Noncommutative field theory of the Tkachenko mode : Symmetries and decay rate

• We construct an effective field theory describing the collective Tkachenko oscillation mode of a vortex lattice in a two-dimensional rotating Bose-Einstein condensate in the long-wavelength regime. The theory has the form of a noncommutative field theory of a Nambu-Goldstone boson, which exhibits a noncommutative version of dipole symmetry. From the effective field theory, we show that, at zero temperature, the decay width Γ of the Tkachenko mode scales with its energy E as Γ∼E3 in the low-energy limit. We also discuss the width of the Tkachenko mode at a small temperature.
