一类具有Z2拓扑序的精确可解模型的空间群对称分解

Space group symmetry fractionalization in a family of exactly solvable models with Z2 topological order

Hao Song, Michael Hermele

摘要:

本文研究了二维空间中一类具有$\mathbb{Z}_2$拓扑序的精确可解模型的正方格空间群对称分形。特别是,我们已经完全了解了在这类模型中可以实现哪些不同类型的对称细分(对称类),这些模型是Kitaev的$\mathbb{Z}_2$复曲面代码对任意晶格的概括。这个问题是由A. M.埃辛和我们中的一个(M。H.),其中提出了对称性分类的思想,并且对于正方形晶格对称性,产生了与$\mathbb{Z}_2$拓扑顺序的融合规则一致的2080个对称性类。这种方法并没有为每个对称类产生一个物理模型,而且确实有理由相信某些对称类在严格的二维系统中可能无法实现,因此提出了哪些类实际上是可能的问题。虽然我们的理解是有限的一类模型,它是完整的,在这个意义上,对于每一个2080可能的对称类,我们要么严格证明,类不能实现在我们的家庭模型,或者我们给出一个明确的模型实现类。因此,我们发现,正是487对称类实现家庭的模型考虑。随着更严格的对称作用类型,空间群操作在每个自旋自由度的内部希尔伯特空间中起着平凡的作用,我们发现正好实现了82个对称类。此外,我们提出了一个单一的模型,实现了所有的$2^6 = 64$类型的对称性分馏允许一个单一的任意子物种($\mathbb{Z}_2$电荷激发),在哈密顿量的参数是不同的。本文最后总结和讨论两个结果有关更一般的玻色子模型。

英文摘要:

We study square lattice space group symmetry fractionalization in a family of exactly solvable models with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological order in two dimensions. In particular, we have obtained a complete understanding of which distinct types of symmetry fractionalization (symmetry classes) can be realized within this class of models, which are generalizations of Kitaev's $\mathbb{Z}_2$ toric code to arbitrary lattices. This question is motivated by earlier work of A. M. Essin and one of us (M. H.), where the idea of symmetry classification was laid out, and which, for square lattice symmetry, produces 2080 symmetry classes consistent with the fusion rules of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological order. This approach does not produce a physical model for each symmetry class, and indeed there are reasons to believe that some symmetry classes may not be realizable in strictly two-dimensional systems, thus raising the question of which classes are in fact possible. While our understanding is limited to a restricted class of models, it is complete in the sense that for each of the 2080 possible symmetry classes, we either prove rigorously that the class cannot be realized in our family of models, or we give an explicit model realizing the class. We thus find that exactly 487 symmetry classes are realized in the family of models considered. With a more restrictive type of symmetry action, where space group operations act trivially in the internal Hilbert space of each spin degree of freedom, we find that exactly 82 symmetry classes are realized. In addition, we present a single model that realizes all $2^6 = 64$ types of symmetry fractionalization allowed for a single anyon species ($\mathbb{Z}_2$ charge excitation), as the parameters in the Hamiltonian are varied. The paper concludes with a summary and a discussion of two results pertaining to more general bosonic models.
