We discuss and compute entanglement entropy (EE) in (1+1)-dimensional free Lifshitz scalar field theories with arbitrary dynamical exponents. We consider both the subinterval and periodic sublattices in the discretized theory as subsystems. In both cases, we are able to analytically demonstrate that the EE grows linearly as a function of the dynamical exponent. Furthermore, for the subinterval case, we determine that as the dynamical exponent increases, there is a crossover from an area law to a volume law. Lastly, we deform Lifshitz field theories with certain relevant operators and show that the EE decreases from the ultraviolet to the infrared fixed point, giving evidence for a possible c-theorem for deformed Lifshitz theories.

  1. Scaling at Chiral Clock Criticality via Entanglement Renormalization

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    MERA tensor networks produce continuously varying effective scaling dimensions along the Z3 chiral clock critical line, starting from 3-state Potts values as the chiral parameter increases.

  2. Holographic Krylov Complexity with Lifshitz Scaling and Hyperscaling Violation

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Krylov complexity grows quadratically in pure Lifshitz backgrounds and its late-time exponent is controlled by the hyperscaling violation parameter, with a special oscillatory regime.
