dc.descriptionWe have discussed a consistency condition of Berry phases defined by a local gauge twist and spatial symmetries of the many body system. It imposes a non trivial gap closing condition under the gauge twist in both finite- and infinite-size systems. It also implies a necessary condition for the gapped and unique ground state. As for the simplest case, it predicts an inevitable gap closing in the Heisenberg chain of half integer spins. Its relation to the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem is discussed based on the symmetries of the twisted Hamiltonian. The discussion is also extended to the (approximately) degenerated multiplet and fermion cases. It restricts the number of the states in the low energy cluster of the spectrum by the filling of the fermions. Constraints by the reflection symmetry are also discussed.
