Conformal invariance and critical behavior of a quantum Hamiltonian with three-spin coupling in a longitudinal field

K. A. Penson, Jean‐Marc Debierre, Loïc Turban

The critical behavior of a quantum spin chain with three-spin coupling in transverse and longitudinal fields is studied by finite-size scaling. The phase diagram and the thermal and magnetic critical exponents are obtained. Conformal invariance is used to extract the value of the central charge or conformal anomaly c. The results strongly suggest that for a finite longitudinal field the model belongs to the same universality class as the two-dimensional three-state Potts model.

Entanglement entropy, conformal invariance, and the critical behavior of the anisotropic spin- s Heisenberg chains: DMRG study

J. C. Xavier

Using the density-matrix renormalization group, we investigate the critical behavior of the anisotropic Heisenberg chains with spins up to $s=9/2$. We show that through the relations arising from the conformal invariance and the DMRG technique it is possible to obtain accurate finite-size estimates of the conformal anomaly $c$, the sound velocity ${v}_{s}$, the anomalous dimension ${x}_{bulk}$, and the surface exponent ${x}_{s}$ of the anisotropic spin-$s$ Heisenberg chains with relatively good accuracy without fitting parameters. Our results indicate that the entanglement entropy $S(L,{l}_{A},s)$ of the spin-$s$ Heisenberg chains satisfies the relation $S(L,{l}_{A},s)\ensuremath{-}S(L,{l}_{A},s\ensuremath{-}1)=1/(2s+1)$ for $s>3/2$ in the thermodynamic limit.

Entanglement properties of correlated random spin chains and similarities with conformally invariant systems

João C. Getelina, Francisco Castilho Alcaraz, José A. Hoyos

We study the R\'enyi entanglement entropy and the Shannon mutual information for a class of spin-1/2 quantum critical XXZ chains with random coupling constants which are partially correlated. In the XX case, distinctly from the usual uncorrelated random case where the system is governed by an infinite-disorder fixed point, the correlated-disorder chain is governed by finite-disorder fixed points. Surprisingly, we verify that, although the system is not conformally invariant, the leading behavior of the R\'enyi entanglement entropies are similar to those of the clean (no randomness) conformally invariant system. In addition, we compute the Shannon mutual information among subsystems of our correlated-disorder quantum chain and verify the same leading behavior as the $n=2$ R\'enyi entanglement entropy. This result extends a recent conjecture concerning the same universal behavior of these quantities for conformally invariant quantum chains. For the generic spin-1/2 quantum critical XXZ case, the true asymptotic regime is identical to that in the uncorrelated disorder case. However, these finite-disorder fixed points govern the low-energy physics up to a very long crossover length scale, and the same results as in the XX case apply. Our results are based on exact numerical calculations and on a numerical strong-disorder renormalization group.

Using the density-matrix renormalization group, we investigate the critical behavior of the anisotropic Heisenberg chains with spins up to s=9/2s=9/2s=9/2. We show that through the relations arising from the conformal invariance and the DMRG technique it is possible to obtain accurate finite-size estimates of the conformal anomaly ccc, the sound velocity vs{v}_{s}vs​, the anomalous dimension xbulk{x}_{bulk}xbulk​, and the surface exponent xs{x}_{s}xs​ of the anisotropic spin-sss Heisenberg chains with relatively good accuracy without fitting parameters. Our results indicate that the entanglement entropy S(L,lA,s)S(L,{l}_{A},s)S(L,lA​,s) of the spin-sss Heisenberg chains satisfies the relation $S(L,{l}_{A},s)\ensuremath{-}S(L,{l}_{A},s\ensuremath{-}1)=1/(2s+1)$ for s>3/2s>3/2s>3/2 in the thermodynamic limit.
