• Abstract: Dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) are an exciting paradigm of out-of-equilibrium criticality in many-body systems manifested in nonanalytic behavior in the return rate to the initial state following a sudden quench. While previous work has tried to distinguish between distinct types of DQPTs, such as regular and anomalous, or manifold and branch, a comprehensive understanding of why each type appears in a given scenario is still lacking. In this work, we propose a unified framework addressing this gap in terms of the energy structure of different product state configurations. In particular, while manifold DQPTs are governed by resonances within the initial state manifold, branch DQPTs are governed by resonances with a transitional manifold of states dynamically connected to the initial manifold by low-order processes. We show that the (ir)regularity of branch DQPTs is related to the multiplicity of this transitional manifold, and we also observe exotic periods of extended degeneracy in the return rate (beyond the conventional level crossing of a DQPT) which are also conditioned on the structure of this transitional manifold. We demonstrate this by studying quenches of two different configurations in the 1 + 1D Z_2 LGT to various parameter regimes. Our findings provide a dynamical mechanism underlying branch DQPTs and frames DQPTs as probes of resonant connectivity in constrained Hilbert spaces, paving the way to a more complete understanding of the multifaceted nature of dynamical criticality.
