Abstract

We introduce an operator algebra for the description of the low-energy physics of one-dimensional, integrable, multicomponent quantum liquids. Considering the particular case of the Hubbard chain in a magnetic field and chemical potential, we show that at low energy its Bethe-ansatz solution can be interpreted in terms of a pseudoparticle-operator algebra. Our algebraic approach provides a concise interpretation of, and justification for, several recent studies of low-energy excitations and trasnport which have been based on detailed analyses of specific Bethe-ansatz eigenfunctions and eigenenergies. A central point is that the exact ground state of the interacting many-electron problem is the noninteracting pseudoparticle ground state. Furthermore, in the pseudoparticle basis, the quantum problem becomes perturbative, i.e., the two-pseudoparticle forward-scattering vertices and amplitudes do not diverge, and one can define a many-pseudoparticle perturbation theory. We write the general quantum-liquid Hamiltonian in the pseudoparticle basis and show that the pseudoparticle-perturbation theory leads, in a natural way, to the generalized Landau-liquid approach.

Ground states of integrable quantum liquids

J. M. P. Carmelo, Nuno M. R. Peres

Based on a recently introduced operator algebra for the description of a class of integrable quantum liquids we define the ground states for all canonical ensembles of these systems. We consider the particular case of the Hubbard chain in a magnetic field and chemical potential. The ground states of all canonical ensembles of the model can be generated by acting on the electron vacuum (densities n1) or hole vacuum (densities n>1), with suitable pseudoparticle creation operators. We also evaluate the energy gaps of the non-lowest-weight states and non-highest-weight states of the \ensuremath{\eta} spin and spin algebras relative to the corresponding ground states. For all sectors of parameter space and symmetries the exact ground state of the many-electron problem is in the pseudoparticle basis the noninteracting pseudoparticle ground state. This plays a central role in the pseudoparticle perturbation theory.

Perturbation theory of low-dimensional quantum liquids. II. Operator description of Virasoro algebras in integrable systems

J. M. P. Carmelo, A. H. Castro Neto, David K Campbell

We show that the recently developed pseudoparticle-operator algebra which generates the low-energy Hamiltonian eigenstates of multicomponent integrable systems with contact interactions also provides a natural operator representation for the Virasoro algebras associated with the conformal-invariant character of the low-energy spectrum of these models. Studying explicitly the Hubbard chain in a nonzero chemical potential and external magnetic field, we establish that the pseudoparticle-perturbation theory provides a correct starting point for the construction of a suitable critical-point Hamiltonian. We derive explicit expressions in terms of pseudoparticle operators for the generators of the Virasoro algebras and the energy-momentum tensor, describe the conformal-invariant character of the critical point from the point of view of the response to curvature of the two-dimensional space time, and discuss the relation to Kac-Moody algebras and dynamical separation.

Complete pseudohole and heavy-pseudoparticle operator representation for the Hubbard chain

J. M. P. Carmelo, Nuno M. R. Peres

We introduce the pseudohole and heavy-pseudoparticle operator algebra that generates all Hubbard-chain eigenstates from a single reference vacuum. In addition to the pseudoholes already introduced for the description of the low-energy physics, this involves the heavy pseudoparticles associated with Hamiltonian eigenstates whose energy spectrum has a gap relative to the many-electron ground state. We introduce a generalized pseudoparticle perturbation theory that describes the relevant finite-energy ground-state transitions. In the present basis these excitations refer to a small density of excited pseudoparticles. Our operator basis goes beyond the Bethe-ansatz solution and it is the suitable and correct starting point for the study of the finite-frequency properties, which are of great relevance for the understanding of the unusual spectral properties detected in low-dimensional novel materials.

Pseudoparticle-operator description of an interacting bosonic gas

A. H. Castro Neto, H. Q. Lin, Y.-H. Chen +1 more

We write the Hamiltonian of the Bose gas with two-body repulsive \ensuremath{\delta}-function potential in a pseudoparticle-operator basis which diagonalizes the problem via the Bethe ansatz. In this operator basis the original bosonic interactions are represented by zero-momentum forward-scattering interactions between Landau-liquid pseudoparticles. We find that this pseudoparticle-operator algebra is complete: all the Hamiltonian eigenstates are generated by acting pseudoparticle operators on the system vacuum. It is shown that one boson of vanishing momentum and energy is a composite of a one-pseudoparticle excitation and a collective pseudoparticle excitation. These excitations have finite opposite momenta and cannot be decomposed. Our formalism enables us to calculate the various quantities that characterize the static and dynamic behavior of the system at low energies.

Two-particle fluctuations in one-dimensional generalized Landau liquids

J. M. P. Carmelo, Peter Horsch, Alexander A. Ovchinnikov

We use the Landau-liquid character of the low-energy eigenstate spectrum of the Hubbard chain in a magnetic field to investigate its two-particle spectral properties. The picture that emerges is that of a gas of two coupled fluids of pseudoparticles. The kinetic equations that govern the flow of pseudoparticles are derived. The macroscopic currents are expressed in terms of the elementary pseudoparticle currents. As a central result we evaluate in the limit of zero momentum the wave function for the electronic excitations obtained by applying the up-spin and down-spin density-fluctuation operators on the ground state. This wave function is calculated on the basis of the pseudoparticle single-pair eigenstates. It is defined by the microscopic two-particle matrix elements of the corresponding fluctuations taken between the ground state and the elementary excitations. The on-site interaction U, electronic density n, and magnetic field H dependence of these matrix elements, which play a major role in the two-particle spectral functions, provide relevant information on the microscopic foundation of the one-dimensional Landau-liquid theory. This leads to the introduction of an adiabatic continuity principle, which is valid in the Hilbert subspace of the pseudoparticle single-pair eigenstates of lowest energy and momentum. The non-Landau-liquid character of the zero-magnetic-field L\"uttinger phase, where such an adiabatic continuity principle is not valid, is explained.Exact expressions for the two-pseudoparticle forward-scattering amplitudes and for the charge-charge and spin-spin correlation functions at small momentum and low frequency are obtained. The dependence of the charge and spin stiffnesses of the conductivity spectra on U, n, and H, which is determined by the pseudoparticle transport masses, is investigated in detail. The study of these masses and of the effective charge and spin projection of the pseudoparticles gives information on their structure in the electronic representation. It is shown that the decoupling that characterizes the low-energy excitation spectrum does not correspond in the case of finite magnetic fields to a real charge-spin separation. Our results provide a method for the study of the low-frequency dynamics of interacting systems solvable with the Bethe ansatz, and we identify the spectral parameters that control the nonclassical critical exponents with microscopic two-electron matrix elements.

Conservation laws and bosonization in integrable Luttinger liquids

J. M. P. Carmelo, A. H. Castro Neto, David K Campbell

We examine and explain the Luttinger-liquid character of models solvable by the Bethe ansatz by introducing a suitable bosonic operator algebra. In the case of the Hubbard chain, this involves two bosonic algebras which apply to all values of U, electronic density, and magnetization. Only at zero magnetization does not lead to the usual charge-spin separation. We show that our ``pseudoparticle'' operator approach clarifies, unifies, and extends several recent results, including the existence of independent right and left equations of motion and the concept of ``pseudoparticle'' (also known as ``Bethe quasiparticle'').
