1D Many-body localized Floquet systems II: Symmetry-Broken phases

arXiv:1602.06949 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.93.245146

Abstract

Recent work suggests that a sharp definition of `phase of matter' can be given for periodically driven `Floquet' quantum systems exhibiting many-body localization. In this work we propose a classification of the phases of interacting Floquet localized systems with (completely) spontaneously broken symmetries -- we focus on the one dimensional case, but our results appear to generalize to higher dimensions. We find that the different Floquet phases correspond to elements of , the centre of the symmetry group in question. In a previous paper we offered a companion classification of unbroken, i.e., paramagnetic phases.
