contents Periodically driven quantum many-body systems host unconventional behavior not realized at equilibrium. Here we investigate such a setup for strongly interacting spinless fermions on a chain, which at zero temperature and strong interactions form a charge density wave insulator. Using unbiased numerical matrix product state methods for time-dependent spectral functions, we find that driving of the correlated charge-density wave insulator leads not only to a renormalization of the excitation spectrum as predicted by an effective Floquet Hamiltonian, but also to a cosine-like in-gap feature. This is not obtained for a charge density wave model without interactions. A mean-field treatment provides a partial explanation in terms of doublon excitations. However, the full picture needs to take into account strong correlation effects.
