    Abstract

    We present a unified quantum field theory for Dirac magnons coupled to emergent gauge fields. At zero temperature, any space- and time-dependent gauge perturbation drives magnons out of equilibrium, generating spin currents and magnon accumulation without conventional thermal or chemical-potential gradients. For a honeycomb ferromagnet, we derive closed-form expressions for the induced density and current. In the dc limit, the transverse spin conductivity approaches σxy=α2sgn(m)ℏ/4π, revealing a response governed by a universal topological coefficient of the gapped Dirac spectrum and a coupling-dependent magnitude. In the ac regime, the conductivity exhibits a sharp resonance when the drive frequency matches the topological gap Δ, signaling interband transitions. Our work establishes a unified gauge-invariant framework for controlling magnon transport and highlights topological signatures in gauge-driven magnon responses.
