Sixteenfold Classification of Many-Body Multipoles from Rotation-Compatible Canonical Symmetries

The conventional multipole framework provides a standard symmetry-based language for one-body electronic degrees of freedom, but fails to distinguish physically distinct sectors in many-body operator space. We show that canonical symmetries compatible with rotations provide this structure through two additional 2 labels associated with the particle-number gauge transformation G{\pi}/2 and the particle-hole transformation CA. These labels separate operators with different body numbers and particle-number changes, leading to a sixteenfold classification that organizes selection rules for nonzero expectation values, induced multipoles, and symmetry-allowed couplings in many-body multipole space.

Theory of Many-Body Multipole Operators in Single-Centered Electron Systems: Two-Body Toroidal Monopoles in Spinless Orbitals

One-body multipole operators are defined as irreducible representations of rotational symmetry together with spatial-inversion and time-reversal symmetries, providing a systematic framework for classifying electronic internal degrees of freedom and for describing a wide variety of composite order parameters. While this formalism has been successfully established for the one-body operator space, a systematic classification of the many-body operator space, especially in interacting systems, remains an open challenge. In this paper, we extend the multipole formalism in the one-body operator space to the many-body operator space. By formulating fermionic creation and annihilation operators as spherical tensors and employing Clebsch-Gordan coupling combined with the exterior (Grassmann) algebra, we construct an irreducible decomposition of many-body operators that fully incorporates fermionic antisymmetrization. As a concrete application, we classify monopoles appearing in spinless many-body operators. In particular, we show that the electric toroidal monopole, a pseudoscalar breaking spatial-inversion symmetry, and the magnetic toroidal monopole, a time reversal-odd scalar, become active in spinless interacting many-body systems, although they are absent in the spinless one-body hybrid orbital space.
