Abstract

In earlier work, we studied holographic entanglement entropy in QCD phases using a dynamical Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity model whose dual boundary theory mimics essential features of QCD above and below deconfinement. The model although displays subtle differences compared to the standard QCD phases, however, it introduces a notion of temperature in the phase below the deconfinement critical temperature and captures quite well the entanglement and thermodynamic properties of QCD phases. Here we extend our analysis to study the mutual and nn-partite information by considering nn strips with equal lengths and equal separations, and investigate how these quantities leave their imprints in holographic QCD phases. We discover a rich phase diagram with n2n\geq2 strips and the corresponding mutual and nn-partite information shows rich structure, consistent with the thermodynamical transitions, while again revealing some subtleties. Below the deconfinement critical temperature, we find no dependence of the mutual and nn-partite information on temperature and chemical potential.
