Title: Gauge-invariant rotor Hamiltonian from dual variables of 3D U ( 1 ) gauge theory

Abstract

We present a tensor formulation for free compact electrodynamics in three Euclidean dimensions and use this formulation to construct a quantum Hamiltonian in the continuous-time limit. Gauge-invariance is maintained at every step and ultimately the gauge fields are integrated out, removing all initial gauge freedom. The resulting Hamiltonian can be written as a rotor model. The energy eigenvalues for this Hamiltonian are computed using the tensor renormalization group, and are compared with perturbation theory. We find good agreement between the calculations, demonstrating a smooth passage from the statistical lattice Lagrangian description to the quantum Hamiltonian description.
