Abstract

We study the entanglement entropy of a scalar filed in 2+1 spacetime where space is modeled by a fuzzy sphere and a fuzzy disc. In both models we evaluate numerically the resulting entropies and find that they are proportional to the number of boundary degrees of freedom. In the Moyal plan limit of the fuzzy disc the entanglement entropy per unit area (length) diverges if the ignored region is of infinite size. The divergence is (interpreted) of IR-UV mixing origin. In general we expect the entanglement entropy per unit area to be finite on a non-commutative space if the ignored region is of finite size.
