We propose an index $\mathcal{I}_G$ which characterizes the degree of ingappability, namely the difficulty to induce a unique ground state with a nonvanishing excitation gap, in the presence of a symmetry $G$. $\mathcal{I}_G$ represents the…
The 2+1d continuum Lifshitz theory of a free compact scalar field plays a prominent role in a variety of quantum systems in condensed matter physics and high energy physics. It is known that in compact space, it has an infinite ground state…
We prove the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem in $d$-dimensional spin systems exhibiting $SO(3)$ spin rotation and lattice translation symmetries in the presence of $k-$local interactions decaying as $\sim 1/r^\alpha$ with distance $r$. Two…
We establish multiple interrelated, fundamental results in quantum many-body systems that can have long-range interactions. For a sufficiently long quantum spin chain, we first show that if the multi-spin interactions in the Hamiltonian…
A generalization of the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem to higher dimensional spin systems is shown. The physical motivation for the result is that such spin systems typically either have long-range order, in which case there are gapless modes,…
We analyze ground-state properties of strictly one-dimensional molecular matter comprised of identical particles of mass m. Such a class of systems can be described by an additive two-body potential whose functional form is common to all…
The theory of Monotone Comparative Statics (MCS) has traditionally required a lattice structure, excluding certain multidimensional environments such as mixed-strategy games where this property fails. We show that this structure is not…
We introduce a new boundary condition which renders the flux-insertion argument for the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis type theorems in two or higher dimensions free from the specific choice of system sizes. It also enables a formulation of the…
We study quantum phases and phase transitions in a one-dimensional interacting fermion system with a Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) type anomaly. Specifically, the inversion symmetry enforces any symmetry-preserving gapped ground state of the…
We discuss the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) theorem in two-dimensional spin systems with on-site ${\mathrm U}(1)\rtimes {\mathbb Z}_2$ spin rotation symmetry and point group $C_{2v}$ symmetry about a site. We ``twist" the point group symmetry…
It is believed that most (perhaps all) gapped phases of matter can be described at long distances by Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT). On the other hand, it has been rigorously established that in 1+1d ground states of gapped…
The nature of the insulating phases of the SU($N$)-generalization of the one-dimensional Kondo lattice model is investigated by means of non-perturbative approaches. By extending the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) argument to multi-component…
In a quantum many-body system where the Hamiltonian and the order operator do not commute, it often happens that the unique ground state of a finite system exhibits long-range order (LRO) but does not show spontaneous symmetry breaking…
We investigate a model for the regularly depleted two-leg spin ladder systems. By using Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem, it is rigorously shown that this model realizes massless excitations or, alternatively, a degenerate ground state, although…
We review a novel approach to evaluate the ground-state properties of many-body lattice systems based on an exact probabilistic representation of the dynamics and its long time approximation via a central limit theorem. The choice of the…
Higher symmetries can emerge at low energies in a topologically ordered state with no symmetry, when some topological excitations have very high energy scales while other topological excitations have low energies. The low energy properties…
We present a two-parameter family of exactly solvable quantum many-body systems in one spatial dimension containing the Lieb-Liniger model of interacting bosons as a particular case. The principal building block of this construction is the…
The term Tensor Network States (TNS) refers to a number of families of states that represent different ans\"atze for the efficient description of the state of a quantum many-body system. Matrix Product States (MPS) are one particular case…
A lattice Maxwell system is developed with gauge-symmetry, symplectic structure and discrete space-time symmetry. Noether's theorem for Lie group symmetries is generalized to discrete symmetries for the lattice Maxwell system. As a result,…
We discuss the exact non-invertible Kramers-Wannier symmetry of 1+1d lattice models on a tensor product Hilbert space of qubits. This symmetry is associated with a topological defect and a conserved operator, and the latter can be presented…
