Description
Summary:In this work we compute subleading oscillating terms in the Renyi entropy of Fermi gases and liquids corresponding to 2k sub(F)-like oscillations. Our theoretical tools are the one-dimensional formulation of Fermi liquid entanglement familiar from discussions of the logarithmic violation of the area law and quantum Monte Carlo calculations. The main result is a formula for the oscillating term for any region geometry and a spherical Fermi surface in any dimension. Specializing to two dimensions, we compare this term to numerical calculations of Renyi entropies using the correlation function method and find excellent agreement. We also compare with quantum Monte Carlo data on interacting Fermi liquids where we also find agreement up to moderate interaction strengths.
