A TEMPLATE FOR QUANTUM SPIN CHAIN SPECTRA

Abstract

We consider a series of N-state L(≥N) site quantum spin chains, characterised by the ordered partition of N into 2 parts, N=P+M. These (P/M) chains are invariant under an action of UqSU(P/M), and are built from a representation of the Hecke algebra HL-1(q). We establish that the intersection of the spectra of a (P/M) and (P'/M') chain of fixed length L is the spectrum of the (min(P,P')/min(M,M')) chain of that length. We establish that the spectrum of the (P/M) chain breaks into blocks corresponding to irreducible representations of HL-1(q) (or equivalently irreducible representations of UqSU(P/M)) characterised by Young diagrams with no rectangular subdiagrams of dimension (P+1)×(M+1) (height × width resp.). We give the corresponding quotient relations for the Hecke algebra. We discuss several implications of these results.

On quantum spin-chain spectra and the representation theory of Hecke algebras by augmented braid diagrams

Paul Martin, Bruce W. Westbury

We use simple diagrammatic techniques to analyse the ordinary representation theory of the Hecke algebras , and to construct modules (resp. representations) which are generically simple (irreducible) and well defined in every specialization of q, including roots of unity. We determine several physically important properties of these modules, generalizing properties of the Temperley - Lieb algebra and its diagrams which have proved useful for lattice models. We show how these results can be used to locate energy level crossings in invariant quantum spin chains, and locate a new crossing of the thermodynamic limit spin chain at as an example.

Algebraic structure of translation-invariant spin-1/2xxzandq-Potts quantum chains

Dan Lévy

Spin-1/2 xxz and q-Potts quantum chains with translation-invariant boundary conditions are analyzed as representations of the periodic Temperley-Lieb-Jones algebra. A connection with the affine Hecke algebra is established and used to find the irreducible content. This analysis provides an explanation for both the degeneracies and the overlap in the spectra of these models.

BETHE ANSATZ SOLUTIONS FOR TEMPERLEY–LIEB QUANTUM SPIN CHAINS

R. C. T. Ghiotto, André Luiz Malvezzi

We solve the spectrum of quantum spin chains based on representations of the Temperley–Lieb algebra associated with the quantum groups [Formula: see text] for Xn=A1, Bn, Cn and Dn. The tool is a modified version of the coordinate Bethe ansatz through a suitable choice of the Bethe states which give to all models the same status relative to their diagonalization. All these models have equivalent spectra up to degeneracies and the spectra of the lower-dimensional representations are contained in the higher-dimensional ones. Periodic boundary conditions, free boundary conditions and closed nonlocal boundary conditions are considered. Periodic boundary conditions, unlike free boundary conditions, break quantum group invariance. For closed nonlocal cases the models are quantum group invariant as well as periodic in a certain sense.

The spectra of quantum chains with free boundary conditions and Virasoro algebras

G von Gehlen, V. Rittenberg

At the critical point the spectra of quantum chains with periodic and twisted boundary conditions are described by irreducible representations of two Virasoro algebras with the same central charge. The authors show that in the case of free boundary conditions, the spectra can be understood in terms of irreducible representations of a single Virasoro algebra. For the Ising and the three-state Potts models, the corresponding irreducible representations are identified.

Quantum spin chains of Temperley–Lieb type: periodic boundary conditions, spectral multiplicities and finite temperature

Britta Aufgebauer, Andreas Klümper

We determine the spectra of a class of quantum spin chains of Temperley–Lieb type by utilizing the concept of Temperley–Lieb equivalence with the S = 1/2 XXZ chain as a reference system. We consider open boundary conditions and, in particular, periodic boundary conditions. For both types of boundaries the identification with XXZ spectra is performed within isomorphic representations of the underlying Temperley–Lieb algebra. For open boundaries the spectra of these models differ from the spectrum of the associated XXZ chain only in the multiplicities of the eigenvalues. The periodic case is rather different. Here we show how the spectrum is obtained sector-wise from the spectra of globally twisted XXZ chains. As a spin-off, we obtain a compact formula for the degeneracy of the momentum operator eigenvalues. Our representative theoretical results allow for the study of the thermodynamics by establishing a TL-equivalence at finite temperature and finite field .

Numerical investigation of correlation functions for the UqSU(2) invariant spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain

P F Arndt, T Heinzel

We consider the U q SU(2) invariant spin-1/2 XXZ quantum spin chain at the roots of unity q=exp(i pi /(m+1)), corresponding to different minimal models of conformal field theory. We conduct a numerical investigation of the correlation functions of U q SU(2) scalar two-point operators in order to find which operators in the minimal models they correspond to. Using graphical representations of the Temperley-Lieb algebra we are able to deal with chains of up to 28 sites. Depending on q, the correlation functions show different characteristics and finite-size behaviour. For m=2/3, which corresponds to the Lee-Yang edge singularity, we find the surface and bulk critical exponent -1/5. Together with the known result in the case m=3 (Ising model) this indicates that in the continuum limit the two-point operators involve conformal fields of spin-m-1/m+1. For other roots of unity q the chains are too short to determine the surface and bulk critical exponents.
