The entanglement area law for gapped ground states in two dimensions
Theorem 1.1: for fixed there is such that for every finite induced domain and every Hamiltonian of range and term norm with a unique ground vector and , every has . Corollary 1.2 gives the vertex-boundary forms. The companion proves that on open grids with nearest-neighbour interactions the ground state has a PEPS approximation of bond dimension and global error . It does not treat dimensions three and higher, Renyi entropies, or degenerate ground states, and gives no explicit constant.
