Diagonalisation of corner transfer matrix by orthogonal polynomials

Trong Tuong Truong, Ingo Peschel

Published Nov 7, 1988• 11 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The authors discuss the generator of Baxter's corner transfer matrix (1982) for a critical Ising model of finite size. They perform its diagonalisation in terms of special orthogonal polynomials and give an asymptotic expression of the eigenvalues for large size, which agrees with the conformal predictions.

Conformal invariance and critical spectrum of corner transfer matrices

Brian Davies, Paul A. Pearce

The finite-size scaling spectra of Ising model corner transfer matrices and their generators are studied at criticality. The generators are diagonalised using fermion algebra. The low-lying eigenvalues, given by the zeros of Meixner polynomials, are equally spaced and collapse like 1/log N for large N as predicted by conformal invariance. The asymptotics are obtained using a generalised Euler-Maclaurin summation formula. The shift in the largest eigenvalue is given analytically as pi c/6 log N with central charge c=1/2. The spectrum generating functions, for both fixed and free boundary conditions, are expressed simply in terms of the c=1/2 Virasoro characters chi Delta (q) with modular parameter q=exp(- pi /log N) and conformal dimensions Delta =0, 1/2, 1/16.

THE CORNER TRANSFER MATRIX OF SOME FREE-FERMION SYSTEMS AND MEIXNER’S POLYNOMIALS

Trong Tuong Truong, Ingo Peschel

Corner transfer matrices of some free-fermion vertex systems on a finite lattice, are exactly diagonalised in the Hamiltonian limit with the help of a special class of orthogonal polynomials: the Meixner polynomials. We present the derivation, discuss the asymptotic behavior for a large lattice and compare the results with numerical computation.

Finite-size scaling of corner transfer matrices for the two-dimensional Ising model

Ingo Peschel

The eigenvalue spectra of generalised corner transfer matrices are calculated for an Ising model on a square lattice. The predictions of conformal invariance at the critical point are thereby verified.

Corner Transfer Matrices for the Gaussian Model

Ingo Peschel, Trong Tuong Truong

Abstract We study Baxter's corner transfer matrix for a Gaussian model on a strongly anisotropic square lattice of finite size. The problem is equivalent to finding the normal modes of a vibrating chain with position‐dependent masses and springs. The eigenvalues are found analytically, using Carlitz polynomials, and the predictions of conformal invariance are verified for the critical system.

CONFORMAL PROPERTIES OF CRITICAL ISING MODEL CORNER TRANSFER MATRICES

Brian Davies, Paul A. Pearce

The scaling spectra of finite-size Ising model corner transfer matrices (CTMs) are studied at criticality, using the fermion algebra. The low-lying eigenvalues collapse like 1/ log N for large N as predicted by conformal invariance. The shift in the largest eigenvalue is evaluated analytically using a generalized Euler-Maclaurin summation formula giving πc/6 log N with central charge c=1/2. The spectrum generating functions, for both fixed and free boundary conditions, are expressed simply in terms of the c=1/2 Virasoro characters χ∆(q) with modular parameter q= exp (−π/ log N) and conformal dimensions ∆=0, 1/2, 1/16.

Corner transfer matrix of a critical free fermion system

Hans-Peter Eckle, Trong Tuong Truong

In order to diagonalize the generator of the corner transfer matrix of a critical free-fermion 8-vertex system with magnetic field the authors derive an integral representation for the eigenvector components of the generator. At large N they numerically verify the predictions of conformal invariance for critical systems.
