Fermi Liquids and Fractional Statistics in One Dimension

Jon Magne Leinaas

Published Mar 31, 2022• 0 citations

Abstract

Interacting fermion systems in one dimension, which in the low energy approximation are described by Luttinger liquid theory, can be reformulated as systems of weakly interacting particles with fractional exchange statistics. This is shown by use of Landau's Fermi liquid theory, with quasiparticles interpreted as adiabatically dressed fermions. An application of this method is included, where boundary excitations of a two-dimensional quantum Hall electron system are studied.

Luttinger liquids, Fermi liquids, and fractional statistics

Jon Magne Leinaas

We discuss how one-dimensional interacting fermion systems, which in the low-energy approximation are described by Luttinger liquid theory, can be reformulated as systems of weakly interacting particles with fractional charge and statistics. Our approach is to use Landau's phenomenological approach to Fermi liquid theory, where the quasiparticles are interpreted as adiabatically dressed fermions. In an earlier publication, the local charge carried by these excitations has been shown to be fractional. We focus here on the statistics of the quasiparticles and show that by a change of momentum variables the Landau parameters of the generalized Fermi fluid can be transformed to zero. This change in interaction is compensated by a change of the entropy function, which is consistent with the interpretation of the quasiparticles as satisfying generalized exclusion statistics.

Quasiparticles in the bosonization theory of interacting fermion liquids at arbitrary dimensions

Tai Kai Ng

In the bosonization theory, we propose in this paper a definition of ``quasiparticles'' for interacting fermions at arbitrary space dimenions. In dimensions higher than one, we show that the constructed quasiparticles are consistent with quasiparticle descriptions in the Landau--Fermi-liquid theory, whereas in one dimension the quasiparticles are nonperturbative objects (spinons and holons) obeying fractional statistics. Application of our theory to Fermion liquids with singular Landau interaction is discussed.

$U(1)$ Fermi liquid theory - A Fermi liquid state that supports exclusion statistics

Tai Kai Ng

We propose in this paper an effective low-energy theory for interacting fermion systems which supports exclusion statistics. The theory can be viewed as an extension of Landau Fermi liquid theory where besides quasi-particle energy $ξ_{\mathbf{k}}$, the kinetic momentum $\mathbf{k}$ of quasi-particles depends also on quasi-particle occupation numbers as a result of momentum ($k$)-dependent current-current interaction. The dependence of kinetic momentum on quasi-particles excitations leads to change in density of states and exclusion statistics. The properties of this new Fermi liquid state is studied where we show that the state (which we call $U(1)$-Fermi liquid state) has Fermi-liquid like properties except that the quasi-particles are {\em not} adiabatically connected to bare fermions in the system and the state may not satisfy Luttinger theorem.

One-dimensional Fermi liquids

Johannes Voit

We review the progress in the theory of one-dimensional (ID) Fermi liquids which has occurred over the past decade. The usual Fermi liquid theory, based on a quasi-particle picture, breaks down in one dimension because of the Peierls divergence in the particle-hole bubble, producing anomalous dimensions of operators, and because of charge-spin separation. Both are related to the importance of scattering processes transferring finite momentum. A description of the low-energy properties of gapless 1D quantum systems can be based on the exactly solvable Luttinger model which incorporates these features, and whose correlation functions can be calculated. Special properties of the eigenvalue spectrum, parameterized by one renormalized velocity and one effective coupling constant per degree of freedom, fully describe the physics of this model. Other gapless 1D models share these properties in a low-energy subspace. The concept of a "Luttinger liquid" implies that their low-energy properties are described by an effective Luttinger model, and constitutes the universality class of these quantum systems. Once the mapping on the Luttinger model is achieved, one has an asymptotically exact solution of the 1D many-body problem. Lattice models identified as Luttinger liquids include the 1D Hubbard model off half-filling, and variants such as the t-J- or the extended Hubbard model. In addition, 1D electron-phonon systems or metals with impurities can be Luttinger liquids, as well as the edge states in the quantum Hall effect.

Landau’s Quasiparticle Mapping: Fermi Liquid Approach and Luttinger Liquid Behavior

Caspar P. Heidbrink, Götz Silvester Uhrig

A continuous unitary transformation is introduced which realizes Landau's mapping of the elementary excitations (quasiparticles) of an interacting Fermi liquid system to those of the system without interaction. The conservation of the number of quasiparticles is important. The transformation is performed numerically for a one-dimensional system, i.e., the worst case for a Fermi liquid approach. Yet evidence for Luttinger liquid behavior is found. Such an approach may open a route to a unified description of Fermi and Luttinger liquids on all energy scales.

One-dimensional bosonization approach to higher dimensions

Vladimir A. Zyuzin

This dissertation is devoted to theoretical studies of strongly interacting one-dimensional and quasi one-dimensional electron systems. The properties of one-dimensional electron systems can be studied within the bosonization technique, which presents fermions as collective bosonic density excitations. The power of this approach is the ability to treat electron-electron interaction exactly in the low-energy limit. The approach predicts the failure of Fermi liquid and an absence of long-range order in one-dimensions. The low-energy description of one-dimensional interacting systems is called the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory. For example, the edges of quantum Hall systems are one-dimensional and described by a chiral Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. Another example is a quantum spin Hall system with helical edge states, which are also described by a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. In our first work, a study of magnetized edge states of quantum spin-Hall system is presented. A magnetic field dependent signature of such edges is obtained, which can be verified in a Coulomb drag experiment. The second part of the dissertation is devoted to quasi-one dimensional antiferromagnetic lattices. A spatially anisotropic lattice antiferromagnet can be viewed as an array of one dimensional spin chains coupled in a way to match the lattice symmetry. This allows to use the non-Abelian bosonization technique to describe the low-energy physics of spin chains and study the inter-chain interactions perturbatively. The work presented in the dissertation studies the effect of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction on the magnetic phase diagram of the spatially anisotropic kagome antiferromagnet. We predict a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction driven phase transition from Neel to Neel+dimer state. In the third work, a novel model of the fractional quantum Hall effect is given. Wave functions of two-dimensional electrons in strong and quantizing magnetic field are essentially one-dimensional. That invites one to use the one-dimensional phenomenological bosonization to describe the density fluctuations of the two-dimensional interacting electrons in magnetic field. Remarkably, the constructed trial bosonized fermion operator describing the electron states with a fixed Landau gauge momentum is effectively two-dimensional.

U(1)U(1)U(1) Fermi liquid theory - A Fermi liquid state that supports exclusion statistics
We propose in this paper an effective low-energy theory for interacting fermion systems which supports exclusion statistics. The theory can be viewed as an extension of Landau Fermi liquid theory where besides quasi-particle energy ξkξ_{\mathbf{k}}ξk​, the kinetic momentum k\mathbf{k}k of quasi-particles depends also on quasi-particle occupation numbers as a result of momentum (kkk)-dependent current-current interaction. The dependence of kinetic momentum on quasi-particles excitations leads to change in density of states and exclusion statistics. The properties of this new Fermi liquid state is studied where we show that the state (which we call U(1)U(1)U(1)-Fermi liquid state) has Fermi-liquid like properties except that the quasi-particles are {\em not} adiabatically connected to bare fermions in the system and the state may not satisfy Luttinger theorem.
