Abstract

We study invertible states of 1d bosonic quantum lattice systems. We show that every invertible 1d state is in a trivial phase: after tensoring with some unentangled ancillas it can be disentangled by a fuzzy analog of a finite-depth quantum circuit. If an invertible state has symmetries, it may be impossible to disentangle it in a way that preserves the symmetries, even after adding unentagled ancillas. We show that in the case of a finite unitary symmetry G the only obstruction is an index valued in degree-2 cohomology of . We show that two invertible -invariant states are in the same phase if and only if their indices coincide.

Errors in the proofs of Lemma 4.5 and Theorem 1 have been corrected. The new version also includes an appendix on a multiplicative version of the Lieb-Robinson bound
