Some Simple (Integrable) Models of Fractional Statistics

Denis Bernard

Published Nov 2, 1994• 3 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

In the first part, we introduce the notion of fractional statistics in the sense of Haldane. We illustrate it on simple models related to anyon physics and to integrable models solvable by the Bethe ansatz. In the second part, we describe the properties of the long-range interacting spin chains. We describe its infinite dimensional symmetry, and we explain how the fractional statistics of its elementary excitations is an echo of this symmetry. In the third part, we review recent results on the Yangian representation theory which emerged from the study of the integrable long-range interacting models.

A Note on Statistical Interactions and the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz

Denis Bernard, Yong-Shi Wu

We show that the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations for one-dimensional integrable many-body systems can be reinterpreted in such a way that they only code the statistical interactions, in the sense of Haldane, between particles of identical or different momenta. Thus, the thermodynamic properties of these systems can be characterized by the generalized ideal gases recently proposed by one of us. For example, the Yang-Yang $δ$-function gas is a gas with specific statistical interactions between particles of different momenta, while the Calogero-Sutherland system provides a model for an ideal gas of particles with a fractional statistics.

New developments of integrable systems and long-ranged interaction models, Nankai Institute of Mathematics, China, 14-24 June, 1994

Mo‐Lin Ge, Yong-Shi Wu

"The emphasis of all the talks was on quantum integrable systems and new symmetries such as the new formulations and applications of quantum groups (Yangian symmetry and quantum algebras, quantum affine symmetry, current approach etc.), long-ranged interaction models, Haldane-Shastry spin chain, Bethe ansatz methods, new quantization approaches to sine-Gordon equation and self-dual Yang-Mills field, fractional statistics and others."--Preface

Spin chains and Yangians

W.L.N. Stronks

In this thesis we theoretically investigate the close relation between spin chains and Yangians. First, we investigate the Haldane-Shastry model, which symmetry algebra is a representation of the Yangian. We show this in full detail for the spin-1/2 model. We also give an argument why a spin-1 chain with Yangian symmetry cannot exist. \nAfter that, we turn to integrable spin chains which are constructed using the quantum inverse scattering method. Using this method, an integrable spin chain can be constructed from each so called R-matrix, which is a solution of the Yang-Baxter equation. Our main result is the construction of an R-matrix that is invariant under the adjoint representation of SU(n), which is found using an intertwining operator for the corresponding Yangian representation. The integrable\nspin chain that corresponds to this R-matrix is non-Hermitian, making its physical interpretation unclear. These results have been published recently as a preprint under arXiv:1606.02516. \nFinally, integrable spin chains with defects are studied. We present the Hamiltonian for the Heisenberg model and the Babujian-Takhtajan model with defects, such that these models keep there integrability while staying Lie algebra invariant.

Integrability and Applications of the Exactly-Solvable Haldane-Shastry One-Dimensional Quantum Spin Chain

J. C. Talstra

Recently, the one dimensional model of $N$ spins with $S=\frac{1}{2}$ on a circle, interacting with an exchange that falls off with the inverse square of the separation: $H_{\rm ISE} =\sum_{i\neq j} \frac{1}{[\frac{N}π \sin(\frac{i-j}{N}π)]^2}(\svec_i\cdot \svec_j-\frac{1}{4})$, or ISE-model, has received ample attention. Its special features include: relatively simple eigenfunctions, non-interacting elementary excitations that obey semionic statistics (spinons), and a large ``quantum group'' symmetry algebra called the Yangian. This model is fully integrable, albeit in a slightly different sense than the more traditional nearest neighbor exchange (NNE) Heisenberg chain. This thesis comes in 4 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the model and presents the construction of a subset of the eigenfunctions. The other eigenfunctions are shown to be generated by the action of the Yangian symmetry algebra of $H_{\rm ISE}$. Chapter 2 presents a method to construct the set of constants of the motion of the ISE-model. The ISE-model is tractable enough to obtain its zero-magnetic-field dynamical structure factors. Chapter 3 attempts to extend this to a non-zero magnetic field, where, due to the presence of spinons in the groundstate, more complicated excitations contribute: small numbers of magnons and spinons. discuss the relation to the more complicated NNE-model. Finally chapter 4 illustrates how a recently conjectured new form of Off Diagonal Long Range Order in antiferromagnetic spin chains can be reinterpreted as a spinon propagator in the ISE-model, and verified numerically. We briefly comment on its relevance to stabilizing superconductivity in the layered cuprates.

Yangian symmetry of integrable quantum chains with long-range interactions and a new description of states in conformal field theory

F. D. M. Haldane, Zou Ha, J. C. Talstra +2 more

The SU(n) quantum chains with inverse-square exchange exhibit a novel form of Yangian symmetry compatible with periodic boundary conditions, allowing states to be countable. We characterize the ``supermultiplets'' of the spectrum in terms of generalized ``occupation numbers.'' We embed the model in the k=1 SU(n) Kac-Moody algebra and obtain a new classification of the states of conformal field theory, adapted to particlelike elementary excitations obeying fractional statistics.
