Unconstrained compact lattice QED coupled to phonons: Gauss sectors, orthogonal semimetal, and deconfined criticality

João C. Inácio, Fakher F. Assaad

Gauge theoretic descriptions of 2D quantum magnets are defined on a restricted physical Hilbert space by imposing Gauss's law. In this work, we study an unconstrained compact latti…

Dynamical magnetotropic susceptibility as a new probe of Kitaev materials and beyond

João C. Inácio, J. Schwab, G. Rakhmanova +8

The magnetotropic susceptibility, , probes ultra-low-frequency uniform () spin and charge fluctuations in a crystal mounted on an oscillating cantilever: it…

Revealing altermagnetic Fermi surfaces with two Kondo impurities

Qiong Qin, Toshihiro Sato, Marcin Raczkowski +3

Motivated by recent advances in the study of altermagnetism, or unconventional magnetism, and in the realization and manipulation of two-impurity Kondo physics in real materials, w…

Quantum Monte Carlo studies of U(1) lattice gauge models of Kondo breakdown

Gaopei Pan, Fakher F. Assaad

In the local-moment regime, heavy fermions are most economically described by a compact U(1) gauge theory. Motivated by this perspective, we study a minimal compact U(1) lattice ga…

Phase transitions on the dark side of the Gross-Neveu model: Spontaneous symmetry breaking at repulsive coupling

Gabriel Osiander Rein, Fakher F. Assaad, Igor F. Herbut

Gross-Neveu model in 2+1 dimensions exhibits a continuous transition from gapless Dirac semimetal to the gapped quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulator at a finite (attractive) coup…

The two-dimensional optical Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model: ground state and thermodynamic properties

Jadson L. Portela e Silva, Gabriel Rein, Sebastião dos A. Sousa-Júnior +2

We investigate the two-dimensional optical Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, in which the electron hopping amplitude is modulated by the difference between neighboring phonon coord…
