Hierarchical models with inverse-square interaction in harmonic confinement
Norio Kawakami, Yoshio Kuramoto
Abstract
A hierarchy of quantum models with inverse-square pairwise interaction is studied for the system with a confining harmonic potential. An approach based on renormalized harmonic oscillators is used to construct the energy spectrum, which naturally results in the renormalized Hartree-Fock description of the interaction. In the limit of weak confinement, the model may serve as a canonical model for multiple chiral Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids for the edge states of the fractional quantum Hall effect. For the SU(\ensuremath{\nu}) symmetric case, we find that the excitation spectrum is classified in terms of the simple roots and the weights of SU(\ensuremath{\nu}) Lie algebra.
