Direct computation of entanglement entropy from Rindler Hamiltonian

Physics Asked on February 24, 2021

Is there any references in which entanglement entropy (EE) for half space is directly computed from the modular Hamiltonian?

For half space $A$ specified by ${x^1>0}$, the modular Hamiltonian $K_A=-log rho_A$ is given by
$$K_A=2pi int_{x^1>0} d^d x x_1 T^00 (x).$$
While from the definition of EE, EE equals to
$$S_A=mathrm{tr} (rho K_A) +log Z.$$

I have tried to compute $S_A$ following above equations using the Hamiltonian of free scalar but the obtained answer was not consistent with known results (e.g. using replica method, $mathbb{Z}_N$ orbifold).
