Abstract We develop a $(1+1)$D lattice $U(1)$ gauge theory in order to define the two-flavor massless Schwinger model, and discuss its connection with the Haldane conjecture. We propose to use the central-branch Wilson fermion, which is defined by relating the mass, $m$, and the Wilson parameter, $r$, by $m+2r=0$. This setup gives two massless Dirac fermions in the continuum limit, and it turns out that no fine-tuning of $m$ is required because the extra $U(1)$ symmetry at the central branch, $U(1)_{\overline{V}}$, prohibits additive mass renormalization. Moreover, we show that the Dirac determinant is positive semi-definite and this formulation is free from the sign problem, so a Monte Carlo simulation of the path integral is possible. By identifying the symmetry at low energy, we show that this lattice model has a mixed ’t Hooft anomaly between $U(1)_{\overline{V}}$, lattice translation, and lattice rotation. We discuss its relation to the anomaly of half-integer anti-ferromagnetic spin chains, so our lattice gauge theory is suitable for numerical simulation of the Haldane conjecture. Furthermore, it gives a new and strict understanding on the parity-broken phase (Aoki phase) of the $2$D Wilson fermion.
