Interactions and the θ [theta] term in one-dimensional gapped systems

We study how the θ [theta] term is affected by interactions in certain one-dimensional gapped systems that preserve charge conjugation, parity, and time-reversal invariance. We exploit the relation between the chiral anomaly of a fermionic system and the classical shift symmetry of its bosonized dua...
