Classification of interacting Floquet phases with $U(1)$ symmetry in two dimensions
Abstract
We derive a complete classification of Floquet phases of interacting bosons and fermions with symmetry in two spatial dimensions. According to our classification, there is a one-to-one correspondence between these Floquet phases and rational functions where and are polynomials obeying certain conditions and is a formal parameter. The physical meaning of involves the stroboscopic edge dynamics of the corresponding Floquet system: in the case of bosonic systems, where is a rational number which characterizes the flow of quantum information at the edge during each driving period, and is a rational function which characterizes the flow of charge at the edge. A similar decomposition exists in the fermionic case. We also show that is directly related to the time-averaged current that flows in a particular geometry. This current is a generalization of the quantized current and quantized magnetization density found in previous studies of non-interacting fermionic Floquet phases.
