    On Models with Inverse-Square Exchange

    Full text link
    A one-dimensional quantum N-body system of either fermions or bosons with SU(n)SU(n) colors interacting via inverse-square exchange is presented in this article. A class of eigenstates of both the continuum and lattice version of the model Hamiltonians is constructed in terms of the Jastrow-product type wave function. The class of states we construct in this paper corresponds to the ground state and the low energy excitations of the model that can be described by the effective harmonic fluid Hamiltonian. By expanding the energy about the ground state we find the harmonic fluid parameters (i.e. the charge, spin velocities, etc.), explicitly. The correlation exponent and the compressibility of are also found. As expected the general harmonic relation(i.e. vS=(vNvJ)1/2v_S=(v_Nv_J)^{1/2}) is satisfied among the charge and spin velocities.Comment: 26 page

    Exact calculation of the ground-state dynamical spin correlation function of a S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with free spinons

    Full text link
    We calculate the exact dynamical magnetic structure factor S(Q,E) in the ground state of a one-dimensional S=1/2 antiferromagnet with gapless free S=1/2 spinon excitations, the Haldane-Shastry model with inverse-square exchange, which is in the same low-energy universality class as Bethe's nearest-neighbor exchange model. Only two-spinon excited states contribute, and S(Q,E) is found to be a very simple integral over these states.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX, RevTeX 3.0, cond-mat/930903

    Conformal Field Theory on the Fermi Surface

    Full text link
    The Fermi surface may be usefully viewed as a collection of 1+1 dimensional chiral conformal field theories. This approach permits straightforward calculation of many anomalous ground state properties of the Fermi gas including entanglement entropy and number fluctuations. The 1+1 dimensional picture also generalizes to finite temperature and the presence of interactions. Finally, I argue that the low energy entanglement structure of Fermi liquid theory is universal, depending only on the geometry of the interacting Fermi surface.Comment: 4 pages + references, 2 figure

    Laughlin State on Stretched and Squeezed Cylinders and Edge Excitations in Quantum Hall Effect

    Full text link
    We study the Laughlin wave function on the cylinder. We find it only describes an incompressible fluid when the two lengths of the cylinder are comparable. As the radius is made smaller at fixed area, we observe a continuous transition to the charge density wave Tao-Thouless state. We also present some exact properties of the wave function in its polynomial form. We then study the edge excitations of the quantum Hall incompressible fluid modeled by the Laughlin wave function. The exponent describing the fluctuation of the edge predicted by recent theories is shown to be identical with numerical calculations. In particular, for ν=1/3\nu=1/3, we obtain the occupation amplitudes of edge state n(k)n(k) for 4-10 electron size systems. When plotted as a function of the scaled wave vector they become essentially free of finite-size effects. The resulting curve obtains a very good agreement with the appropriate infinite-size Calogero-Sutherland model occupation numbers. Finally, we numerically obtain n(k)n(k) of the edge excitations for some pairing states which may be relevant to the ν=5/2\nu=5/2 incompressible Hall state.Comment: 25 pages revtex, 9 uuencoded figures, submitted separately, also available from first author.

    Two-dimensional anyons and the temperature dependence of commutator anomalies

    Get PDF
    The temperature dependence of commutator anomalies is discussed on the explicit example of particular (anyonic) field operators in two dimensions. The correlation functions obtained show that effects of the non-zero temperature might manifest themselves not only globally but also locally.Comment: 11 pages, LaTe
