Abstract

In the presence of finite chemical potential μ\mu, we holographically compute the entanglement of purification in a 2+12+1- and 3+13+1-dimensional field theory and also in a 3+13+1-dimensional field theory with a critical point. We observe that compared to 2+12+1- and 3+13+1-dimensional field theories, the behavior of entanglement of purification near critical point is different and it is not a monotonic function of μT\frac{\mu}{T} where TT is the temperature of the field theory. Therefore, the entanglement of purification distinguishes the critical point in the field theory. We also discuss the dependence of the holographic entanglement of purification on the various parameters of the theories. Moreover, the critical exponent is calculated.
