Universality in the tripartite information after global quenches: (generalised) quantum XY models

We consider the Rényi-α tripartite information I3α\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ {I}_3^{\left(\alpha \right)} $$\end{document} of three adjacent subsystems in the stationary state emerging after global quenches in noninteracting spin chains from both homogeneous and bipartite states. We identify settings in which I3α\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ {I}_3^{\left(\alpha \right)} $$\end{document} remains nonzero also in the limit of infinite lengths and develop an effective quantum field theory description of free fermionic fields on a ladder. We map the calculation into a Riemann-Hilbert problem with a piecewise constant matrix for a doubly connected domain. We find an explicit solution for α = 2 and an implicit one for α > 2. In the latter case, we develop a rapidly convergent perturbation theory that we use to derive analytic formulae approximating I3α\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ {I}_3^{\left(\alpha \right)} $$\end{document} with outstanding accuracy.
