Entanglement correction due to local interactions in many-body systems

The correction to the area law for the bipartite min-entanglement entropy of weakly and locally interacting fermions is calculated based on a perturbative extension of the flow equation holography method. Explicit calculations for the one- and two-dimensional case (and similarly for higher dimensions) show that the leading correction to the entanglement entropy of non-interacting fermions up to $U^2$ in the interaction strength does not change the scaling, but only affects the pre-factor of the leading logarithmic term multiplying it by the quasiparticle residue. A term sub-leading to the area law is also present. It is proportional to $U^2$ in the interaction strength and scales linearly with the system size.
