Adiabatic Ground-State Properties of Spin Chains with Twisted Boundary Conditions

Abstract

We study the Heisenberg spin chain with twisted boundary conditions, focusing on the adiabatic flow of the energy spectrum as a function of the twist angle. In terms of effective field theory for the nearest-neighbor model, we show that the period 2 (in unit $2π$) obtained by Sutherland and Shastry arises from irrelevant perturbations around the massless fixed point, and that this period may be rather general for one-dimensional interacting lattice models at half filling. In contrast, the period for the Haldane-Shastry spin model with $1/r^2$ interaction has a different and unique origin for the period, namely, it reflects fractional statistics in Haldane's sense.

Exact Solution and Spectral Flow for Twisted Haldane-Shastry Model

Takahiro Fukui, Norio Kawakami

The exact solution of the spin chain model with $1/{r}^{2}$ exchange is found for twisted boundary conditions. The spectrum thus obtained can be reproduced by the asymptotic Bethe ansatz. The spectral flow of each eigenstate is determined exactly as a function of the twist angle. We find that the period $4\ensuremath{\pi}$ for the ground state nicely fits in with the notion of fractional exclusion statistics.

Twisted boundary conditions and the adiabatic ground state for the attractiveXXZLuttinger liquid

Naichang Yu, Michael Fowler

The one-dimensional attractive lattice fermion gas equivalent to the Heisenberg-Ising spin-1/2 chain is studied for a ring geometry threaded by magnetic flux. We find that for charged fermions having interaction strength \ensuremath{\Delta}=cos(\ensuremath{\pi}/p) with p noninteger, the adiabatic ground state is periodic in the magnetic flux threading the chain, with period two flux quanta, as found by Shastry and Sutherland for the repulsive case. We find that, at particular values of the threading field, a sequence of initially zero-energy bound states form at the Fermi surface during the adiabatic process, the largest containing [p] (the integer part of p) fermions. This largest bound state moves rapidly around to the other Fermi point where it sequentially unbinds. We find Berry's phase for the whole process to be [p]\ensuremath{\pi}. For p integer, as \ensuremath{\Phi} increases, eventually all the particles in the system go into bound states of size [p]. The period in this case is of order the size of the system. The charge-carrying mass of the fermions is calculated by finding the energy of the adiabatic ground state with twisted boundary conditions.

2002 Spectrum of a duality–twisted Ising quantum chain

Uwe Grimm

Abstract. The Ising quantum chain with a peculiar twisted boundary condition is considered. This boundary condition, first introduced in the framework of the spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg quantum chain, is related to the duality transformation, which becomes a symmetry of the model at the critical point. Thus, at the critical point, the Ising quantum chain with the duality-twisted boundary is translationally invariant, similar as in the case of the usual periodic or antiperiodic boundary conditions. The complete energy spectrum of the Ising quantum chain is calculated analytically for finite systems, and the conformal properties of the scaling limit are investigated. This provides an explicit example of a conformal twisted boundary condition and a corresponding generalised twisted partition function.

A novel class of translationally invariant spin chains with long-range interactions

B. Basu-Mallick, F. Finkel, A. González-López

Abstract We introduce a new class of open, translationally invariant spin chains with long-range interactions depending on both spin permutation and (polarized) spin reversal operators, which includes the Haldane-Shastry chain as a particular degenerate case. The new class is characterized by the fact that the Hamiltonian is invariant under “twisted” translations, combining an ordinary translation with a spin flip at one end of the chain. It includes a remarkable model with elliptic spin-spin interactions, smoothly interpolating between the XXX Heisenberg model with anti-periodic boundary conditions and a new open chain with sites uniformly spaced on a half-circle and interactions inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the spins. We are able to compute in closed form the partition function of the latter chain, thereby obtaining a complete description of its spectrum in terms of a pair of independent su(1|1) and su(m/2) motifs when the number m of internal degrees of freedom is even. This implies that the even m model is invariant under the direct sum of the Yangians Y (gl(1|1)) and Y (gl(0|m/2)). We also analyze several statistical properties of the new chain’s spectrum. In particular, we show that it is highly degenerate, which strongly suggests the existence of an underlying (twisted) Yangian symmetry also for odd m.

Spin chain with 1/r2 interactions

Yoshio Kuramoto, Yusuke S. Kato

In this chapter, we discuss the static and dynamic properties of the spin chain which is often referred to as the Haldane–Shastry model [77, 161]. In contrast with more familiar spin chains with the nearest-neighbor exchange interaction, the Haldane–Shastry model has a particular form of the longrange exchange interaction. In spite of its peculiar shape, it has turned out that the Haldane–Shastry model is the most fundamental one-dimensional spin system. We shall start with a discussion of how the model is solved for the ground state in Sections 4.1 to 4.3, and proceed to static correlation functions in Sections 4.4 and 4.5. The excitation spectrum is interpreted by magnons in Section 4.6, and by spinons in Section 4.7. The spinon picture gives the correct degeneracy of the energy levels in Section 4.8, and leads to the derivation of thermodynamics in Section 2.4, and the dynamical correlation function in Section 4.11. Most results have been obtained in an analytic form without any approximation. There is a close connection between the spectrum of the spin chain and that of the Sutherland model. The most remarkable fact is that the spin chain has a correspondence with two different values of the coupling parameter λ in the Sutherland model. Namely, the spectrum is mapped to the case with either λ = 2 or λ = ∞. In the latter case, particles crystallize with equal spacing, and a small oscillation from the equilibrium, as well as exchange interactions, make up the spectrum. In both cases of λ, however, the degeneracy of each level in the spin chain is not reproduced. Hence, the mapping as it stands cannot be used for thermodynamics.

Spectrum of a duality-twisted Ising quantum chain

The Ising quantum chain with a peculiar twisted boundary condition is considered. This boundary condition, first introduced in the framework of the spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg quantum chain, is related to the duality transformation, which becomes a symmetry of the model at the critical point. Thus, at the critical point, the Ising quantum chain with the duality-twisted boundary is translationally invariant, as in the case of the usual periodic or antiperiodic boundary conditions. The complete energy spectrum of the Ising quantum chain is calculated analytically for finite systems, and the conformal properties of the scaling limit are investigated.
