Abstract

The exact expression for the density matrix of the kink ground state of the ferromagnetic XXZ chain is obtained. Utilizing this, we exactly calculate various correlation functions such as the longitudinal and transverse spin-spin correlation functions, and the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic string formation probabilities. The asymptotic behaviors of these correlation functions are also analyzed. As a consequence, we find that the spin-spin correlation functions decay exponentially for large distances, while the string formation probabilities exhibit Gaussian decay for large strings. We also evaluate the entanglement entropy, which shows interesting behaviors due to the lack of the translational invariance of the state.

Density matrix elements and entanglement entropy for the spin-1/2 XXZ chain at Δ = 1/2

Jun Sato, Masahiro Shiroishi

We have analytically obtained all the density matrix elements up to six lattice sites for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ chain at Δ = 1/2. We use the multiple integral formula of the correlation function for the massless XXZ chain derived by Jimbo and Miwa. As for the spin–spin correlation functions, we have newly obtained the fourth- and fifth-neighbour transverse correlation functions. We have calculated all the eigenvalues of the density matrix and analyse the eigenvalue distribution. Using these results the exact values of the entanglement entropy for the reduced density matrix up to six lattice sites have been obtained. We observe that our exact results agree quite well with the asymptotic formula predicted by the conformal field theory.

Asymptotic Behavior of the Emptiness Formation Probability in the Critical Phase of XXZ Spin Chain

V. E. Korepin, C.N. Yang, Sergei L. Lukyanov +2 more

We study the Emptiness Formation Probability (EFP) for the spin 1/2 XXZ spin chain. EFP P (n) detects a formation of ferromagnetic string of the length n in the ground state. It is expected that EFP decays in a Gaussian way for large strings P (n) n . Here, we propose the explicit expressions for the rate of Gaussian decay C as well as for the exponent . In order to con rm the validity of our formulae, we employed an ab initio simulation technique of the density-matrix renormalization group to simulate XXZ spin chain of sucient length. Furthermore, we performed Monte-Carlo integration of the Jimbo-Miwa multiple integral for P (n). Those numerical results for P (n) support our formulae fairly de nitely.

String correlation functions of the spin-1/2 HeisenbergXXZchain

Michael Bortz, Jun Sato, Masahiro Shiroishi

We calculate certain string correlation functions, originally introduced as order parameters in integer spin chains, for the spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg chain at zero temperature and in the thermodynamic limit. For small distances, we obtain exact results from Bethe Ansatz and exact diagonalization, whereas in the large-distance limit, field-theoretical arguments yield an asymptotic algebraic decay. We also make contact with two-point spin-correlation functions in the asymptotic limit.

The large-spin asymptotics of the ferromagnetic XXZ chain

Tom Michoel, Bruno Nachtergaele

We present new results and give a concise review of recent previous results on the asymptotics for large spin of the low-lying spectrum of the ferromagnetic XXZ Heisenberg chain with kink boundary conditions. Our main interest is to gain detailed information on the interface ground states of this model and the low-lying excitations above them. The new and most detailed results are obtained using a rigorous version of bosonization, which can be interpreted as a quantum central limit theorem.
