Asymptotic analysis of the form-factors of quantum spin chains

Abstract

Since a long-time, the quantum integrable systems have remained an area where modern mathematical methods have given an access to interesting results in the study of physical systems. The exact computations, both numerical and asymptotic, of the correlation function is one of the most important subject of the theory of the quantum integrable models. In this context an approach based on the calculation of form factors has been proved to be a more effective one. In this thesis, we develop a new method based on the algebraic Bethe ansatz for the computation of the form-factors in thermodynamic limit. It is both applied to and described in the context of isotropic XXX Heisenberg chain, which is one of the examples of an interesting case of critical models where the Fermi-zone is non-compact. In a particular case of two-spinon form-factors, we obtain an exact result in a closed-form which matches the previous result obtained from an approach based on $q$-vertex operator algebra. This method is then generalised to form-factors in higher spinon sectors where we find a reduced determinant representation for the form-factors, in which a higher-level structure for the form-factors is revealed.

Thermodynamic limit of the two-spinon form factors for the zero field XXX chain

N Kitanine, G. Kulkarni

In this paper we propose a method based on the algebraic Bethe ansatz leading to explicit results for the form factors of quantum spin chains in the thermodynamic limit. Starting from the determinant representations we retrieve in particular the formula for the two-spinon form factors for the isotropic XXX Heisenberg chain obtained initially in the framework of the q-vertex operator approach.

Étude asymptotique des facteurs de formes des chaînes de spin quantiques Les systèmes intégrables quantiques restaient longtemps un domaine où des méthodes mathématiques modernes permettaient d’accéder aux résultats intéressants pour l‘étude de systèmes physiques.

Form Factors of the Heisenberg Spin Chain in the Thermodynamic Limit: Dealing with Complex Bethe Roots

Universit&, N Kitanine, #233 +5 more

In this article we study the thermodynamic limit of the form factors of the XXX Heisenberg spin chain using the algebraic Bethe ansatz approach. Our main goal is to express the form factors for the low-lying excited states as determinants of matrices that remain finite dimensional in the thermodynamic limit. We show how to treat all types of the complex roots of the Bethe equations within this framework. In particular we demonstrate that the Gaudin determinant for the higher level Bethe equations arises naturally from the algebraic Bethe ansatz.

A form factor approach to the asymptotic behavior of correlation functions in critical models

N Kitanine, Karol Kajetan Kozlowski, Jean Michel Maillet +2 more

We propose a form factor approach for the computation of the large distance asymptotic behavior of correlation functions in quantum critical (integrable) models. In the large distance regime we reduce the summation over all excited states to one over the particle/hole excitations lying on the Fermi surface in the thermodynamic limit. We compute these sums, over the so-called critical form factors, exactly. Thus we obtain the leading large distance behavior of each oscillating harmonic of the correlation function asymptotic expansion, including the corresponding amplitudes. Our method is applicable to a wide variety of integrable models and yields precisely the results stemming from the Luttinger liquid approach, the conformal field theory predictions and our previous analysis of the correlation functions from their multiple-integral representations. We argue that our scheme applies to a general class of non-integrable quantum critical models as well.

Fonctions d’onde et produits scalaires dans l’ansatz de Bethe

B. Vallet

Integrable models are physical models for which some quantities can be exactly obtained, without use of perturbation theory. Those very special models are source of an increasing interest in theoretical physics. The direct applications in condensed matter physics and the subtle links evidenced more recently with some supersymmetric gauges theories motivated the development of complex mathematical tools. Among these, Bethe ansatz played an important role, and provides an efficient approach for diagonalizing a lot of models of various nature. The first chapter of this thesis is devoted to the introduction to the two approaches of the Bethe ansatz, said “coordinate” and “algebraic”, in the context of the XXX Heisenberg spin chain and a continuous spin generalization of the Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process, the so called Zero-range Chipping model with factorized steady state (ZCM). The second chapter is devoted to the Modified Algebraic Bethe Ansatz in the context of the periodic XXX chain. This modified ansatz is proposed for solving the spectral problem of the open spin chain, for which the usual ansatz fails. The scalar product of the obtained modified Bethe states is studied. The third chapter concerns the resolution of the identity and the inverse functional problem. An expression for the spin states in terms of Bethe states est presented for the ZCM, and an expression for the resolution of the identity in term of Bethe states for the infinite XXZ chain is proved, involving in both cases the contribution of bound states. At last, the fourth chapter concerns determinant representations in the Bethe ansatz. An expression for the “matrix elements of the particle number operator” for the delta-Bose gas in terms of a determinant is proved, and some integral representations for the Izergin-Korepin and Slavnov determinants are investigated, then establishing a new formal link between these two determinant representations.

Reduction formula of form factors for the integrable spin-sXXZ chains and application to correlation functions

Tetsuo Deguchi

For the integrable spin- s XXZ chain we express explicitly any given spin- s form factor in terms of a sum over the scalar products of the spin-1/2 fundamental operators of the algebraic Bethe ansatz. Here, they are given by the operator-valued matrix elements of the monodromy matrix of the spin-1/2 XXZ spin chain. We derive the reduction formula of higher-spin form factors by the fusion method in detail. We call an arbitrary matrix element of a local operator between two Bethe eigenstates a form factor of the operator in this paper. We thus revise the derivation of the higher-spin XXZ form factors given in a previous paper. The revised method has several interesting applications in mathematical physics. For instance, we express the spin- s XXZ correlation function of an arbitrary entry at zero temperature in terms of a sum of multiple integrals.
