Abstract

In this work we study the flow of holographic entanglement entropy in dimensions d3d \geq 3 in the gauge/gravity duality set up. We observe that a generalized entanglement temperature TgT_g can be defined which gives the Hawking temperature THT_H in the infrared region and leads to a generalized thermodynamics like law E=(d1d)Tg SREEE= \left(\frac{d-1}{d}\right)T_g~S_{REE}, which becomes an exact relation in the entire region of the subsystem size ll, including both the infrared (ll\rightarrow\infty) as well as the ultraviolet (l0l\rightarrow 0) regions. Furthermore, in the IR limit, TgT_g produces the Hawking temperature THT_H along with some correction terms which bears the signature of short distance correlations along the entangling surface. Moreover, for d3d\geq 3, the IR limit of the renormalized holographic entanglement entropy gives the thermal entropy of the black hole as the leading term, however, does not have a logarithmic correction to the leading term unlike the BTZ black hole (d=2d=2) case. The generalized entanglement temperature TgT_g also firmly captures the quantum mechanical to thermal crossover in the dual field theory at a critical value lcl_c of the subsystem size in the boundary which we graphically represent for AdS3+1AdS_{3+1} and AdS4+1AdS_{4+1} black holes. We observe that this critical value lcl_c where the crossover takes place decreases with increase in the dimension of the spacetime.
