Abstract

We construct and study a class of N particle supersymmetric Hamiltonians with nearest and next-nearest neighbor inverse-square interaction in one dimension. We show that inhomogeneous XY models in an external non-uniform magnetic field can be obtained from these super-Hamiltonians in a particular limit decoupling the fermionic degrees of freedom from the kinematic ones. We further consider a suitable deformation of these super-models such that inhomogeneous XXZ Hamiltonians in an external non-uniform magnetic field are obtained in the same limit. We show that this deformed Hamiltonian with rational potential is, (i) mapped to a set of free super-oscillators through a similarity transformation and (ii) supersymmetric in terms of a new, non-standard realization of the supercharge. We construct many exact eigenstates of this Hamiltonian and discuss about the applicability of this technique to other models.

Free fermions in disguise

Paul Fendley

Abstract I solve a quantum chain whose Hamiltonian is comprised solely of local four-fermi operators by constructing free-fermion raising and lowering operators. The free-fermion operators are both non-local and highly non-linear in the local fermions. This construction yields the complete spectrum of the Hamiltonian and an associated classical transfer matrix. The spatially uniform system is gapless with dynamical critical exponent z = 3/2, while staggering the couplings gives a more conventional free-fermion model with an Ising transition. The Hamiltonian is equivalent to that of a spin-1/2 chain with next-nearest-neighbour interactions, and has a supersymmetry generated by a sum of fermion trilinears. The supercharges are part of a large non-abelian symmetry algebra that results in exponentially large degeneracies. The model is integrable for either open or periodic boundary conditions but the free-fermion construction only works for the former, while for the latter the extended symmetry is broken and the degeneracies split.

Long-Range Deformations for Integrable Spin Chains

Till Bargheer, Niklas Beisert, Florian Loebbert

We present a recursion relation for the explicit construction of integrable spin chain Hamiltonians with long-range interactions. Based on arbitrary short-range (e.g. nearest-neighbor) integrable spin chains, it allows to construct an infinite set of conserved long-range charges. We explain the moduli space of deformation parameters by different classes of generating operators. The rapidity map and dressing phase in the long-range Bethe equations are a result of these deformations. The closed chain asymptotic Bethe equations for long-range spin chains transforming under a generic symmetry algebra are derived. Notably, our construction applies to generalizations of standard nearest-neighbor chains such as alternating spin chains. We also discuss relevant properties for its application to planar D=4, N=4 and D=3, N=6 supersymmetric gauge theories. Finally, we present a map between long-range and inhomogeneous spin chains delivering more insight into the structures of these models as well as their limitations at wrapping order.

New family of solvable 1D Heisenberg models

H Frahm, V I Inozemtsev

Starting from a Calogero-Sutherland model with the hyperbolic interaction confined by an external field with Morse potential, we construct a Heisenberg spin chain with exchange interaction varies as 1/sinh 2 x on a lattice given in terms of the zeros of Laguerre polynomials. Varying the strength of the Morse potential, the Haldane-Shastry and harmonic spin chains are reproduced. The spectrum of the models in this class is found to be that of a classical one-dimensional Ising chain with non-uniform nearest-neighbour coupling in a non-uniform magnetic field which allows us to study the thermodynamics in the limit of infinite chains.

Spinon excitations in the spin-1 XXZ chain and hidden supersymmetry

Chihiro Matsui

We study spinon excitations of the integrable spin-1 (Fateev–Zamolodchikov; FZ) chain and their relation to the hidden supersymmetry. Using the notion of the supercharges earlier introduced to the spin chains, which change the system length by one, we found that they nontrivially act on one of two kinds of the degrees of freedom for the FZ chain. Their actions were obtained to be the same as those of the supercharges defined on the supersymmetric sine-Gordon model, the low-energy effective field theory of the FZ chain. Moreover, we construct the eigenstates which are invariant under the supersymmetric Hamiltonian given as the anti-commutator of the supercharges.

1 A Note on Inverse-Square Exchange Models

Frank Göhmann, Miki Wadati

The su(1|1) symmetric version of the Haldane-Shastry spin chain is diagonalized by means of a linear transformation. The same transformation applied to the original su(2) model yields simple expressions for the Hamiltonian and the generators of the Yangian symmetry of the model in terms of spin wave operators. Several years ago Haldane and Shastry independently discovered a soluble spin chain with exchange interaction falling off as the inverse square of the distance between the spins [1, 2]. This model can be thought of as the static limit [3] of the Sutherland model with internal degrees of freedom [4, 5, 6]. The idea of putting internal degrees of freedom into the Calogero-Sutherland models has proved to be very fruitful since then. A rich family of related models has been found. These long range interacting systems are under active investigation now. A common algebraic structure underlying their integrability is still waiting for its discovery. In this letter we discuss a linear transformation, that turns the su(m|n) supersymmetric extension of the original Haldane-Shastry Hamiltonian into a more compact form,
