Bulk-boundary correspondence for interacting Floquet systems in two dimensions
Abstract
We present a method for deriving bulk and edge invariants for interacting, many-body localized Floquet systems in two spatial dimensions. This method is based on a general mathematical object which we call a flow. As an application of our method, we derive bulk invariants for Floquet systems without symmetry, as well as for systems with symmetry. We also derive new formulations of previously known single-particle and many-body invariants. For bosonic systems without symmetry, our invariant gives a bulk counterpart of the rational-valued GNVW index quantifying transport of quantum information along the edge.
