Quantum integrability of bosonic massive Thirring model in continuum

Abstract

By using a variant of the quantum inverse scattering method, commutation relations between all elements of the quantum monodromy matrix of the bosonic massive Thirring (BMT) model are obtained. Using those relations, the quantum integrability of BMT model is established and the S-matrix of two-body scattering between the corresponding quasiparticles has been obtained. It is observed that for some special values of the coupling constant, there exists an upper bound on the number of quasiparticles that can form a quantum-soliton state of the BMT model. We also calculate the binding energy for a N-soliton state of the quantum BMT model.

Quantum inverse scattering method for a nonlinear N-wave resonance interaction system

Huan-Qiang Zhou, Lin-Jie Jiang

The quantum inverse scattering method is used for the study of a nonlinear N-wave resonance interaction system. The Yang–Baxter relations are solved to get various commutation relations for the scattering data operators. The energy spectrum of the quantum Hamiltonian for the model is determined and the existence of the quantum bound states is analyzed. In the classical limit, the corresponding r matrix is found, and the well-established correspondence between the classical solitons and the quantum bound states is examined. Finally, the integrability of the same model but with both fermion fields and boson fields is discussed.

Exact integrability in quantum field theory and statistical systems

H. B. Thacker

The properties of exactly integrable two-dimensional quantum systems are reviewed and discussed. The nature of exact integrability as a physical phenomenon and various aspects of the mathematical formalism are explored by discussing several examples, including detailed treatments of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger (delta-function gas) model, the massive Thirring model, and the six-vertex (ice) model. The diagonalization of a Hamiltonian by Bethe's Ansatz is illustrated for the nonlinear Schr\"od\'{\i}nger model, and the integral equation method of Lieb for obtaining the spectrum of the many-body system from periodic boundary conditions is reviewed. Similar methods are applied to the massive Thirring model, where the fermion-antifermion and bound-state spectrum are obtained explicitly by the integral equation method. After a brief review of the classical inverse scattering method, the quantum inverse method for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger model is introduced and shown to be an algebraization of the Bethe Ansatz technique. In the quantum inverse method, an auxiliary linear problem is used to define nonlocal operators which are functionals of the original local field on a fixed-time string of arbitrary length. The particular operators for which the string is infinitely long (free boundary conditions) or forms a closed loop around a cylinder (periodic boundary conditions) correspond to the quantized scattering data and have a special significance. One of them creates the Bethe eigenstates, while the other is the generating function for an infinite number of conservation laws. The analogous operators on a lattice are constructed for the symmetric six-vertex model, where the object which corresponds to a solution of the auxiliary linear problem is a string of vertices contracted over horizontal links (arrows). The relationship between the quantum inverse method and the transfer matrix formalism is exhibited. The inverse Gel'fand-Levitan transform which expresses the local field operator as a functional of the quantized scattering data is formulated for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, and some interesting properties of this transformation are noted, including its reduction to a Jordan-Wigner transformation in the limit of infinitely repulsive coupling.

Quantum inverse scattering method for multicomponent non-linear Schrodinger model of bosons or fermions with repulsive coupling

Fu‐Cho Pu, Yi-Zhong Wu, Bao‐Heng Zhao

The generalisation of the quantum inverse scattering method to the study of direct and inverse problems for the multicomponent non-linear Schrodinger model of bosons or fermions with repulsive coupling is made. Two sets of Yang-Baxter equations are solved to obtain commutation relations between the scattering state operators. The eigenfunctions have been constructed for the infinite number of conserved quantities and the eigenvalues of the first three conserved quantities-number of particles, momentum and energy-are obtained. The global Izergin-Korepin relations and the relations between the quantum Jost functions are derived, and from them, the quantum Gel'fand-Levitan equations are established. Finally, the series expansion for the field operators in terms of the scattering state operators is written out explicitly.

Bound states of 1+1 dimensional field theories

Takehisa Fujita, Makoto Hiramoto, Hidenori Takahashi

We discuss the bound states of the massive Thirring model. Here, the periodic boundary condition equations for the Bethe ansatz solutions are numerically solved. It is found that the massive Thirring model has only one bound state and the bound state spectrum as the function of the coupling constant agrees with that of infinite momentum frame prescription by Fujita and Ogura. Boson boson states (2p$-$2h states) appear only as the continuum spectrum without making any bound states. Further, the finite size correction to the vacuum energy is estimated. The evaluated central charge is found to be close to unity.
