Topological phases of bosons with local parity coupling on a dimerized lattice

Abstract

Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in interacting bosonic systems have been widely explored, with many realizations emerging from the interplay of interactions, lattice geometry, and occupancy constraints. Here we investigate a dimerized bosonic lattice model with a local parity coupling and demonstrate that it supports a rich phase diagram containing topological phases at various fillings. Using density matrix renormalization group simulations, we identify two distinct topological regimes absent in the purely dimerized limit: an SPT phase at half filling stabilized by positive parity coupling and a paired-boson topological phase at unit filling, stabilized by negative parity coupling. While the latter is adiabatically connected to a trivial phase and is not symmetry protected in the conventional sense, it exhibits nontrivial topological signatures associated with paired bosons in the constrained Hilbert space. Our results establish local parity coupling as a useful framework for understanding and characterizing topological phases in one-dimensional bosonic systems.
