Abstract

Abstract We construct an integrable Hubbard model with impurity site containing spin and charge degrees of freedom. The Bethe ansatz equations for the Hamiltonian are derived and two alternative sets of equations for the thermodynamical properties. For this study, the thermodynamical Bethe ansatz (TBA) and the quantum transfer matrix (QTM) approach are used. The latter approach allows for a consistent treatment by use of a finite set of non-linear integral equations. In both cases, TBA and QTM, the contribution of the impurity to the thermodynamical potential is given by integral expressions.

Integrable supersymmetric t-J model with magnetic impurity

P. Schlottmann, Andrei A. Zvyagin

We consider the one-dimensional t-J model, which consists of spin-1/2 electrons on a lattice with nearest neighbor hopping t constrained by the excluded multiple occupancy of the lattice sites and spin-exchange J between neighboring sites. The model is integrable at the supersymmetric point, J=2t. We extend the model by introducing an impurity of arbitrary spin S that interacts with the electrons on the neighboring sites without destroying the integrability. The lattice model is defined by the scattering matrices via the quantum inverse scattering method. The interaction Hamiltonian between the impurity and the itinerant electrons is only explicitly constructed in the continuum limit. The discrete Bethe ansatz equations diagonalizing the model are derived and the solutions are classified according to the string hypothesis. The thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations are derived and the impurity free energy is obtained for arbitrary bandfilling as a function of temperature and external magnetic field. The properties of the impurity depend on one coupling parameter. The impurity can localize up to one itinerant electron and has in general mixed valent properties. The integer valent low T small H fixed point of the impurity corresponds to an asymptotically free spin S, while if either T or H (or both) become large the impurity behaves like an asymptotically free spin (S+).

THERMODYNAMIC BETHE ANSATZ EQUATION FROM FUSION HIERARCHY OF osp (1|2) INTEGRABLE SPIN CHAIN

KAZUMITSU SAKAI, ZENGO TSUBOI

The thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) and the excited state TBA equations for an integrable spin chain related to the Lie superalgebra osp (1|2) are proposed by the quantum transfer matrix (QTM) method. We introduce the fusion hierarchy of the QTM and derive the functional relations among them (T-system) and their certain combinations (Y-system). Their analytical property leads to the nonlinear integral equations which describe the free energy and the correlation length at any finite temperatures. With regard to the free energy, they coincide with the TBA equation based on the string hypothesis.

A Riemann-Hilbert formulation for the finite temperature Hubbard model

Andrea Cavaglià, Martina Cornagliotto, Massimo Mattelliano +1 more

Inspired by recent results in the context of AdS/CFT integrability, we reconsider the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz equations describing the 1D fermionic Hubbard model at finite temperature. We prove that the infinite set of TBA equations are equivalent to a simple nonlinear Riemann-Hilbert problem for a finite number of unknown functions. The latter can be transformed into a set of three coupled nonlinear integral equations defined over a finite support, which can be easily solved numerically. We discuss the emergence of an exact Bethe Ansatz and the link between the TBA approach and the results by Jüttner, Klümper and Suzuki based on the Quantum Transfer Matrix method. We also comment on the analytic continuation mechanism leading to excited states and on the mirror equations describing the finite-size Hubbard model with twisted boundary conditions.

Integrability of spin- 12 fermions with charge pairing and Hubbard interaction

Marcio Jose Martins

In this paper we study the exact solution of a one-dimensional model of spin-12 electrons composed by a nearest-neighbor triplet pairing term and the on-site Hubbard interaction. We argue that this model admits a Bethe ansatz solution through a mapping to a Hubbard chain with imaginary kinetic hopping terms. The Bethe equations are similar to that found by Lieb and Wu [3] but with additional twist phases which are dependent on the ring size. We have studied the spectrum of the model with repulsive interaction by exact diagonalization and through the Bethe equations for large lattice sizes. One feature of the model is that it is possible to define the charge gap for even and odd lattice sites and both converge to the same value in the infinite size limit. We analyze the finite-size corrections to the low-lying spin excitations and argue that they are equivalent to that of the spin-12 isotropic Heisenberg model with a boundary twist depending on the lattice parity. We present the classical statistical mechanics model whose transfer matrix commutes with the model Hamiltonian. To this end we have used the construction employed by Shastry [6], [7] for the Hubbard model. In our case, however, the building block is a free-fermion eight-vertex model with a particular null weight.

Thermodynamics of the one-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model in the spin-disordered regime

Satoshi Ejima, Fabian H. L. Eßler, Florian Gebhard

We analyse the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz equations of the one-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model in the ‘spin-disordered regime’, which is characterized by the temperature being much larger than the magnetic energy scale, but small compared to the Mott–Hubbard gap. In this regime the thermodynamics of the Hubbard model can be thought of in terms of gapped charged excitations with an effective dispersion and spin degrees of freedom that only contribute entropically. In particular, the internal energy and the effective dispersion become essentially independent of temperature. An interpretation of this regime in terms of a putative interacting-electron system at zero temperature leads to a metal–insulator transition at a finite interaction strength above which the gap opens linearly. We relate these observations to studies of the Mott–Hubbard transition in the limit of infinite dimensions.

Exact solution for an exchange impurity in a one-dimensional correlated host

Andrei A. Zvyagin, P. Schlottmann

The one-dimensional t - J model at the supersymmetric point, J = 2t, with a magnetic impurity of arbitrary spin S is studied exactly using the Bethe ansatz technique. The impurity interacts by spin exchange with the electrons on neighbouring sites of a lattice without destroying the integrability. The discrete Bethe ansatz equations diagonalizing the model, and the thermodynamic equations are derived. The impurity free energy is obtained for arbitrary band filling as a function of temperature and external magnetic field. The impurity can localize up to one itinerant hole, and has in general mixed-valent properties.
