Lieb-Schultz-Mattis, Luttinger, and't Hooft-anomaly matching in lattice systems

M Cheng, N Seiberg - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We analyze lattice Hamiltonian systems whose global symmetries have't Hooft anomalies.
As is common in the study of anomalies, they are probed by coupling the system to classical …

Non-invertible symmetries and LSM-type constraints on a tensor product Hilbert space

N Seiberg, S Seifnashri, SH Shao - SciPost Physics, 2024 - scipost.org
We discuss the exact non-invertible Kramers-Wannier symmetry of 1+ 1d lattice models on a
tensor product Hilbert space of qubits. This symmetry is associated with a topological defect …

Non-Fermi liquids as ersatz Fermi liquids: general constraints on compressible metals

DV Else, R Thorngren, T Senthil - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
A system with charge conservation and lattice translation symmetry has a well-defined filling
ν, which is a real number representing the average charge per unit cell. We show that if ν is …

Boundary criticality of the O (N) model in d= 3 critically revisited

MA Metlitski - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
It is known that the classical O (N) model in dimension d> 3 at its bulk critical point admits
three boundary universality classes: the ordinary, the extra-ordinary and the special. For the …

Quantized Charge Polarization as a Many-Body Invariant in Crystalline Topological States and Hofstadter Butterflies

Y Zhang, N Manjunath, G Nambiar, M Barkeshli - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
We show how to define a quantized many-body charge polarization 𝒫→ for (2+ 1) D
topological phases of matter, even in the presence of nonzero Chern number and magnetic …

Stiefel liquids: Possible non-Lagrangian quantum criticality from intertwined orders

L Zou, YC He, C Wang - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
We propose a new type of quantum liquids, dubbed Stiefel liquids, based on (2+ 1)-
dimensional nonlinear sigma models on target space SO (N)/SO (4), supplemented with …

Characterization and classification of interacting ()-dimensional topological crystalline insulators with orientation-preserving wallpaper groups

N Manjunath, V Calvera, M Barkeshli - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
While free fermion topological crystalline insulators have been largely classified, the
analogous problem in the strongly interacting case has been only partially solved, and the …

Nonzero momentum requires long-range entanglement

L Gioia, C Wang - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
We show that a quantum state in a lattice spin (boson) system must be long-range entangled
if it has nonzero lattice momentum, ie, if it is an eigenstate of the translation symmetry with …

Fermi surface symmetric mass generation

DC Lu, M Zeng, J Wang, YZ You - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Symmetric mass generation (SMG) is a mechanism to give gapless fermions a mass gap by
nonperturbative interactions without generating any fermion bilinear condensation. The …

Mixed-state quantum anomaly and multipartite entanglement

LA Lessa, M Cheng, C Wang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2401.17357, 2024 - arxiv.org
Quantum entanglement measures of many-body states have been increasingly useful to
characterize phases of matter. Here we explore a surprising connection between mixed …
