Abstract

We provide an explicit lattice model of bosons with two separately conserved boson species [U(1)×U(1) global symmetry] realizing a direct transition between an integer quantum Hall effect of bosons and a trivial phase, where any intermediate phase is avoided by an additional symmetry interchanging the two species. If the latter symmetry is absent, we find intermediate superfluid phases where one or the other boson species condenses. We know the precise location of the transition since at this point our model has an exact nonlocal antiunitary particle-hole-like symmetry that resembles particle-hole symmetry in the lowest Landau level of electrons. We exactly map the direct transition to our earlier study of the self-dual line of the easy-plane NCCP1 model, in the mathematically equivalent reformulation in terms of two (new) particles with π statistics and identical energetics. While the transition in our model is first order, we hope that our mappings and recent renewed interest in such self-dual models will stimulate more searches for models with a continuous transition.
