• Title: Strong and almost strong modes of Floquet spin chains in Krylov subspaces
• Authors: Daniel J. Yates, Aditi Mitra
• Abstract summary: Integrable Floquet spin chains are known to host strong zero and $pi$ modes which are boundary operators respectively commute and anticommute. Weak interactions modify the strong modes to almost strong modes that almost commute or anticommute with the Floquet unitary. The effective single particle models in the Krylov subspace are discussed, and the properties of the Krylov chain that ensure stable $0$ and $pi$ modes are highlighted.

• Abstract: Integrable Floquet spin chains are known to host strong zero and $\pi$ modes which are boundary operators that respectively commute and anticommute with the Floquet unitary generating stroboscopic time-evolution, in addition to anticommuting with a discrete symmetry of the Floquet unitary. Thus the existence of strong modes imply a characteristic pairing structure of the full spectrum. Weak interactions modify the strong modes to almost strong modes that almost commute or anticommute with the Floquet unitary. Manifestations of strong and almost strong modes are presented in two different Krylov subspaces. One is a Krylov subspace obtained from a Lanczos iteration that maps the time-evolution generated by the Floquet Hamiltonian onto dynamics of a single particle on a fictitious chain with nearest neighbor hopping. The second is a Krylov subspace obtained from the Arnoldi iteration that maps the time-evolution generated directly by the Floquet unitary onto dynamics of a single particle on a fictitious chain with longer range hopping. While the former Krylov subspace is sensitive to the branch of the logarithm of the Floquet unitary, the latter obtained from the Arnoldi scheme is not. The effective single particle models in the Krylov subspace are discussed, and the topological properties of the Krylov chain that ensure stable $0$ and $\pi$ modes at the boundaries are highlighted. The role of interactions is discussed. Expressions for the lifetime of the almost strong modes are derived in terms of the parameters of the Krylov subspace, and are compared with exact diagonalization.

• Moment method and continued fraction expansion in Floquet Operator Krylov Space [0.0]
  Recursion methods map complex dynamics to an effective non-interacting problem in one dimension. We present an application of this showing that a moment method exists where given an autocorrelation function, one can construct the corresponding Krylov angles. We highlight certain special cases: stable $m$-periodic dynamics derived using the method of continued fractions, exponentially decaying and power-law decaying stroboscopic dynamics.

  It is shown that the stroboscopic time-evolution under a Floquet unitary, in any spatial dimension, can be mapped to an operator Krylov space. It is shown that the Floquet dynamics share certain universal features characterized by how the Krylov parameters vary in the topological phase diagram of the Floquet TFIM with homogeneous couplings.

  We characterize the long-term state of the 1D Dirac vacuum stirred by an impenetrable object. For a slow motion, the effective Floquet Hamiltonian presents features typical of the Gaussian determinant ensemble. If the obstacle moves fast enough, the effective Floquet Hamiltonian presents a Poissonian behavior.

  We investigate the phase diagram of hard-core bosons in a triangular ladder with next-to-nearest-neighbor interaction along each leg. For weak interactions, Abelian bosonization predicts a spin density wave and a fully gapless Luttinger liquid phase. The competition with the zigzag interaction generates a charge density wave, a 'polarized holonic' phase, and a crystalline phase at the filling 2/5.
