Abstract

We study the spin-partitioned entanglement Hamiltonian of the one-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model. By combining bosonization with exact diagonalization, we show that tracing out one spin species produces a modular Luttinger liquid, whose properties fundamentally differ from those of the physical system. While the modular spectrum is fully dispersionless and possesses a momentum-independent entanglement gap, its eigenstates exhibit algebraic correlations governed by a single effective Luttinger parameter equal to the geometric mean of the charge and spin Luttinger parameters. The resulting entanglement spectrum displays a universal branching hierarchy in excellent agreement with exact diagonalization. We further demonstrate that the modular ground state is nearly identical to that of the spinless Luttinger liquid. These results uncover a universal modular structure in interacting one-dimensional fermionic systems.
