Spin-charge deconfinement from a self-consistent dressing of Fierz-complete $(1+1)$d Dirac fermions
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We develop a self-consistent dressing for $(1+1)$d Dirac fermions with Fierz-complete four-fermion interactions, extending the spin-charge formalism of~\cite{Haddad2024}. By studying the associated composite connection, we characterize obstructions to trivializing the Dirac operator and prove a trivialization theorem under which spin-charge separation, half-infinite Wilson-line dressing, and flat-connection holonomy arise as regime limits of the single dressing. In particular, the chiral-difermion transition is a deconfinement transition for the spin and charge degrees of freedom, mediated by an emergent $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$ gauge field and measured by a Wilson-loop area law in the chiral phase. We show that our formulation provides a realization of the conjectured Faddeev--Niemi link between spin-charge separation and confinement.
