Abstract: Multipartite entanglement has a much more complex structure than bipartite entanglement. A state that lacks generic multipartite entanglement is 2-producible, i.e. it can be written as a tensor product of at most 2-partite entangled states. Recently, it has been proved that a tripartite pure state is 2-producible if and only if the gap between the entanglement of purification and its lower bound vanishes. Here, we show that the entanglement of purification gap is insufficient to detect more than tripartite entanglement in 4-partite stabilizer states. We then generalize entanglement of purification to the multipartite cases, and demonstrate that a multipartite pure state is 2-producible if and only if all the generalized entanglement of purification gaps vanish. The generalized entanglement of purification gap quantifies the quantum communication cost for redistributing one part of the system to the others, and also relates to the local recoverability of a multipartite state and the relative entropy between that state and 2-producible states. Moreover, we calculate the generalized entanglement of purification for states satisfying the general Schmidt decomposition, which implies that 4-partite stabilizer states do not necessarily have a general Schmidt decomposition. Our results provide a quantitative characterization of multipartite entanglement in multipartite system, which will promote further investigations and understanding of multipartite entanglement.
