Generalized Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem on bosonic symmetry protected topological phases
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose and prove a family of generalized Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) theorems for symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases on boson/spin models in any dimensions. The "conventional" LSM theorem, applicable to e.g. translation invariant system with an odd number spin-1/2 particles per unit cell, forbids symmetric short-range-entangled ground state such system. Here we focus systems no anomaly, where global/crystalline symmetries fractional spins within the cell ensure that SRE must be nontrivial SPT phase anomalous boundary excitations. Depending models, they can either strong or "higher-order" crystalline phases, characterized by surface/hinge/corner states. Furthermore, given group spatial assignment spins, are able determine all possible state, using real space construction based spectral sequence cohomology theory. provide examples one, two three dimensions, discuss physical realization these condensation excitations fractionalized phases.

متن کاملA Multi–Dimensional Lieb–Schultz–Mattis Theorem
For a large class of finite-range quantum spin models with half-integer spins, we prove that uniqueness of the ground state implies the existence of a low-lying excited state. For systems of linear size L, of arbitrary finite dimension, we obtain an upper bound on the excitation energy (i.e., the gap above the ground state) of the form (C logL)/L. This result can be regarded as a multi-dimensio...
متن کاملLieb-Schultz-Mattis in Higher Dimensions
A generalization of the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem to higher dimensional spin systems is shown. The physical motivation for the result is that such spin systems typically either have long-range order, in which case there are gapless modes, or have only short-range correlations, in which case there are topological excitations. The result uses a set of loop operators, analogous to those used in ...
متن کاملSome remarks on the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem and its extension to higher dimensions
The extension of the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem to dimensions larger than one is discussed. It is explained why the variational wave-function built by the previous authors is of no help to prove the theorem in dimension larger than one. The short range R.V.B. picture of Sutherland, Rokhsar and Kivelson, Read and Chakraborty gives a strong support to the assertion that the theorem is indeed val...
متن کاملSymmetry Protected Topological phases of Quantum Matter
We describe recent progress in our understanding of the interplay between interactions, symmetry, and topology in states of quantum matter. We focus on a minimal generalization of the celebrated topological band insulators to interacting many particle systems, known as Symmetry Protected Topological (SPT) phases. In common with the topological band insulators these states have a bulk gap and no...
