It is known that in one dimension, an area law for entanglement entropy persists through small perturbations of the system. In this talk, I will describe an argument of T. Matsui giving an expression of entanglement entropy for a state in terms of the associated cyclic representation of the quasi-local algebra. I will demonstrate that the effect of perturbations on the entropy is represented through “local twisting” of the cyclic vector.
