Title: Gauge-invariant implementation of the Abelian-Higgs model on optical lattices

Abstract

We present a gauge-invariant effective action for the Abelian Higgs model (scalar electrodynamics) with a chemical potential $$\mu$$ on a 1+1 dimensional lattice. This formulation provides an expansion in the hopping parameter $$\kappa$$ which we test with Monte Carlo simulations for a broad range of the inverse gauge coupling $$\beta_{pl}=1/g^2$$ and small values of the scalar self-coupling $$\lambda$$. In the opposite limit of infinitely large $$\lambda$$, the partition function can be written as a traced product of local tensors which allows us to write exact blocking formulas. Gauss's law is automatically satisfied and the introduction of $$\mu$$ has consequences only if we have an external electric field, $g^2=0$ or an explicit gauge symmetry breaking. The time continuum limit of the blocked transfer matrix can be obtained numerically and, for $g^2=0$ and a spin-1 truncation, the small volume energy spectrum is identical to the low energy spectrum of a two-species Bose-Hubbard model in the limit of large on-site repulsion. We extend this procedure for finite $$\beta_{pl}$$ and derive a spin-1 approximation of the Hamiltonian. It involves new terms corresponding to transitions among the two species in the Bose-Hubbard model. Finally, we propose an optical lattice implementations involving a ladder structure.
