Random Dirac Fermions: The su(N) Gauge Potential and Z_N Twists

Published Dec 22, 2000• 1 citation

Abstract

We obtain the disorder averaged (critical) four-point correlation functions for N species of (two-dimensional Euclidean) Dirac fermions subject to a (Gaussian) random su(N) gauge field. The replica approach and the strong disorder approach yield identical results, as one might expect in the light of recent developments in the N=2 case [1]. We establish a connection with `dressed' Z_N twist fields in the c=-2 logarithmic conformal field theory (LCFT), thereby extending the recent connection to `dressed' Z_2 twists [1,2]. We draw attention to the fact that `dressed' Z_2 twist operators have previously appeared in the description of half flux-quantum quasiholes in the bulk excitations of the Haldane--Rezayi Quantum Hall state [3].

Disordered Dirac Fermions : Multifractality Termination and Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories

Jean-Sébastien Caux, Nobuhiko Taniguchi, A. M. Tsvelik

We reexamine in detail the problem of fermions interacting with a non-Abelian random vector potential. Without resorting to the replica or supersymmetry approaches, we show that in the limit of infinite disorder strength the theory possesses an exact solution which takes the form of a logarithmic conformal field theory. We show that the proper treatment of the locality conditions in the SU(2) theory leads to the termination of the multifractal spectrum, or in other words to the termination of the infinite hierarchies of negative-dimensional operators that were thought to occur. Based on arguments of logarithmic degeneracies, we conjecture that such a termination mechanism should be present for general SU(N). Moreover, our results lead to the conclusion that the previous replica solution of this problem yields incorrect results.

Exact Multifractality for Disordered N -Flavor Dirac Fermions in Two Dimensions

Jean-Sébastien Caux

We present a nonperturbative calculation of all multifractal scaling exponents at strong disorder for critical wave functions of Dirac fermions interacting with a non-Abelian random vector potential in two dimensions. The results, valid for an arbitrary number of fermionic flavors, are obtained by deriving from conformal field theory an effective Gaussian model for the wave function amplitudes and mapping it to the thermodynamics of a single particle in a random potential. Our spectrum confirms that the wave functions remain delocalized in the presence of strong disorder.

Termination of Multifractal behavior for Critical Disordered Dirac Fermions

Jean-Sébastien Caux, Nobuhiko Taniguchi, Alexei M. Tsvelik

We consider Dirac fermions interacting with a disordered non-Abelian vector potential. The exact solution is obtained through a special type of conformal field theory including logarithmic correlators, without resorting to the replica or supersymmetry approaches. It is shown that the proper treatment of the conformal theory leads to a different multifractal scaling behavior than initially expected. Moreover, the previous replica solution is found to be incorrect at the level of higher correlation functions.

A Free Field Representation of the Osp(2|2) current algebra at level k=-2, and Dirac Fermions in a random SU(2) gauge potential

Andreas W. W. Ludwig

The Osp(2|2) current algebra at level k=-2 is known to describe the IR fixed point of 2D Dirac fermions, subject to a random SU(2) gauge potential. We show that this theory has a simple free-field representation in terms of a compact, and a non-compact free scalar field, as well as a free fermionic ghost, at c=-2. The fermionic twist fields are crucial for the construction. The logarithmic current-algebra primary field with vanishing scaling dimension, transforming in an indecomposable representation, appears as a consequence of familiar logarithmic operators at c=-2.

Renormalization Group for disordered Dirac Fermions

André LeClair

We use the recently proposed all orders beta functions to study localization problems in two dimensions.A classification of random Dirac hamiltonians is presented.Beta functions for the Chalker-Coddington network model are presented and it is described how the renormalization group flows are toward a true singularity.The main subject of this talk is localization-delocalization transitions in two dimensions.This is a subject with many challenging and unsolved problems, the most important being finding a theoretical description of the critical properties of the quantum Hall transition.The Chalker-Coddington network model is perhaps the simplest model believed to be in the universality class of the quantum Hall transition [1].It can be formulated as a theory of random Dirac fermions, and it is believed that the disorder averaged effective theory should possess an infra-red fixed point conformal field theory capable of predicting the critical exponents governing the transition, e.g. the delocalization length exponent[2, 3].I will describe an attempt at finding the expected fixed point based on a proposed all orders beta function [5,6].The all-orders beta functions for the network models are based on general formulas found in [4].These beta-functions generally describe current-current interactions in two dimensions.Though they remain conjectural, several strong checks of the formula were performed for the simplest su(2) case in [7].As I will describe, for reasons that are not understood at the time, but appear to be specific to the application of the general theory to disordered systems, the renormalizaton group flows toward a true singularity, and thus we did not find the expected fixed point.The plan of the talk is as follows.I will first describe a classification of Random Dirac Fermions in 2d.In the next section I explain how supersymmetric Effective Actions are obtained upon disorder averaging.These generally involve current-current interactions and in the next section I describe the renormalization group (RG) for general interactions of this kind.Using arguments independent of the detailed beta functions, I then propose a connection between the possible fixed points and the Virasoro Master equation.In the last sections these methods are applied to the network models for the quantum Hall transtions.Unfortuanately, as I will describe, the all orders beta functions that appear to be correct for su(2) predict flows toward true singularities in the disordered problems.

The Haldane-Rezayi Quantum Hall State and Conformal Field Theory

Victor Gurarie, Michael Flohr, Chetan Nayak

We propose field theories for the bulk and edge of a quantum Hall state in the universality class of the Haldane-Rezayi wavefunction. The bulk theory is associated with the c = −2 conformal field theory. The topological properties of the state, such as the quasiparticle braiding statistics and ground state degeneracy on a torus, may be deduced from this conformal field theory. The 10-fold degeneracy on a torus is explained by the existence of a logarithmic operator in the c = −2 theory; this operator corresponds to a novel bulk excitation in the quantum Hall state. We argue that the edge theory is the c = 1 chiral Dirac fermion, which is related in a simple way to the c = −2 theory of the bulk. This theory is reformulated as a truncated version of a
