What is Entanglement transitions in a periodically driven non-Hermitian Ising chain about?

We study entanglement transitions in a periodically driven Ising chain in the presence of an imaginary transverse field $\gamma$ as a function of drive frequency $\omega_D$. In the high drive amplitude and frequency regime, we find a critical value $\gamma=\gamma_c$ below which the steady state half-chain entanglement entropy, $S_{L/2}$, scales with chain length $L$ as $S_{L/2} \sim \ln L$; in contrast, for $\gamma>\gamma_c$, it becomes independent of $L$. In the small $\gamma$ limit, we compute the coefficient, $\alpha$, of the $\ln L$ term analytically using a Floquet perturbation theory and trace its origin to the presence of Fisher-Hartwig jump singularities in the correlation function of the driven chain. We also study the frequency dependence of $\gamma_c$ and show that $\gamma_c \to 0$ at special drive frequencies; at these frequencies, which we analytically compute, $S_{L/2}$ remain independent of $L$ for all $\gamma$. This behavior can be traced to an approximate emergent symmetry of the Floquet Hamiltonian at these drive frequencies which we identify. Finally, we discus the behavior of the driven system at low and intermediate drive frequencies. Our analysis shows the pre
