ADIABATIC TRANSPORT PROPERTIES AND BERRY’S PHASE IN HEISENBERG-ISING RING
V. E. Korepin, Alfred C. T. Wu
Abstract
In a recent paper, B. Sutherland and B.S. Shastry have constructed an adiabatic process for the Heisenberg spin chain (spin ½) with respect to a change of boundary conditions. In this paper we calculate Berry’s phase for this process. We also evaluate the dependence of energy levels on boundary conditions which permits us to calculate the effective charge-carrying mass.
