Higher Symmetries in Condensed Matter Physics

Abstract

We discuss some applications of higher symmetry groups to condensed matter systems. We give special attention to the groups SO(n) (n = 4, 5, 6, 8) in the two-dimensional Hubbard model and its generalizations, which model the high T_c cuprate superconductors.

Quantum Groups, Strings and HTSC materials II

Sher Alam, M. O. Rahman, Takashi Yanagisawa +1 more

Previously we have indicated the relationship between quantum groups [Phys. Lett A272, (2000)] and strings via WZWN models in the context of applications to cuprates and related materials.The connection between quantum groups and strings is one way of seeing the validity of our previous conjecture [i.e. that a theory for cuprates may be constructed on the basis of quantum groups]. The cuprates seems to exhibit statistics, dimensionality and phase transitions in novel ways. The nature of excitations [i.e. quasiparticle or collective] must be understood. The Hubbard model captures some of the behaviour of the phase transitions in these materials. On the other hand the phases such as stripes in these materials bear relationship to quantum group or string-like solutions. One thus expects that the relevant solutions of Hubbard model may thus be written in terms of stringy solutions. In short this approach may lead to the non-perturbative formualtion of Hubbard and other condensed matter Hamiltonians. The question arises that how a 1-d based symmetry such as quantum groups can be relevant in describing a 3-d [spatial dimensions] system such as cuprates. The answer lies in the key observation that strings which are 1-d objects can be used to describe physics in $d$ dimensions. For example gravity [which is a 3-d [spatial] plus time] phenomenon can be understood in terms of 1-d strings. Thus we expect that 1-d quantum group object induces physics in 2-d and 3-d which may be relevant to the cuprates. We present support for our contention using [numerical] variational Monte-Carlo [MC] applied to 2d d-p model. We also briefly discuss others ways to formulate a string picture for cuprates, namely by exploiting connection between gauge theories and strings and t'Hooft picture of quark confinement.

Physics of symmetry protected topological phases involving higher symmetries and its applications

Chao‐Ming Jian, Xiao-Chuan Wu, Yichen Xu +1 more

We discuss physical constructions and the boundary properties of various symmetry-protected topological phases that involve 1-form symmetries from one spatial dimension to four spatial dimensions ($4d$). For example, the prototype three-dimensional ($3d$) boundary state of $4d$ SPT states involving 1-form symmetries can be either a gapless photon phase (quantum electrodynamics) or gapped topological order enriched by 1-form symmetries; that is, the loop excitations of these topological orders carry nontrivial 1-form symmetry charges. This study also serves the purpose of diagnosing anomalies of $3d$ states of matter. Connection between SPT states with 1-form symmetries and condensed-matter systems such as quantum dimer models at one lower dimension will also be discussed. Whether a quantum dimer model can have a trivial gapped phase depends on the nature of its corresponding bulk state in one higher dimension.

On quantum groups in the Hubbard model with phonons

Bianca Letizia Cerchiai, Peter Schupp

The correct Hamiltonian for an extended Hubbard model with quantum group symmetry as introduced by Montorsi and Rasetti is derived for a D-dimensional lattice. It is shown that the superconducting holds as a true quantum symmetry only for D = 1 and that terms of higher order in the fermionic operators are needed in addition to phonons. A discussion of quantum symmetries in general is given in a formalism that should be readily accessible to non-Hopf algebraists.

Highly Correlated Particle Systems and Composite Operator Method

Hideki Matsumoto

Since the discovery of high Tc superconductors in cuprate oxides, physics of highly correlated electron systems has become one of the central issues in condensed matter physics. We can find many examples of highly correlated particle systems not only in electron systems, such as high Tc superconductors and transition metal oxides, but also in bosonic systems, such as alkaline atomic gases in an optical lattice and mesoscopic Josephson junction arrays. In this lecture, we illustrate several models of highly correlated particle systems of fermionic and bosonic systems, and clarify common features of these systems. Then theoretical approaches to analyze these systems will be reviewed; special emphasis is on the composite operator method, which has been developed by the present author and the Salerno group.

VARIOUS CONDENSED MATTER HAMILTONIANS IN TERMS OF U(2/2) OPERATORS AND THEIR SYMMETRY STRUCTURES

Ko Okumura

We rewrite various lattice Hamiltonians in condensed matter physics in terms of U(2/2) operators that we introduce. In this representation the symmetry structure of the models becomes clear. Especially, the Heisenberg, the supersymmetric t-J and a newly proposed high-T c superconducting Hamiltonian reduce to the same form [Formula: see text]. This representation also gives us a systematic way of searching for the symmetries of the system.
