We consider the problem of the decomposition of the Renyi entanglement entropies in theories with a non-abelian symmetry by doing a thorough analysis of Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models. We first consider $SU(2)_k$ as a case study and then generalise to an arbitrary non-abelian Lie group. We find that at leading order in the subsystem size $L$ the entanglement is equally distributed among the different sectors labelled by the irreducible representation of the associated algebra. We also identify the leading term that breaks this equipartition: it does not depend on $L$ but only on the dimension of the representation. Moreover, a $loglog L$ contribution to the Renyi entropies exhibits a universal form related to the underlying symmetry group of the model, i.e. the dimension of the Lie group.

We revisit various topological issues concerning four-dimensional ungauged and gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) terms for $SU$ and $SO$ quantum chromodynamics (QCD), from the modern bordism point of view. We explain, for example, why the definition of
the $4d$ WZW terms requires the spin structure. We also discuss how the mixed anomaly involving the 1-form symmetry of $SO$ QCD is reproduced in the low-energy sigma model.
We continue the study of the gl(1|1) Wess-Zumino-Witten model. The Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations for the one, two, three and four point functions are analyzed, for vertex operators corresponding to typical and projective representations. We illust
rate their interplay with the logarithmic global conformal Ward identities. We compute the four point function for one projective and three typical representations. Three coupled first order Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations are integrated consecutively in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions, and we assemble the solutions into a local correlator. Moreover, we prove crossing symmetry of the four point function of four typical representations at generic momenta. Throughout, the map between the gl(1|1) Wess-Zumino-Witten model and symplectic fermions is exploited and extended.
We shall give an axiomatic construction of Wess-Zumino-Witten actions valued in (G=SU(N)), (Ngeq 3). It is realized as a functor ({WZ}) from the category of conformally flat four-dimensional manifolds to the category of line bundles with connection t
hat satisfies, besides the axioms of a topological field theory, the axioms which abstract Wess-Zumino-Witten actions. To each conformally flat four-dimensional manifold (Sigma) with boundary (Gamma=partialSigma), a line bundle (L=WZ(Gamma)) with connection over the space (Gamma G) of mappings from (Gamma) to (G) is associated. The Wess-Zumino-Witten action is a non-vanishing horizontal section (WZ(Sigma)) of the pull back bundle (r^{ast}L) over (Sigma G) by the boundary restriction (r). (WZ(Sigma)) is required to satisfy a generalized Polyakov-Wiegmann formula with respect to the pointwise multiplication of the fields (Sigma G). Associated to the WZW-action there is a geometric descrption of extensions of the Lie group (Omega^3G) due to J. Mickelsson. In fact we shall construct two abelian extensions of (Omega^3G) that are in duality.
We argue that the entanglement entropy for a very small subsystem obeys a property which is analogous to the first law of thermodynamics when we excite the system. In relativistic setups, its effective temperature is proportional to the inverse of th
e subsystem size. This provides a universal relationship between the energy and the amount of quantum information. We derive the results using holography and confirm them in two dimensional field theories. We will also comment on an example with negative specific heat and suggest a connection between the second law of thermodynamics and the strong subadditivity of entanglement entropy.
Recent experiments on twisted bilayer graphene have shown a high-temperature parent state with massless Dirac fermions and broken electronic flavor symmetry; superconductivity and correlated insulators emerge from this parent state at lower temperatu
res. We propose that the superconducting and correlated insulating orders are connected by Wess-Zumino-Witten terms, so that defects of one order contain quanta of another order and skyrmion fluctuations of the correlated insulator are a mechanism for superconductivity. We present a comprehensive listing of plausible low-temperature orders, and the parent flavor symmetry breaking orders. The previously characterized topological nature of the band structure of twisted bilayer graphene plays an important role in this analysis.
