We consider a chiral fermion at non-zero temperature on a circle (i.e., on a torus in the Euclidean formalism) and compute the modular Hamiltonian corresponding to a subregion of the circle. We do this by a very simple procedure based on the method of images, which is presumably generalizable to other situations. Our result is non-local even for a single interval, and even for Neveu-Schwarz boundary conditions. To the best of our knowledge, there are no previous examples of a modular Hamiltonian with this behavior.

Uniqueness of null-local modular flow
For the free massless scalar in a Minkowski causal diamond, the vacuum is the unique state or weight in the vacuum sector whose modular flow is local on the null boundary.

Modular evolutions and causality in two-dimensional conformal field theory
Modular flows preserve causal spacetime ordering inside causal diamonds, but a bilocal modular Hamiltonian can violate local commutativity at spacelike distances.

Relating the modular Hamiltonian to two-point functions
For free scalar fields in any Gaussian state, the modular Hamiltonian restricted to a region is determined by the equal-time two-point functions X and Π via M=Π^{1/2}B^{-1}arcoth(2B)Π^{1/2}, N=Π^{-1/2}B arcoth(2B)Π^{-...
