Commuting local Hamiltonians (CLHs) provide a way to study the role of non-commutativity in the complexity of quantum systems and touch on many fundamental aspects of quantum computing and many-body systems, such as the quantum PCP conjecture and the area law. Much of the recent research has focused on the physically motivated 2D case, where particles are located on vertices of a 2D grid and each term acts non-trivially only on the particles on a single square (or plaquette) in the lattice. In particular, Schuch showed that the CLH problem on 2D with qubits is in NP. Resolving the complexity of the 2D CLH problem with higher dimensional particles has been elusive. We prove two results for the CLH problem in 2D: We give a non-constructive proof that the CLH problem in 2D with qutrits is in <span>(textbf{NP})</span>. As far as we know, this is the first result for the commuting local Hamiltonian problem on 2D beyond qubits. Our key lemma works for general qudits and might give new insights for tackling the general case. We consider the factorized case, also studied by Bravyi and Vyalyi, where each term is a tensor product of single-particle Hermitian operators. We show that a factorized CLH in 2D, even on particles of arbitrary finite dimension, is equivalent to a direct sum of qubit stabilizer Hamiltonians. This implies that the factorized 2D CLH problem is in <span>(textbf{NP})</span>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":522,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Mathematical Physics","volume":"406 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145204653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we establish a connection between this joint system for <i>G</i>(<i>k</i>, <i>n</i>) and the corresponding system for the projective space <span>({{mathbb {P}}}^{n-1})</span>. Specifically, we show that, under suitable <i>Satake identifications</i> of the equivariant cohomologies of <i>G</i>(<i>k</i>, <i>n</i>) and <span>({{mathbb {P}}}^{n-1})</span>, the joint system for <i>G</i>(<i>k</i>, <i>n</i>) is gauge equivalent to a differential-difference system on the <i>k</i>-th exterior power of the cohomology of <span>({{mathbb {P}}}^{n-1})</span>. Secondly, we demonstrate that the Б-theorem for Grassmannians, as stated in Cotti and Varchenko (Equivariant quantum differential equation and qKZ equations for a projective space: Stokes bases as exceptional collections, Stokes matrices as Gram matrices, and B-Theorem, Integrability, quantization, and geometry: dedicated to the memory of Boris Dubrovin, 1950, 2019, 2021), Tarasov and Varchenko (J Geom Phys 184:104711, 2023), is compatible with the Satake identification. This implies that the Б-theorem for <span>({{mathbb {P}}}^{n-1})</span> extends to <i>G</i>(<i>k</i>, <i>n</i>) through the Satake identification. As a consequence, we derive determinantal formulas and new integral representations for multi-dimensional hypergeometric solutions of the joint qDE and qKZ system for <i>G</i>(<i>k</i>, <i>n</i>). Finally, we analyze the Stokes phenomenon for the joint system of qDE and qKZ equations associated with <i>G</i>(<i>k</i>, <i>n</i>). We prove that the Stokes bases of solutions correspond to explicit <i>K</i>-theoretical classes of full exceptional collections in the derived category of equivariant coherent sheaves on <i>G</i>(<i>k</i>, <i>n</i>).

We recast these concepts in the language of mixed Hodge theory, and identify “genus zero pairs” of complex algebraic varieties as a natural and general framework for the study of positive geometries and their canonical forms.
