Abstract

We consider the $U_q[SU(2)]$ symmetric Heisenberg chain when $q=e^{iπ/(m+1)}$ and $m$ is integer. We consider the cases $m=3$ and $m=5$ which correspond to the Ising and 3-state Potts models. We study the finite size scaling (FSS) of the ground states in different quantum spin sectors and restricting to highest weights of type-II representations. We compute the levels by a diagrammatic technique which needs only the commutation relations of the underlying Temperley-Lieb algebra. The results match the FSS predictions which hold for the Bethe levels. (2 PostScript figures (or the corresponding tables) available from the author)

Numerical investigation of correlation functions for the UqSU(2) invariant spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain

P F Arndt, T Heinzel

We consider the U q SU(2) invariant spin-1/2 XXZ quantum spin chain at the roots of unity q=exp(i pi /(m+1)), corresponding to different minimal models of conformal field theory. We conduct a numerical investigation of the correlation functions of U q SU(2) scalar two-point operators in order to find which operators in the minimal models they correspond to. Using graphical representations of the Temperley-Lieb algebra we are able to deal with chains of up to 28 sites. Depending on q, the correlation functions show different characteristics and finite-size behaviour. For m=2/3, which corresponds to the Lee-Yang edge singularity, we find the surface and bulk critical exponent -1/5. Together with the known result in the case m=3 (Ising model) this indicates that in the continuum limit the two-point operators involve conformal fields of spin-m-1/m+1. For other roots of unity q the chains are too short to determine the surface and bulk critical exponents.

Uq[SU(2)]-Invariant Spin Chains, Related Algebras and Finite-Size Corrections

Murray T. Batchelor

Exact results are derived, via the Temperley-Lieb-Jones algebra, for the ground state energy per site, surface energy, gap and central charge of the anisotropic generalization of the spin-1 biquadratic model.A recently observed simplification in the ground state energy of the U.[SU(2)]-invariant Zamolodchikov-Fateev model at q=e'x 14 is shown to be a direct consequence of a trivial representation of the related operator algebra.Similar points are conjectured to exist in the more general u.[SU(2)]-invariant spin-S chains at q=e 1 " 1 < 2 + 25 '.§ 1.

Algebraic Structure of Finite-Size Bethe Solutions in the Heisenberg Chain

Oliver R. Bellwood, William J. Munro

The spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain is the canonical example of an integrable quantum many-body model. Despite its exact solvability, explicit finite-size solutions are typically only accessible via numerical evaluation of the Bethe ansatz equations. Here, we analyse the algebraic structure of the exact, symbolic ground states for chains up to twelve sites using the Bethe ansatz. We find that the algebraic degree of the ground state magnon phases and Bethe roots scale with respect to system size at a different rate to the ground-state energy and wavefunction coefficients. The ground-state Bethe roots and energy are found to become Galois unsolvable for ten or more sites, thus demonstrating the lack of a symbolic analytical solution in a quantum integrable model due to algebraic complexity.

Finite-size corrections for ground states of the XXZ Heisenberg chain

Chris J. Hamer

The method of de Vega and Woynarovitch (1985) is used to calculate finite-size corrections to the ground-state energy in different sectors for the XXZ Heisenberg chain. Finite-size scaling amplitudes and correction-to-scaling exponents in the critical region are derived. Using conformal invariance, a scaling dimension x=( pi - gamma )/2 pi is extracted corresponding to the electric field operator in the 8-vertex model: this confirms a conjecture of Baxter and Kelland (1974). Finite-size scaling properties near the Kosterlitz-Thouless critical point Delta =-1 are discussed.

Finite-size corrections for spin-S Heisenberg chains and conformal properties

B -D Dorfel

The author compares recent results on finite-size corrections for the isotropic (XXX) Heisenberg chain (and its integrable generalisations) with former numerical and analytic calculations. For the ground state and its lowest excitations, leading and non-leading terms are considered. The analysis confirms the predictions of conformal invariance and sheds some new light on the fine structure of finite-size corrections.
