Superfluid-insulator transition of bosons at generic filling fraction f
The transition is characterized by multiple distinct order parameters (boson condensate, density-wave order……..)
Traditional (Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson) view:Such a transition is first order, and there are no precursor fluctuations of the order of the insulator in the superfluid.

The transition is characterized by multiple distinct order parameters (boson condensate, density-wave order..........)
Traditional (Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson) view:Such a transition is first order, and there are no precursor fluctuations of the order of the insulator in the superfluid.
Recent theories:Quantum interference effects can render such transitions second order, and the superfluid does contain precursor CDW fluctuations.

Bosons at filling fraction f = 1
• At f=1, the “magnetic” flux per unit cell is 2π, and the vortex does not pick up any phase from the boson density.
• The effective dual “magnetic” field acting on the vortex is zero, and the corresponding component of the Magnus force vanishes.

Superfluids near Mott insulators
• Dual description using vortices with flux h/(2e) which come in multiple (usually q) “flavors”
• The lattice space group acts in a projective representation on the vortex flavor space.
• These flavor quantum numbers provide a distinction between superfluids: they constitute a “quantum order”
• Any pinned vortex must chose an orientation in flavor space. This necessarily leads to modulations in the local density of states over the spatial region where the vortex executes its quantum zero point motion.

not be identical) to this value
