Abstract

We have obtained all the density matrix elements on six lattice sites for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain via the algebraic method based on the quantum Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations. Several interesting correlation functions, such as chiral correlation functions, dimer–dimer correlation functions, etc, have been analytically evaluated. Furthermore, we have calculated all the eigenvalues of the density matrix and analyse the eigenvalue distribution. As a result, the exact von Neumann entropy for the reduced density matrix on six lattice sites has been obtained.

Density matrix elements and entanglement entropy for the spin-1/2 XXZ chain at Δ = 1/2

Jun Sato, Masahiro Shiroishi

We have analytically obtained all the density matrix elements up to six lattice sites for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ chain at Δ = 1/2. We use the multiple integral formula of the correlation function for the massless XXZ chain derived by Jimbo and Miwa. As for the spin–spin correlation functions, we have newly obtained the fourth- and fifth-neighbour transverse correlation functions. We have calculated all the eigenvalues of the density matrix and analyse the eigenvalue distribution. Using these results the exact values of the entanglement entropy for the reduced density matrix up to six lattice sites have been obtained. We observe that our exact results agree quite well with the asymptotic formula predicted by the conformal field theory.

On the calculation of the correlation functions of the s l 3 -model by means of the reduced qKZ equation

Herman E. Boos, Arthur Hutsalyuk, Khazret S. Nirov

Abstract We study the reduced density matrix of the -invariant fundamental exchange model by means of a novel reduced quantum Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equation. This gives us insight into the algebraic structure and explicit results for correlation functions in the infinite chain ranging over up to three sites.

Correlation functions of integrable O(n) spin chains

G A P Ribeiro

We study the correlation functions of the integrable O(n) spin chain in the thermodynamic limit. We addressed the problem of solving functional equations of the quantum Knizhnik Zamolodchikov type for density matrix related to the O(n) spin chain. We give the explicit solution for two-sites density matrix elements for the O(n) which are then evaluated for the n=3,4,…,8 cases at zero temperature.

Exact Calculation of Correlation Functions for Spin-1/2 Heisenberg Chain

Masahiro Shiroishi, Minoru Takahashi

We review the recent progresses of the exact calculation of the correlation functions for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXX chain as well as the anisotropic XXZ chain. The spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain is exactly solvable by Bethe ansatz. Nevertheless the exact calculation of the correlation functions is still a very difficult problem in general. However, the recent theoretical developments have enabled us to derive the explicit analytical forms of some correlation functions in short range. For example, polynomial representations in terms of the one-dimensional integrals are obtained for the correlation functions of the XXZ chain up to four lattice sites. For the special case of the XXX chain, the correlation functions are further calculated up to five lattice sites.

Correlation functions of the six-vertex IRF model and its quantum spin chain

Thiago Silva Tavares, G A P Ribeiro

We consider the interaction-round-a-face version of the isotropic six-vertex model. The associated spin chain is made of two coupled Heisenberg spin chains with different boundary twists. The phase diagram of the model and the long distance correlations were studied in Tavares and Ribeiro (2023) [43] . Here, we compute the short-distance correlation functions of the model in the ground state for finite system sizes via non-linear integral equations and in the thermodynamic limit. This was possible since the model satisfies the face version of the discrete quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (qKZ) equation. A suitable ansatz for the density matrix is proposed in the form of a direct sum of two Heisenberg density matrices, which allows us to obtain the discrete functional equation for the two-site function ω ( λ 1 , λ 2 ) . Thanks to the known results on the factorization of correlation functions of the Heisenberg chain, we are able to compute the density matrix of the IRF model for up to four sites and its associated spin chain for up to three sites.
