abstract

We examine the phase structure of the two-flavor Schwinger model as a function of the $\theta$-angle and the two masses, $m_1$ and $m_2$. In particular, we find interesting effects at $\theta=\pi$: along the $SU(2)$-invariant line $m_1 = m_2 = m$, in the regime where $m$ is much smaller than the charge $g$, the theory undergoes logarithmic RG flow of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless type. As a result, in this regime there is a non-perturbatively small mass gap $\sim e^{- A g^2/m^2}$. The $SU(2)$-invariant line lies within a region of the phase diagram where the charge conjugation symmetry is spontaneously broken and whose boundaries we determine numerically. Our numerical results are obtained using the Hamiltonian lattice gauge formulation that includes the mass shift $m_\text{lat} = m- g^2 a/4$ dictated by the discrete chiral symmetry.

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The p-Schwinger model on de Sitter space supports p distinct de Sitter-invariant vacua that are Hadamard, and coupling a multi-flavor version to gravity yields a semiclassical de Sitter saddle at large N_f.

    Tensor-network contraction of finite-temperature Z_N gauge theory yields central charges and scaling dimensions consistent with Svetitsky–Yaffe universality for N=2,3,5, including a U(1)-symmetric BKT phase for N=5, a...

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The d→2 Wilson-Fisher limit is proposed to be strictly larger than the 2d Ising CFT, which emerges as a unitary subsector after negative-multiplicity operators cancel exactly.

  4. Grassmann Tensor Renormalization Group for two-flavor massive Schwinger model with a theta term

    hep-lat 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Grassmann TRG calculation of the Nf=2 massive Schwinger model finds 2pi-periodic free energy that matches large-mass analytics and suggests finite-beta deviations from the continuum phase structure.

  5. Computing theta-dependent mass spectrum of the 2-flavor Schwinger model in the Hamiltonian formalism

    hep-lat 2025-01 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    Using DMRG in the Hamiltonian formalism, the paper computes theta-dependent pion and sigma masses in the 2-flavor Schwinger model that agree with bosonization and show CFT-like behavior at theta=pi.
