• Title: Digitizing lattice gauge theories in the magnetic basis: reducing the breaking of the fundamental commutation relations
• Authors: Simone Romiti, Carsten Urbach,
• Abstract summary: We present a digitization scheme for the lattice $mathrmSU(2)$ gauge theory Hamiltonian in the $mathitmagnetic$ $mathitbasis$, where the gauge links are unitary and diagonal. The digitization is obtained from a particular partitioning of the $mathrmSU(2)$ group manifold, with the canonical momenta constructed by an approximation of the Lie derivatives on this partitioning.

• Abstract: We present a digitization scheme for the lattice $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ gauge theory Hamiltonian in the $\mathit{magnetic}$ $\mathit{basis}$, where the gauge links are unitary and diagonal. The digitization is obtained from a particular partitioning of the $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ group manifold, with the canonical momenta constructed by an approximation of the Lie derivatives on this partitioning. This construction, analogous to a discrete Fourier transform, preserves the spectrum of the kinetic part of the Hamiltonian and the canonical commutation relations exactly on a subspace of the truncated Hilbert space, while the residual subspace can be projected above the cutoff of the theory.

  In quantum mechanics, the Schrieffer--Wolff (SW) transformation is known as an approximative method to reduce the perturbation dimension of Hamiltonian. We prove that it induces a local coordinate in the space of Hermitian matrices near a $k$-fold degeneracy submanifold.

  We study the case of $3D$ $mathrmU(1)$ pure gauge theory, simulating the staggered case numerically in its dual formulation. We find evidence of a continuum limit with a spontaneously broken $bbZ$ single-site symmetry, in contrast to the ordinary theory. Moreover, the confining string fractionalizes into multiple strands which separate spatial regions in distinct ground states of the broken symmetry.

• Unbiased constrained sampling with Self-Concordant Barrier Hamiltonian Monte Carlo [18.14591309607824]
  Barrier Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (BHMC) is a version of the HMC algorithm which aims at sampling from a Gibbs distribution $pi$ on a manifold $mathrmM$. We propose a new filter step, called "involution checking step", to address this problem. Our main results establish that these two new algorithms generate reversible Markov chains with respect to $pi$ and do not suffer from any bias in comparison to previous implementations.

  We numerically compute the discrete shift $mathscrS$ for the square lattice Hofstadter model of free fermions. We show that bands with the same Chern number may have different values of $mathscrS$, although odd and even Chern number bands always have half-integer and integer values of $mathscrS$ respectively.
