Bosonization is one of the most significant frameworks to analyze fermionic systems. In this work, we propose a new bosonization of Dirac fermion coupled with U(1) background gauge field consistent with gauge invariance, global chiral anomaly matching and fermion-boson operator correspondence, either of which is not satisfied by previously developed bosonizations. The bilinear Dirac-mass term condensation paradox and its generalized form are resolved by our bosonization. This new bosonization approach to interacting systems also correctly captures the conformal characters of a significant class of critical lattice models, such as conformal dimensions and conformal anomaly of XXZ spin chain with twisted boundary condition. Our work clarifies the equivalence of fermionic flux insertion and bosonic background charge insertion for two-dimensional conformal field theory

Imaginary time crystal of quantum gases

Zi Cai, Yizhen huang, W. Vincent Liu

Subjects: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

Floquet or discrete time crystal was predicted as a form of super-crystallization from the “periodic” time lattice of varying Hamiltonians. Subsequent experiments of trapped ions and nitrogen-vacancy centers discovered it. However, whether such a phase can emerge from time continuum, as originally introduced, remains an open question because of the no-go theorem on quantum mechanical ground state. Here we report that by relaxing the scope to open quantum systems, time crystalline ordering can emerge spontaneously by breaking continuous translational symmetry in imaginary time dual space due to retarded interaction induced by thermal bath. Quantum Monte Carlo simulation is performed to calculate a time order parameter and previously unknown “time” excitation response functions from the Euclidean action.
