QUASI-PARTICLES IN THE CHIRAL POTTS MODEL

RINAT KEDEM, Barry M. McCoy

arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

We study the quasi-particle spectrum of the integrable three-state chiral Potts chain in the massive phase by combining a numerical study of the zeros of associated transfer matrix eigenvalues with the exact results of the ferromagnetic three-state Potts chain and the three-state superintegrable chiral Potts model. We find that the spectrum is described in terms of quasi-particles with momenta restricted only to segments of the Brillouin zone 0≤P≤2π where the boundaries of the segments depend on the chiral angles of the model.

Giuseppe Albertini, Barry M. McCoy, Jacques H. H. Perk

<!-- *** Custom HTML *** --> We compute the eigenvalues of the 3-state superintegrable chiral Potts model and of the associated spin chain by use of a functional equation. We find that the system has four phases, two of which are massless and two of which are massive.

Physics beyond quasi-particles: Spectrum and completeness of the 3 state superintegrable chiral Potts model

Srinandan Dasmahapatra, Rinat Kedem, Barry M. McCoy

We find the rules which count the energy levels of the 3 state superintegrable chiral Potts model and demonstrate that these rules are complete. We then derive the complete spectrum of excitations in the thermodynamic limit in the massive phase and demonstrate the existence of excitations which do not have a quasi-particle form. The physics of these excitations is compared with the BCS superconductivity spectrum and the counting rules are compared with the closely related $S=1$ XXZ spin chain.

Phase diagram and two-particle structure of the $Z_3$-chiral Potts model

G von Gehlen

We calculate the low-lying part of the spectrum of the $Z_3$-symmetrical chiral Potts quantum chain in its self-dual and integrable versions, using numerical diagonalisation of the hamiltonian for $N \leq 12$ sites and extrapolation $N \ra \infty$. From the sequences of levels crossing we show that the massive phases have oscillatory correlation functions. We calculate the wave vector scaling exponent. In the high-temperature massive phase the pattern of the low-lying levels can be explained assuming the existence of two particles, with $Z_3$-charge $Q\!=\!1$ and $Q\!=\!2$, and their scattering states. In the superintegrable case the $Q\!=\!2$-particle has twice the mass of the $Q\!=\!1$-particle. Exponential convergence in $N$ is observed for the single particle gaps, while power convergence is seen for the scattering levels. In the high temperature limit of the self-dual model the parity violation in the particle dispersion relation is equivalent to the presence of a macroscopic momentum $P_m = \pm \vph/3$, where $\vph$ is the chiral angle.

Multi-particle structure in the Zn-chiral Potts models

G von Gehlen, A. Honecker

The authors calculate the lowest translationally invariant levels of the Z 3 - and Z 4 -symmetrical chiral Potts quantum chains, using numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian for N<or=12 and N<or=10 sites, respectively, and extrapolating n to infinity . In the high-temperature massive phase they find that the pattern of the low-lying zero momentum levels can be explained assuming the existence of n-1 particles carrying Z n charges Q=1, . . ., n-1 (mass m Q ), and their scattering states. In the superintegrable case the masses of the n-1 particles become proportional to their respective charges: m Q =Qm 1 . Exponential convergence in N is observed for the single-particle gaps, while power convergence is seen for the scattering levels. They also verify that qualitatively the same pattern appears for the self-dual and integrable cases. For general Z n they show that the energy-momentum relations of the particles show a parity nonconservation asymmetry which for very high temperatures is exclusive due to the presence of a macroscopic momentum P m =(1-2Q/n) phi , where phi is the chiral angle and Q is the Z n charge of the respective particle.

CHIRAL POTTS MODEL AS A DESCENDANT OF THE SIX-VERTEX MODEL

Vladimir V. Bazhanov, Yu. G. Stroganov

We observe that theN-state integrable chiral Potts model can be considered as a part of some new algebraic structure related to the six-vertex model. As a result, we obtain a functional equation which is supposed to determine all the eigenvalues of the chiral Potts model transfer matrix.

Exponential convergence in NNN is observed for the single particle gaps, while power convergence is seen for the scattering levels.
