Exact Stiffness and Dynamical Responses from Fock-Space Fragmentation

arXiv:2608.27446v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Exactly solvable quantum many-body models are rare, and even when their spectra are algebraically organized, dynamical responses generally remain difficult to obtain because they probe an extensive number of excited states. Here we show that quantum geometric nesting (QGN) models admit an unusually strong form of solvability rooted in \emph{Fock-space fragmentation}: excitations on top of the exact frustration-free ground states decouple into Krylov subspaces with a fixed number of particle and hole operators, and hence remain dynamically invariant. Exploiting this structure, we prove that the stiffness of the spontaneously broken continuous symmetry in QGN models is exactly equal to its variational value in the Gaussian manifold, confirming a conjecture from quantum many-body bootstrap~\cite{GaoHanKhalaf2026}. The proof shows that an infinitesimal phase twist couples the ground state only to the one-particle, one-hole fragment, which coincides with the tangent space of the ground state within the variational manifold, thereby making the variational curvature exact. More generally, perturbations whose action remains within a fixed Fock-space fragment have response functions determined exactly by the corresponding few-body sector, enabling exact access to quantities including static susceptibility, optical conductivity, dynamical structure factors, and single-particle Green's functions.
