Fermionic spectra in integrable models

We derive a semi-classical formula for computing the spectrum of bound states made of Majorana fermions in a generic non-integrable two-dimensional (2D) quantum field theory with a set of degenerate vacua. We illustrate the application of the formula in a series of cases, including an asymmetric well potential where the spectra of bosons and fermions may have some curious features. We also discuss the merging of fermionic and bosonic spectra in the presence of supersymmetry. Finally, we use the semi-classical formula to analyse the evolution of the particle spectra in a class of non-integrable supersymmetry models.We derive a semi-classical formula for computing the spectrum of bound states made of Majorana fermions in a generic non-integrable two-dimensional (2D) quantum field theory with a set of degenerate vacua.

Collective excitations and confinement in the excitation spectra of the spinless fermion model on a ladder

Kenji Yonemitsu

Intrachain and interchain local charge-transfer excitation spectra and the single-particle density of states are calculated in the spinless fermion model on a ladder with varying intrachain nearest-neighbor repulsion and interchain transfer integral at and near half filling by using the finite-temperature density-matrix renormalization-group method. Collective excitations are found to govern the low-energy intrachain spectra, while only individual local excitations are present in the interchain spectra. For strong intrachain repulsion, the low-energy motion of fermions is confined within a chain. The interchain motion of fermions is not bandlike but incoherent. As a consequence, the low-energy intrachain spectra are sensitive at half filling to the interchain transfer integral that weakens the density-density correlation along the chains. Similarly, the low-energy intrachain spectra are sensitive near half filling to the chemical potential that reduces the effect of the umklapp process. Similarities are pointed out between these findings and the experimentally observed, optical conductivity spectra in the quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors $(\mathrm{TMTSF}{)}_{2}X.$ Intrachain and interchain local charge-transfer excitation spectra and the single-particle density of states are calculated in the spinless fermion model on a ladder with varying intrachain nearest-neighbor repulsion and interchain transfer integral at and near half filling by using the finite-temperature density-matrix renormalization-group method.

Path integral and boson-fermion expansion in many-fermion systems: Lipkin model

Kazunari Kaneko

In a previous paper, a quantum-mechanical formulation involving both mean fields and independent-particle fields in many-fermion systems was proposed using the path-integral technique. Then the semiclassical calculation of the energy spectra was performed, and the quantization rule was derived by applying a stationary phase approximation on the path integral. In this paper, a boson-fermion expansion is derived from our formulation using Dirac quantization. As an illustration, the Lipkin model is utilized.In a previous paper, a quantum-mechanical formulation involving both mean fields and independent-particle fields in many-fermion systems was proposed using the path-integral technique.
