Replicating Higgs fields in Ising gauge theory: the registry order
Aleksandar Bukva, Koenraad Schalm, Jan Zaanen
We consider gauge field theory coupled to "Higgs" matter fields invoking several copies of such matter, interacting entirely through the gauge fields, the $Z_2 \times Z_2 \ti…
Operator thermalization vs eigenstate thermalization
Aleksandar Bukva, Philippe Sabella-Garnier, Koenraad Schalm
We study the characteristics of thermalizing and non-thermalizing operators in integrable theories as we turn on a non-integrable deformation. Specifically, we show that , an…
Thermalization/Relaxation in integrable and free field theories: an Operator Thermalization Hypothesis
Philippe Sabella-Garnier, Koenraad Schalm, Tereza Vakhtel +1
Free or integrable theories are usually considered to be too constrained to thermalize. For example, the retarded two-point function of a free field, even in a thermal state, does…
Non-equilibrium steady states in the Klein-Gordon theory
Benjamin Doyon, Andrew Lucas, Koenraad Schalm +1
We construct non-equilibrium steady states in the Klein-Gordon theory in arbitrary space dimension following a local quench. We consider the approach where two independently th…
