Abstract

In this chapter we carry out the thermodynamic limit on the level of the monodromy matrix introduced in Chapter 12. This means to change the strategy as compared to the Bethe ansatz solutions put forward in Chapters 3 and 12 which depended crucially on the use of periodic boundary conditions. The discreteness of the quasi momenta k j in the Bethe ansatz wave function was due to the finite length L of the system. For infinite L there will be no Lieb-Wu equations which were our main tool for studying the Hubbard model in this book. Instead the commutation relations for the elements of the infinite interval monodromy matrix will utilized in the calculations shown below. We basically follow the articles [335, 336], where the quantum inverse scattering method, in the way as originally designed in [131, 404, 454], was applied to the Hubbard model. Our account will be restricted to the case of zero electron density. Quite generally, the quantum inverse scattering method, as originally conceived in the spirit of the ‘inverse scattering theory’ for classical non-linear evolution equations, is restricted to uncorrelated vacua (ground states) which limits the applicability of the method. Nevertheless, applying it to the empty band ground state of the Hubbard model we shall obtain valuable additional insights into its structure. We shall reveal the connection between Shastry's R -matrix and the Yangian symmetry discussed in Chapter 14.

Yangian Symmetry and Quantum Inverse Scattering Method for the One-Dimensional Hubbard Model

Murakami, S, Gohmann, F, 村上修一 +1 more

We develop the quantum inverse scattering method for the one-dimensional Hubbard model on the infinite interval at zero density. R-matrix and monodromy matrix are obtained as limits from their known counterparts on the finite interval. The R-matrix greatly simplifies in the considered limit. The new R-matrix contains a submatrix which turns into the rational R-matrix of the XXX-chain by an appropriate reparametrization. The corresponding submatrix of the monodromy matrix thus provides a representation of the Y(su(2)) Yangian. From its quantum determinant we obtain an infinite series of mutually commuting Yangian invariant operators which includes the Hamiltonian.

The Bethe ansatz solution

Fabian H. L. Eßler, Holger Frahm, Frank Göhmann +2 more

The bare existence of this book is due to the amazing fact that the solution of the stationary Schrödinger equation for the one-dimensional Hubbard model can be reduced to a set of algebraic equations, which is tractable in the thermodynamic limit. These equations will be derived in this chapter. We will call them the Lieb-Wu equations to honour E. H. Lieb and F. Y. Wu, who first obtained them [298]. The derivation is based on a method, called the nested (coordinate) Bethe ansatz, which goes back to the seminal articles of C. N. Yang [493] and M. Gaudin [154], who generalized earlier work [60, 296] on exactly solvable models to models with internal degrees of freedom. The roots of the Lieb-Wu equations parameterize the eigenvalues and the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian of the one-dimensional Hubbard model. They encode the complete information about the model. These roots are not explicitly known in the general N -particle case. In the thermodynamic limit ( N →∞), however, only the distributions of the roots in the complex plane matter, and many physical quantities can be calculated as solutions of linear or non-linear Fredholm type integral equations. Moreover, it is sometimes possible to use the Lieb-Wu equations in an implicit way even for finite N , e.g., in the proof of the SO(4) highest weight properties of the eigenstates in Sections 3.D and 3.F of the appendix or in the calculation of their norm in Section 3.5.

Introduction to Integrable Many-Body systems III

Zoltán Bajnok, Ladislav Šamaj

Introduction to Integrable Many-Body systems III This is the third part of a three-volume introductory course about integrable systems of interacting bodies. The emphasis is put onto the method of Thermodynamic Bethe ansatz. Two kinds of integrable models are studied. Systems of itinerant electrons, forming a part of Condensed Matter Physics, involve the Hubbard lattice model of electrons with short-ranged one-site interactions (Sect. 20) and the s-d exchange Kondo model (Sect. 21), describing the scattering of conduction electrons on a spin-s impurity. Methods and basic concepts used in Quantum Field Theory are explained on the integrable (1 + 1)-dimensional sine-Gordon model. We start with the classical description of the model in Sect. 22, analyze its finite energy field configurations (soliton, anti-soliton and breathers) and show its classical integrability. The model is quantized by using two schemes: the conformal (Sect. 23) and Lagrangian (Sect. 24) quantizations. The scattering matrix of the sine-Gordon theory is derived at the full quantum level in the bootstrap scheme and is compared to its classical limit in Sect. 25. The parameters of the scattering matrix are related to those of the Lagrangian by calculating the ground-state energy in an applied magnetic field in two ways: Conformal perturbation theory and Thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (Sect. 26). The relation of the sine-Gordon theory to the XXZ Heisenberg model, which provides a complete solution of the sine-Gordon model in a finite volume, is pointed out in Sect. 27. The obtained results are applied in Sect. 28. to the derivation of the exact thermodynamics for the (symmetric) two-component Coulomb gas; this is the first classical two-dimensional fluid with exactly solvable thermodynamics.

The Yangian symmetry of the Hubbard model

Fabian H. L. Eßler, Holger Frahm, Frank Göhmann +2 more

In this chapter we will reveal another piece of the algebraic structure of the Hubbard model. As was first observed by Uglov and Korepin [462], the Hubbard Hamiltonian on the infinite line is invariant under the action of the direct sum of two so-called Yangian quantum groups, extending the rotational and the η-pairing su(2) symmetries we encountered earlier. Following [172] we shall address the issue in a more general context. We present two pairs of fermionic representations of the Y(su(2)) Yangian quantum group which commute with the trigonometric [162] and hyperbolic [40, 41] versions of a Hubbard Hamiltonian with non-nearest-neighbour hopping. In both cases the two representations are also mutually commuting, hence can be combined into a representation of Y(su(2))⊕Y(su(2)). The generators of the Yangian symmetry of the ordinary Hubbard model (with nearest-neighbour hopping) and of a number of other interesting models like the Haldane-Shastry spin-chain [194, 394] are obtained as special cases of our general result. Introduction Quantum groups were introduced by Drinfeld [107, 109]. His original intention was to put what we called the Yang-Baxter algebra into the mathematically more conventional context of Hopf algebras. The Yangians are special quantum groups. Their representation theory [80, 81] is intimately related to the classification of integrable quantum systems with rational R -matrices.

Introduction to Part II

V. E. Korepin, N. M. Bogoliubov, Anatoli G. Izergin

The quantum inverse scattering method relates the Bethe Ansatz to the theory of classical completely integrable differential equations. These are sometimes called soliton equations. The modern way to solve them is called the classical inverse scattering method. In a sense this is a nonlinear generalization of the Fourier transform. In this Part the quantum inverse scattering method is expounded. The main statements of the classical inverse scattering method necessary for quantization are given in Chapter V where the Lax representation is introduced. The Hamiltonian structure of integrable models is also discussed along with the infinite number of integrals of motion. The most convenient method of analyzing the Hamiltonian structure relies on the classical r -matrix. Some concrete models will be considered. Chapter VI is devoted in particular to the quantum inverse scattering method. The R-matrix, which is the main object of this method, is introduced. The Yang-Baxter equation for the R-matrix is discussed. The main statements of the method are given and a number of examples are presented. The algebraic formulation of the Bethe Ansatz, one of the main achievements of the quantum inverse scattering method, is presented in Chapter VII. The notion of the determinant of the transition matrix in the quantum case is introduced in this chapter. (This is closely related to the concept of the antipode in quantum groups.)

Introduction to Part I

V. E. Korepin, N. M. Bogoliubov, Anatoli G. Izergin

A method of solution of a number of quantum field theory and statistical mechanics models in two space-time dimensions is presented in this Part. This method was first suggested by H. Bethe in 1931 and is traditionally called the Bethe Ansatz. Later on the method was developed by Hulthen, Yang and Yang, Lieb, Sutherland, Baxter, Gaudin and others (see, and). We begin the presentation with the coordinate Bethe Ansatz not only due to historical reasons but also because of its simplicity and clarity. The multi-particle scattering matrix appears to be equal to the product of two-particle matrices for integrable models. This property of two-particle reducibility is of primary importance when constructing the Bethe wave function. The important feature of integrable models is that there is no mass-shell multiple particle production. This property is closely connected to the existence of an infinite number of conservation laws in such models; this will be clear from Part II. Four main models, namely the one-dimensional Bose gas, the Heisenberg magnet, the massive Thirring model and the Hubbard model, are considered in Part I. Eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonians of these models are constructed. Imposing periodic boundary conditions leads to a system of equations for the permitted values of momenta. These are known as the Bethe equations. This system can also be derived from a certain variational principle, the corresponding action being called the Yang-Yang action.
