Fourier and Schur-Weyl transforms applied to XXX Heisenberg magnet

Published Mar 1, 2010• 1 citation

Abstract

Similarities and differences between Fourier and Schur-Weyl transforms have been discussed in the context of a one-dimensional Heisenberg magnetic ring with N nodes. We demonstrate that main difference between them correspond to another partitioning of the Hilbert space of the magnet. In particular, we point out that application of the quantum Fourier transform corresponds to splitting of the Hilbert space of the model into subspaces associated with the orbits of the cyclic group, whereas, the Schur-Weyl transform corresponds to splitting into subspaces associated with orbits of the symmetric group.

Kinematics of the Heisenberg chain and irreducible bases of the Weyl duality

Barbara Lulek, Dorota Jakubczyk, Paweł Jakubczyk

Quantum kinematics of the linear Heisenberg ring, consisting of N crystal nodes, each with spin s, is presented in terms of the Weyl duality between actions of the symmetric and unitary groups in the space of quantum states of the magnet. This space is spanned on magnetic configurations which gives rise to an application of the combinatorial Robinson–Schensted–Knuth algorithm for a unique classification of irreducible basis of the duality of Weyl in terms of a pair of tableaux: a standard Young tableau in the alphabet of nodes, accompanied by a semistandard Weyl tableau in the alphabet of spins. Similarities and distinctions between various group-theoretic and combinatorial objects are discussed within the context of the magnetic interpretation. In particular, the role of the spectrum of Jucys–Murphy operators in the clasification and construction of magnetic eigenstates corresponding to Young tableaux is illustrated.

Symmetry classes connected with the magnetic Heisenberg ring

Bernd Fiedler

Abstract. It is well-known (see [1]) that for a Heisenberg magnet symmetry operators and symmetry classes can be defined in a very similar way as for tensors (see e.g. [2, 3, 4]). Newer papers which consider the action of permutations on the Hilbert space H of the Heisenberg magnet are [5, 6, 7, 8]. We define symmetry classes and commutation symmetries in the Hilbert space H of the 1D spin-1/2 Heisenberg magnetic ring with N sites and investigate them by means of tools from the representation theory of symmetric groups SN such as decompositions of ideals of the group ring C[SN], idempotents of C[SN], discrete Fourier transforms of SN, Littlewood-Richardson products. In particular, we determine smallest symmetry classes and stability subgroups of both single eigenvectors v and subspaces U of eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian H of the magnet. Expectedly, the symmetry classes defined by stability subgroups of v or U are bigger than the corresponding smallest symmetry classes of v or U, respectively. The determination of the smallest symmetry class for U bases on an algorithm which calculates explicitely a generating idempotent for a non-direct sum of right ideals of C[SN]. Let U (r1,r2)

It is well-known (see [1]) that for a Heisenberg magnet symmetry operators and symmetry classes can be defined in a very similar way as for tensors (see e.g. [2, 3, 4]). Newer papers which consider the action of permutations on the Hilbert space Ti of the Heisenberg magnet are [5, 6, 7, 8]. We define symmetry classes and commutation symmetries in the Hilbert space H of the 1D spin-1/2 Heisenberg magnetic ring with N sites and investigate them by means of tools from the representation theory of symmetric groups C[ S N ] such as decompositions of ideals of the group ring C[ S N ], idempotents of C[ S N ], discrete Fourier transforms of S N , Littlewood-Richardson products. In particular, we determine smallest symmetry classes and stability subgroups of both single eigenvectors v and subspaces U of eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian H of the magnet. Expectedly, the symmetry classes defined by stability subgroups of v or U are bigger than the corresponding smallest symmetry classes of v or U , respectively. The determination of the smallest symmetry class for U bases on an algorithm which calculates explicitely a generating idempotent for a non-direct sum of right ideals of C[ S N ]. Let U (r1,r2) μ be a subspace of eigenvectors of a fixed eigenvalue μ of H with weight ( r 1 , r 2 ). If one determines the smallest symmetry class for every v U (r1,r2) μ then one can observe jumps of the symmetry behaviour. For "generic" v U (r1,r2) μ all smallest symmetry classes have the same maximal dimension d and 'structure'. But U (r1,r2) μ can contain linear subspaces on which the dimension of the smallest symmetry class of v jumps to a value smaller than d. Then the stability subgroup of v can increase. We can calculate such jumps explicitely. In our investigations we use computer calculations by means of the Mathematica packages PERMS and HRing.

Kinematics of the one-dimensional finite Heisenberg magnet with impurities

Barbara Lulek

The kinematics of the one-dimensional finite Heisenberg magnetic ring with impurities is discussed in the light of the general recipe of Weyl (1952). The cyclic group generating the ring, and the group of all its automorphisms, play the roles of the obvious and hidden symmetry respectively. The hidden symmetry group imposes a property of the distribution of quantum states of a translationally invariant ensemble of magnets over the finite Brillouin zone. Inhomogeneities of the distribution arise from irregular orbits of the action of the cyclic group on the set of all magnetic configurations of the ensemble. Size-dependent effects, like rarefied bands, are classified using the arithmetic structure of integers, (prime numbers, socles and arithmetic exponents), which is more appropriate than the linear order in the ring of integers.

Self-adjoint symmetry operators connected with the magnetic Heisenberg ring

Bernd Fiedler

Abstract. In [1] we defined symmetry classes, commutation symmetries and symmetry operators in the Hilbert space H of the 1D spin-1/2 Heisenberg magnetic ring with N sites and investigated them by means of tools from the representation theory of symmetric groups SN such as decompositions of ideals of the group ring C[SN], idempotents of C[SN], discrete Fourier transforms of SN, Littlewood-Richardson products. In the present paper we consider symmetry operators a ∈ C[SN] on H which fulfil a ∗ = a, where a denotes the complex conjugate of a and the element a ∗ ∈ C[SN] of a = P p app is defined by a ∗ = P p app−1. Such symmetry operators are self-adjoint because of the relation 〈au|v 〉 = 〈u|a ∗ v 〉 which holds true for all a ∈ C[SN] and u, v ∈ H. They yield consequently observables of the quantum mechanical Heisenberg model. We prove the following results:

Fourier transform of random variables associated with the multi-dimensional Heisenberg Lie algebra

Luigi Accardi, Andreas Boukas

We compute the Fourier transform (or vacuum characteristic function) of quantum random variables (observables), defined as self-adjoint finite sums of Fock space operators, satisfying the multi-dimensional Heisenberg Lie algebra commutation relations. The main tool is a splitting formula for the multi-dimensional Heisenberg group obtained by Feinsilver and Pap.
