Variational Wavefunctions for Non-compact U(1) Lattice Gauge Theory: Comparison with Exact Result

D O'Shaughnessy, Conrad J. Burden

Estimates of the ground state wavefunction of (2+ 1 )-dimensional non-compact U (1) Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory are found in terms of variational wavefunctions with up to four parameters. These wavefunctions are compared with the exact ground state as a test of the accuracy of the method.

Variational study of U(1) and SU(2) lattice gauge theories with Gaussian states in 1 + 1 dimensions

Pablo Sala, Tao Shi, Stefan Kühn +3 more

We introduce a method to investigate the static and dynamic properties of both Abelian and non-Abelian lattice gauge models in $1+1$ dimensions. Specifically, we identify a set of transformations that disentangle different degrees of freedom, and apply a simple Gaussian variational ansatz to the resulting Hamiltonian. To demonstrate the suitability of the method, we analyze both static and dynamic aspects of string breaking for the U(1) and SU(2) gauge models. We benchmark our results against tensor network simulations and observe excellent agreement, although the number of variational parameters in the Gaussian ansatz is much smaller.

Lattice quantum Villain Hamiltonians: compact scalars, U(1) gauge theories, fracton models and quantum Ising model dualities

Lucca Fazza, Tin Sulejmanpašić

A bstract We construct Villain Hamiltonians for compact scalars and abelian gauge theories. The Villain integers are promoted to integral spectrum operators, whose canonical conjugates are naturally compact scalars. Further, depending on the theory, these conjugate operators can be interpreted as (higher-form) gauge fields. If a gauge symmetry is imposed on these dual gauge fields, a natural constraint on the Villain operator leads to the absence of defects (e.g. vortices, monopoles,…). These lattice models therefore have the same symmetry and anomaly structure as their corresponding continuum models. Moreover they can be formulated in a way that makes the well-know dualities look manifest, e.g. a compact scalar in 2d has a T-duality, in 3d is dual to a U(1) gauge theory, etc. We further discuss the gauged version of compact scalars on the lattice, its anomalies and solution, as well as a particular limit of the gauged XY model at strong coupling which reduces to the transverse-field Ising model. The construction for higher-form gauge theories is similar. We apply these ideas to the constructions of some models which are of interest to fracton physics, in particular the XY-plaquette model and the tensor gauge field model. The XY-plaquette model in 2+1d coupled to a tensor gauge fields at strong gauge coupling is also exactly described by a transverse field quantum J 1 − J 2 Ising model with J 1 = 2 J 2 , and discuss the phase structure of such models.

We introduce a method to investigate the static and dynamic properties of both Abelian and non-Abelian lattice gauge models in 1+11+11+1 dimensions.
