Phys. Rev. A 81, 032311 (2010) [4 pages]Universality of the negativity in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick modelReceived 6 October 2009; revised 8 January 2010; published 11 March 2010 The entanglement between noncomplementary blocks of a many-body system, where a part of the system forms an ignored environment, is a largely untouched problem without analytic results. We rectify this gap by studying the logarithmic negativity between two macroscopic sets of spins in an arbitrary tripartition of a collection of mutually interacting spins described by the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Hamiltonian. This entanglement measure is found to be finite and universal at the critical point for any tripartition whereas it diverges for a bipartition. In this limiting case, we show that it behaves as the entanglement entropy, suggesting a deep relation between the scaling exponents of these two independently defined quantities which may be valid for other systems. © 2010 The American Physical Society URL:
