    Canonical bases arising from quantum symmetric pairs

    We develop a general theory of canonical bases for quantum symmetric pairs (\mathbf{U}, \mathbf{U}^\imath) with parameters of arbitrary finite type. We construct new canonical bases for the simple integrable U\mathbf{U}-modules and their tensor products regarded as \mathbf{U}^\imath-modules. We also construct a canonical basis for the modified form of the ı\imathquantum group \mathbf{U}^\imath. To that end, we establish several new structural results on quantum symmetric pairs, such as bilinear forms, braid group actions, integral forms, Levi subalgebras (of real rank one), and integrality of the intertwiners.Comment: v1, 76 pages. v2, 62 pages, much shortened appendix, modified introduction and other corrections, to appear in Invent.

    Cooperative order and excitation spectra in the bicomponent spin networks

    Full text link
    A ferrimagnetic spin model composed of S=1/2S=1/2 spin-dimers and S=5/2S=5/2 spin-chains is studied by combining the bond-operator representation (for S=1/2S=1/2 spin-dimers) and Holstein-Primakoff transformation (for S=5/2S=5/2 spins). A finite interaction JDFJ_{\rm DF} between the spin-dimer and the spin chain makes the spin chains ordered antiferromagnetically and the spin dimers polarized. The effective interaction between the spin chains, mediated by the spin dimers, is calculated up to the third order. The staggered magnetization in the spin dimer is shown proportional to JDFJ_{\rm DF}. It presents an effective staggered field reacting on the spin chains. The degeneracy of the triplons is lifted due to the chain magnetization and a mode with longitudinal polarization is identified. Due to the triplon-magnon interaction, the hybridized triplon-like excitations show different behaviors near the vanishing JDFJ_{\rm DF}. On the other hand, the hybridized magnon-like excitations open a gap ΔA∼JDF\Delta_A\sim J_{\rm DF}. These results consist well with the experiments on Cu2_{2}Fe2_{2}Ge4_{4}O13_{13}.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
