Abstract

We obtain through a Matrix Product Ansatz the exact solution of the most general inhomogeneous spin chain with nearest neighbor interaction and with U(1)² and U(1)³ symmetries. These models are related to the one loop mixing matrix of the Leigh-Strassler deformed N = 4 SYM theory, dual to type IIB string theory in the generalized Lunin-Maldacena backgrounds, in the sectors of two and three kinds of fields, respectively. The solutions presented here generalizes the results obtained by the author in a previous work for homogeneous spins chains with U(1)N symmetries in the sectors of N = 2 and N = 3.

The Matrix Product Ansatz for integrable U(1)N models in Lunin-Maldacena backgrounds

Matheus J. Lazo

We obtain through a Matrix Product Ansatz (MPA) the exact solution of the most general N-state spin chain with U(1)N symmetry and nearest neighbour interaction. In the case N = 6 this model contain as a special case the integrable SO(6) spin chain related to the one loop mixing matrix for anomalous dimensions in N =4 SYM, dual to type IIB string theory in the generalised Lunin-Maldacena backgrounds. This MPA is construct by a map between scalar fields and abstract operators that satisfy an appropriate associative algebra. We analyses the Yang-Baxter equation in the N = 3 sector and the consistence of the algebraic relations among the matrices defining the MPA and find a new class of exactly integrable model unknown up to now.

Exact solution of an integrable quantum spin chain with competing interactions*

Jian Wang, Yi Qiao, Junpeng Cao +1 more

We construct an integrable quantum spin chain that includes the nearest-neighbor, next-nearest-neighbor, chiral three-spin couplings, Dzyloshinsky–Moriya interactions and unparallel boundary magnetic fields. Although the interactions in bulk materials are isotropic, the spins nearby the boundary fields are polarized, which induce the anisotropic exchanging interactions of the first and last bonds. The U(1) symmetry of the system is broken because of the off-diagonal boundary reflections. Using the off-diagonal Bethe ansatz, we obtain an exact solution to the system. The inhomogeneous T–Q relation and Bethe ansatz equations are given explicitly. We also calculate the ground state energy. The method given in this paper provides a general way to construct new integrable models with certain interesting interactions.

On spin chains and field theories

Radu Roiban

We point out that the existence of global symmetries in a field theory is not an essential ingredient in its relation with an integrable model. We describe an obvious construction which, given an integrable spin chain, yields a field theory whose 1-loop scale transformations are generated by the spin chain Hamiltonian. We also identify a necessary condition for a given field theory to be related to an integrable spin chain. As an example, we describe an anisotropic and parity-breaking generalization of the XXZ Heisenberg spin chain and its associated field theory. The system has no nonabelian global symmetries and does not admit a supersymmetric extension without the introduction of more propagating bosonic fields. For the case of a 2-state chain we find the spectrum and the eigenstates. For certain values of its coupling constants the field theory associated to this general type of chain is the bosonic sector of the Leigh-Strassler deformation of N=4 SYM theory.

Long-range integrable spin chains and plane-wave matrix theory

Niklas Beisert, T Klose

Quantum spin chains arise naturally from perturbative large- N field theories and matrix models. The Hamiltonian of such a model is a long-range deformation of nearest-neighbour type interactions. Here, we study the most general long-range integrable spin chain with spins transforming in the fundamental representation of . We derive the Hamiltonian and the corresponding asymptotic Bethe ansatz at the leading four perturbative orders with several free parameters. Furthermore, we propose Bethe equations for all orders and identify the moduli of the integrable system. We finally apply our results to plane-wave matrix theory and show that the Hamiltonian in a closed sector is not of this form and therefore not integrable beyond the first perturbative order. This also implies that the complete model is not integrable.

Non-Hermitian spin chains with inhomogeneous coupling

Andrei Bytsko

An open $U_q(sl_2)$-invariant spin chain of spin $S$ and length $N$ with inhomogeneous coupling is investigated as an example of a non-Hermitian (quasi-Hermitian) model. For several particular cases of such a chain, the ranges of the deformation parameter $\gamma$ are determined for which the spectrum of the model is real. For a certain range of $\gamma$, a universal metric operator is constructed, and thus, the quasi-Hermitian nature of the model is established. This universal metric operator is nondynamical, its structure is determined only by the symmetry of the model. The results apply, in particular, to all known homogeneous $U_q(sl_2)$-invariant integrable spin chains with nearest-neighbor interaction. In addition, the most general form of a metric operator for a quasi-Hermitian operator in finite-dimensional spaces is discussed.
