The paper proves, with one explicit assumption in the intermediate regime, that prethermal Floquet phases exist for power-law interacting systems with exponent alpha > d, and predicts a disorder-free one-dimensional prethermal discrete time crystal for 1 < alpha < 2.

abstract
We explore prethermal Floquet steady states and instabilities of the weakly interacting two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model subject to periodic driving. We develop a description of the nonequilibrium dynamics, at arbitrary drive strength and frequency, using a weak-coupling conserving approximation. We establish the regimes in which conventional (zero-momentum) and unconventional [$(\pi,\pi)$-momentum] condensates are stable on intermediate time scales. We find that condensate stability is \emph{enhanced} by increasing the drive strength, because this decreases the bandwidth of quasiparticle excitations and thus impedes resonant absorption and heating. Our results are directly relevant to a number of current experiments with ultracold bosons.

Long-Range Prethermal Phases of Nonequilibrium Matter
The paper proves, with one explicit assumption in the intermediate regime, that prethermal Floquet phases exist for power-law interacting systems with exponent alpha > d, and predicts a disorder-free one-dimensional prethermal discrete time crystal for 1 < alpha < 2.
