Hugenholtz-Pines theorem with broken $U(1) \times SO(N)$ or $U(1) \times SU(N)$ symmetry

Abstract

The Hugenholtz-Pines (HP) theorem is derived for Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with internal degrees of freedom. The low-energy Ward-Takahashi identity is provided in the system with the linear and quadratic symmetry breaking terms. This identity serves to organize the HP theorem for multicomponent BECs, such as the binary BEC as well as the spin-$f$ spinor BEC in the presence of a magnetic field with broken U$(1)$$\times$SO$(3)$ symmetry. The experimental method based on the Stern-Gerlach experiment is proposed for studying the Ward-Takahashi identity.

Bose–Einstein condensation of triplons with a weakly broken U(1) symmetry

Asliddin Khudoyberdiev, Abdulla Rakhimov, A. Schilling

The low-temperature properties of certain quantum magnets can be described in terms of a Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnetic quasiparticles (triplons). Some mean-field approaches (MFA) to describe these systems, based on the standard grand canonical ensemble, do not take the anomalous density into account and leads to an internal inconsistency, as it has been shown by Hohenberg and Martin, and may therefore produce unphysical results. Moreover, an explicit breaking of the U(1) symmetry as observed, for example, in TlCuCl 3 makes the application of MFA more complicated. In the present work, we develop a self-consistent MFA approach, similar to the Hartree–Fock–Bogolyubov approximation in the notion of representative statistical ensembles, including the effect of a weakly broken U(1) symmetry. We apply our results on experimental data of the quantum magnet TlCuCl 3 and show that magnetization curves and the energy dispersion can be well described within this approximation assuming that the BEC scenario is still valid. We predict that the shift of the critical temperature T c due to a finite exchange anisotropy is rather substantial even when the anisotropy parameter γ is small, e.g., of T c in H = 6 T and for .

Conserving Gapless Mean-Field Theory of a Multi-Component Bose–Einstein Condensate

Yoshiyuki Kondo, Takafumi Kita

We develop a mean-field theory for Bose-Einstein condensation of spin-1 atoms with internal degrees of freedom. It is applicable to nonuniform systems at finite temperatures with a plausible feature of satisfying the Hugenholtz-Pines theorem and various conservation laws simultaneously. Using it, we clarify thermodynamic properties and the excitation spectra of a uniform gas. The condensate is confirmed to remain in the same internal state from T=0 up to $T_{c}$ for both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interactions. The excitation spectra of the antiferromagnetic (ferromagnetic) interaction are found to have only a single gapless mode, contrary to the prediction of the Bogoliubov theory where three (two) of them are gapless. We present a detailed discussion on those single-particle excitations in connection with the collective excitations.

Spontaneous U(1) symmetry breaking and Bose–Einstein condensation

Qian Feng, HUANG HONG-BIN, Qi Guan-Xiao +1 more

Based on Bogoliubov's truncated Hamiltonian H B for a weakly interacting Bose system, and adding a U(1) symmetry breaking term V 1/2 (λ a 0 +λ * a 0 + ) to H B , we show by using the coherent state theory and the mean-field approximation rather than the c-number approximations, that the Bose–Einstein condensation(BEC) occurs if and only if the U(1) symmetry of the system is spontaneously broken. The real ground state energy and the justification of the Bogoliubov c-number substitution are given by solving the Schrödinger eigenvalue equation and using the self-consistent condition.

Ward-Takahashi relations for SO(4) symmetry in the Hubbard model

Atsushi Masumizu, Kiyoshi Sogo

Ward-Takahashi relations for spin symmetry $\mathrm{SU}{(2)}_{\mathrm{S}}$ and pseudospin symmetry $\mathrm{SU}{(2)}_{\mathrm{C}}$ are derived for the simple Hubbard model in arbitrary dimensions. For this purpose we generally discuss local SO(4) symmetry in terms of Clifford algebra, and employ a gauge transformed form of the original Hubbard Hamiltonian, which makes the Ward-Takahashi relations much simpler. Derived Ward-Takahashi relations are rewritten as the relations between self-energy and vertex part to discuss spontaneously broken symmetry and Fermi liquid property of the system for zero temperature magnetism.
