Functional Integration with "Automorphic" Boundary Conditions and Correlators of Z-Components of Spins in the XY and XX Heisenberg Chains

Cyril Leonidovich Malyshev

Representations for the generating functionals of static correlators of $z$ -components of spins in the XY and $XX$ Heisenberg spin chains are obtained in the form of sums of the fermionic functional integrals. The peculiarity of the functional integrals in question is because of the fact that the integration variables depend on the imaginary time ``automorphically''. In other words, the integration variables are multiplied with a certain complex number when the imaginary time is shifted by a period. Therefore, the corresponding boundary conditions at the ends of the imaginary time segment are not of the form corresponding to fermionic, or bosonic, variables taken in the Matsubara representation at nonzero temperature. In fact, one part of sites of the models corresponds to the integration variables which are subjected to the unusual boundary conditions, while the variables on the other sites depend on the imaginary time conventionally, i.e., as fermions (or bosons). Thus a situation, when an ``automorphic'' boundary condition is the same for all sites of a chain spin model, is generalized. The results of the functional integration are obtained in the form of determinants of the matrix operators which are regularized by means of the generalized zeta-function approach. The partition functions of the models and certain correlation functions at nonzero temperature are obtained explicitly thus demonstrating correctness of the functional integral representations proposed.Representations for the generating functionals of static correlators of $z$-components of spins in the XY and $XX$ Heisenberg spin chains are obtained in the form of sums of the fermionic functional integrals.

Fifth-neighbour spin–spin correlator for the anti-ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain

Jun Sato, Masahiro Shiroishi

We study the generating function of the spin–spin correlation functions in the ground state of the anti-ferromagnetic spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain without magnetic field. We have found its fundamental functional relations from those for general correlation functions, which originate in the quantum Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equation. Using these relations, we have calculated the explicit form of the generating functions up to n = 6. Accordingly we can obtain the spin–spin correlator ⟨ S z j S z j + k ⟩ up to k = 5.We study the generating function of the spin–spin correlation functions in the ground state of the anti-ferromagnetic spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain without magnetic field.
