Theorem on extensive spectral degeneracy for systems with rigid higher symmetries in general dimensions
arxiv(2023)
摘要
We establish, in the spirit of the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem, lower bounds on the spectral degeneracy of quantum systems with higher (gaugelike) symmetries with rather generic physical boundary conditions in an arbitrary number of spatial dimensions. Contrary to applying twists or equivalent adiabatic operations, we exploit the effects of modified boundary conditions. When a general choice of boundary geometry is immaterial in determining spectral degeneracies while approaching the thermodynamic limit, systems that exhibit rigid noncommuting gaugelike symmetries, such as the orbital compass model, must have an exponential (in the size of the boundary) degeneracy of each of their spectral levels.
