Problems With the Vortex-Boson Mapping in 1+1 Dimensions

Condensed Matter 2016-08-31 v1

Abstract

Using the well known boson mapping, we relate the transverse magnetic susceptibility of a system of flux vortices in 1+1 dimensions to an appropriately defined conductivity of a one-dimensional boson system. The tilt response for a system free of disorder is calculated directly, and it is found that a subtle order of limits is required to avoid deceptive results.
