Symmetry-protected Bose-Einstein condensation of interacting hardcore Bosons

Abstract

We introduce a mechanism stabilizing a one-dimensional quantum many-body phase, characterized by a certain wave vector $k_0$, from a $k_0$-modulated coupling to a center site, via the protection of an emergent ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$ symmetry. We illustrate this mechanism by constructing the solution of the full quantum many-body problem of hardcore bosons on a wheel geometry, which are known to form a Bose-Einstein condensate. The robustness of the condensate is shown numerically by adding nearest-neighbor interactions to the wheel Hamiltonian. We identify the energy scale that controls the protection of the emergent ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$ symmetry. We discuss further applications such as geometrically inducing finite-momentum condensates. Since our solution strategy is based on a generic mapping from a wheel geometry to a projected ladder, our analysis can be applied to various related problems with extensively scaling coordination numbers.
