Exact bosonization in two spatial dimensions and a new class of lattice gauge theories
We describe a 2d analog of the Jordan-Wigner transformation which maps an
arbitrary fermionic system on a 2d lattice to a lattice gauge theory while
preserving the locality of the Hamiltonian. When the space is simply-connected,
this bosonization map is an equivalence. We describe several examples of 2d
bosonization, including free fermions on square and honeycomb lattices and the
Hubbard model. We describe Euclidean actions for the corresponding lattice
gauge theories and find that they contains Chern-Simons-like terms. Finally, we
write down a fermionic dual of the gauged Ising model (the Fradkin-Shenker
model).Comment: 30 pages, 8 figure
The Intention to Download Music Files in a P2P Environment: Rational Choice, Fashion, and Ethical Decision Perspectives
Downloading unauthorized music file is deemed illegal and immoral, but the peer-to-peer systems have boosted its popularity. Many authors attributed this phenomenon to the low morality of Internet users, but inconclusive evidence to this argument was found. Extant literature seldom noticed that downloading music files is a new mean of music consumption. People, especially young generation, might rationally choose between downloading music files and buying CDs for greater utility for enjoying and pursuing after the fashion of music. This paper presents a conceptual model of file downloading by looking at and integrating these perspectives. An analysis of 834 samples drew from a questionnaire survey of P2P users in Taiwan generally supports the above assertion
Free and Interacting Short-Range Entangled Phases of Fermions: Beyond the Ten-Fold Way
We extend the periodic table of phases of free fermions in the ten-fold way
symmetry classes to a classification of free fermionic phases protected by an
arbitrary on-site unitary symmetry in an arbitrary dimension. The
classification is described as a function of the real representation theory of
and the data of the original periodic table. We also systematically
study in low dimensions the relationship between the free invariants and the
invariants of short-range entangled interacting phases of fermions. Namely we
determine whether a given symmetry protected phase of free fermions is
destabilized by sufficiently strong interactions or it remains stable even in
the presence of interactions. We also determine which interacting fermionic
phases cannot be realized by free fermions. Examples of both destabilized free
phases and intrinsically interacting phases are common in all dimensions.Comment: 18 page
Towards Faithful Neural Table-to-Text Generation with Content-Matching Constraints
Text generation from a knowledge base aims to translate knowledge triples to
natural language descriptions. Most existing methods ignore the faithfulness
between a generated text description and the original table, leading to
generated information that goes beyond the content of the table. In this paper,
for the first time, we propose a novel Transformer-based generation framework
to achieve the goal. The core techniques in our method to enforce faithfulness
include a new table-text optimal-transport matching loss and a table-text
embedding similarity loss based on the Transformer model. Furthermore, to
evaluate faithfulness, we propose a new automatic metric specialized to the
table-to-text generation problem. We also provide detailed analysis on each
component of our model in our experiments. Automatic and human evaluations show
that our framework can significantly outperform state-of-the-art by a large
margin.Comment: Accepted at ACL202
