Exactly Solvable Models of Interacting Chiral Bosons and Fermions on a Lattice
Abstract
We consider one-dimensional theories of chiral fermions and bosons on a lattice, which arise as edge states of two-dimensional topological matter breaking time-reversal invariance. We show that hard core bosons or their spin chain equivalent exhibit properties that are similar to free fermions, solving the many-body problem exactly. For fermions, we study the effect of a static impurity exactly and show the orthogonality catastrophe in the continuum limit via bosonization. The interacting many-fermion problem in the continuum limit is solved exactly using simple momentum conservation arguments.
