We construct a non-trivialprincipal bundle onT4from the compactU(1) lattice gauge field by generalizing Lüscher’s constriction so that the cocycle condition containselements (the ’t Hooft flux). The construction requires an admissibility condition on lattice gauge field configurations. From the transition function so constructed, we have the fractional topological charge that isone-form gauge invariant and odd under the lattice time reversal transformation. Assuming a rescaling of the vacuum angle θ →qθ suggested from the Witten effect, our construction provides a lattice implementation of the mixed ’t Hooft anomaly between theone-form symmetry and the time reversal symmetry in theU(1) gauge theory with matter fields of chargewhen θ = π, which was studied by Honda and Tanizaki [J. High Energy Phys.12, 154 (2020)] in the continuum framework.
