abstract

Disorder-free localization (DFL) has been established as a mechanism of strong ergodicity breaking in $1+1$D lattice gauge theories (LGTs) with dynamical matter for quenches starting in homogeneous initial states that span an extensive number of gauge superselection sectors. Nevertheless, the fate of DFL in $2+1$D in the presence of dynamical matter has hitherto remained an open question of great interest in light of the instability of quenched-disorder many-body localization in higher spatial dimensions. Using infinite matrix product state calculations, we show that DFL survives in $2+1$D LGTs, albeit it is generally less pronounced than in $1+1$D, and highly depends on the matter configuration of the initial state. Through suitable matter configurations, we are able to relate and compare the $1+1$D and $2+1$D cases, showing that the main ingredient for the strength of DFL in our setup is the \textit{propagation directionality} of matter. Our results suggest that, generically, DFL is weakened with increasing spatial dimension, although it can be made independent of the latter by minimizing the propagation directionality of matter in the initial state.

    In a 2+1D Z2 lattice gauge theory, string breaking happens only at specific resonances set by field strength and matter mass, while long strings can dynamically form closed electric loops analogous to glueballs.
