Spontaneous Chirality and Collective Chern Bands in a Dipole-Conserving Bose System
Abstract
We demonstrate spontaneous chiral dipole order and an isolated collective Chern band in a time-reversal-symmetric microscopic bosonic lattice model with exact dipole-moment conservation. In a controlled large-occupation limit at zero temperature, frustrated dipole exchange and three-particle conversion stabilize two time-reversed chiral condensates. The two dipole Goldstone modes remain gapless, while a separate finite-frequency band carries Chern numbers −1 and +1 in the opposite domains. We trace this topology to complex mode couplings in the chiral background that gap finite-frequency Dirac crossings. Site-resolved density drives preserve dipole-moment conservation and reconstruct the band Chern number from band-resolved absorption spectra in the quadratic theory.
