An extended expression of the dynamic self-energy of one-particle Green function is obtained up to order 1/m in m-component Bose systems, by means of a complex unperturbed propagator. As applications of it, dynamic critical exponents of the TDGL model as well as of a Bose system are evaluated to order 1/m, for both short-range and long-range interactions. These confirm the previous results of the TDGL model and of the Bose system for short-range interactions. An effective interaction Veff(p, iωn) is obtained to order 1/m, which is useful for discussion on anomalies of transport coefficients near the λ-transition.

In this sequel paper we explore how macroscopic quantum phenomena can be measured or understood from the behavior of quantum correlations which exist in a quantum system of many particles or components and how the interaction strengths change with energy or scale, under ordinary situations and when the system is near its critical point. We use the nPI (master) effective action related to the Boltzmann-BBGKY / Schwinger-Dyson hierarchy of equations as a tool for systemizing the contributions of higher order correlation functions to the dynamics of lower order correlation functions. Together with the large N expansion discussed in our first paper(MQP1) we explore 1) the conditions whereby an H-theorem is obtained, which can be viewed as a signifier of the emergence of macroscopic behavior in the system. We give two more examples from past work: 2) the nonequilibrium dynamics of N atoms in an optical lattice under the large
N (field components), 2PI and second order perturbative expansions, illustrating how N and
N enter in these three aspects of quantum correlations, coherence and coupling strength. 3) the behavior of an interacting quantum system near its critical point, the effects of quantum and thermal fluctuations and the conditions under which the system manifests infrared dimensional reduction. We also discuss how the effective field theory concept bears on macroscopic quantum phenomena: the running of the coupling parameters with energy or scale imparts a dynamical-dependent and an interaction-sensitive definition of `macroscopia'.
Phase transitions of second order play an important role in solid state physics. It is in their nature that they occur only in systems that are composed from an infinite number of components since, only that way, the necessary conditions for this (for example, scale invariance) are granted. Such a system at a second order phase transition is called critical. The infinite number of particles poses a particular challenge, even for the description of classical systems. Quantum mechanical systems, however, are distinctly more difficult to treat in this context, since the dimension of their state space grows exponentially with the number of their particles, not to mention the fact that only a few – and usually only one-dimensional – quantum systems are exactly solvable. One of these exactly solvable one-dimensional quantum systems is the SU(N) Haldane-Shastry spin chain that may be regarded as the archetype of long-range spin chains. Moreover, it is critical in the continuum limit and its effective low-energy theory is the so-called SU(N)_1 Wess-Zumino-Witten model. It is a quantum field theory which is not only conformally invariant, so, in particular, scale invariant, but, furthermore, exhibits additional symmetry in the shape of an infinite extension of the Lie algebra su(N) associated with SU(N). Recent studies show that, from these very structures of the SU(N)_1 WZW model, one can, in turn, derive spin systems, whose arrangement is not necessarily the one of a spin chain, but even two-dimensional distributions of the spins in the plane are possible. These systems are again characterized by long-range interactions, comparable to those of the Haldane-Shastry spin chain, which is also obtained as a result of an appropriate choice of parameters. \n \nIn this thesis, we extend the construction already known for the SU(N) case to the supersymmetric case GL(m|n). Here, we construct explicitly both, a special quantum state as well as a Hamiltonian that projects this quantum state to zero. We also discuss the Hamiltonian in the special case of the GL(1|1) spin chain and compare it to the respective GL(1|1) Haldane-Shastry spin chain on a bipartite state space. Both are critical and we identify the corresponding conformal field theories. Subsequently, we describe a generalization of this system in terms of two parameters and explain how its spectrum was found. It is then analyzed and its continuum limit is determined. In doing so, it shows that the system displays criticality only for generic values of one of the two parameters.
We study the nonequilibrium slow dynamics for the Kitaev model both in the presence and the absence of disorder. For the case without disorder, we demonstrate, via an exact solution, that the model provides an example of a system with an anisotropic critical point and exhibits unusual scaling of defect density
n and residual energy
Q for a slow linear quench. We provide a general expression for the scaling of
n(Q) generated during a slow power-law dynamics, characterized by a rate ${\ensuremath{\tau}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ and exponent $\ensuremath{\alpha}$, from a gapped phase to an anisotropic quantum critical point in
d dimensions, for which the energy gap ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{\stackrel{P\vec}{k}}\ensuremath{\sim}{k}_{i}^{z}$ for
m momentum components
(i=1,…,m) and $\ensuremath{\sim}{k}_{i}^{{z}^{\ensuremath{'}}}$ for the rest $d\ensuremath{-}m$ components
(i=m+1,…,d) with $z\ensuremath{\le}{z}^{\ensuremath{'}}$: $n\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\tau}}^{\ensuremath{-}[m+(d\ensuremath{-}m)z/{z}^{\ensuremath{'}}]\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\alpha}/(z\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\alpha}+1)}(Q\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\tau}}^{\ensuremath{-}[(m+z)+(d\ensuremath{-}m)z/{z}^{\ensuremath{'}}]\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\alpha}/(z\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\alpha}+1)})$. These general expressions reproduce both the corresponding results for the Kitaev model as a special case for $d={z}^{\ensuremath{'}}=2$ and $m=z=\ensuremath{\nu}=1$ and the well-known scaling laws of
n and
Q for isotropic critical points for $z={z}^{\ensuremath{'}}$. We also present an exact computation of all nonzero, independent, multispin correlation functions of the Kitaev model for such a quench and discuss their spatial dependence. For the disordered Kitaev model, where the disorder is introduced via random choice of the link variables
Dn in the model's fermionic representation, we find that $n\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\tau}}^{\ensuremath{-}1/2}$ and $Q\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\tau}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ $(Q\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\tau}}^{\ensuremath{-}1/2})$ for a slow linear quench ending in the gapless (gapped) phase. We provide a qualitative explanation of such scaling.
