations in the finite density representation, which describe the properties of the modular quantum transport. The modular analogues of the Johnson- Nyquist law and of the fluctuation-dissipation relation are found, which encode the thermal nature of the modular evolution.
