对称性保护拓扑态之间相变的临界理论及其与无隙边界理论的关系

Critical theories of phase transition between symmetry protected topological states and their relation to the gapless boundary theories

Xie Chen, Fa Wang, Yuan-Ming Lu, Dung-Hai Lee

摘要:

对称性保护拓扑态具有相同的对称性,它们之间的相变超出了朗道对称性破缺理论。本文研究了(1)平凡与非平凡SPT之间相变的临界理论,(2)这种临界理论与SPT的无隙边界理论之间的关系。基于SO(3)和SU(2)的SPTs的例子,我们提出在适当的边界条件下,临界理论包含边界激发的离域版本。此外,我们证明了边界理论是空间上限制在两个SPT之间的临界理论。我们期望这些结论在一般情况下成立,特别是对于离散对称群也成立。

英文摘要:

Symmetry protected topological states (SPTs) have the same symmetry and the phase transition between them are beyond Landau's symmetry breaking formalism. In this paper we study (1) the critical theory of phase transition between trivial and non-trivial SPTs, and (2) the relation between such critical theory and the gapless boundary theory of SPTs. Based on examples of SO(3) and SU(2) SPTs, we propose that under appropriate boundary condition the critical theory contains the delocalized version of the boundary excitations. In addition, we prove that the boundary theory is the critical theory spatially confined between two SPTs. We expect these conclusions to hold in general and, in particular, for discrete symmetry groups as well.
