Spin-spin Correlation in Some Excited States of Transverse Ising Model
We consider the transverse Ising model in one dimension with
nearest-neighbour interaction and calculate exactly the longitudinal spin-spin
correlation for a class of excited states. These states are known to play an
important role in the perturbative treatment of one-dimensional transverse
Ising model with frustrated second-neighbour interaction. To calculate the
correlation, we follow the earlier procedure of Wu, use Szego's theorem and
also use Fisher-Hartwig conjecture. The result is that the correlation decays
algebraically with distance () as and is oscillatory or
non-oscillatory depending on the magnitude of the transverse field.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur

Griffiths-McCoy singularities in random quantum spin chains: Exact results through renormalization
The Ma-Dasgupta-Hu renormalization group (RG) scheme is used to study
singular quantities in the Griffiths phase of random quantum spin chains. For
the random transverse-field Ising spin chain we have extended Fisher's
analytical solution to the off-critical region and calculated the dynamical
exponent exactly. Concerning other random chains we argue by scaling
considerations that the RG method generally becomes asymptotically exact for
large times, both at the critical point and in the whole Griffiths phase. This
statement is checked via numerical calculations on the random Heisenberg and
quantum Potts models by the density matrix renormalization group method.Comment: 4 pages RevTeX, 2 figures include
Exact renormalization of the random transverse-field Ising spin chain in the strongly ordered and strongly disordered Griffiths phases
The real-space renormalization group (RG) treatment of random
transverse-field Ising spin chains by Fisher ({\it Phys. Rev. B{\bf 51}, 6411
(1995)}) has been extended into the strongly ordered and strongly disordered
Griffiths phases and asymptotically exact results are obtained. In the
non-critical region the asymmetry of the renormalization of the couplings and
the transverse fields is related to a non-linear quantum control parameter,
, which is a natural measure of the distance from the quantum critical
point. , which is found to stay invariant along the RG trajectories and
has been expressed by the initial disorder distributions, stands in the
singularity exponents of different physical quantities (magnetization,
susceptibility, specific heat, etc), which are exactly calculated. In this way
we have observed a weak-universality scenario: the Griffiths-McCoy
singularities does not depend on the form of the disorder, provided the
non-linear quantum control parameter has the same value. The exact scaling
function of the magnetization with a small applied magnetic field is calculated
and the critical point magnetization singularity is determined in a simple,
direct way.Comment: 11 page
Critical Behavior and Griffiths-McCoy Singularities in the Two-Dimensional Random Quantum Ising Ferromagnet
We study the quantum phase transition in the two-dimensional random Ising
model in a transverse field by Monte Carlo simulations. We find results similar
to those known analytically in one-dimension. At the critical point, the
dynamical exponent is infinite and the typical correlation function decays with
a stretched exponential dependence on distance. Away from the critical point
there are Griffiths-McCoy singularities, characterized by a single,
continuously varying exponent, z', which diverges at the critical point, as in
one-dimension. Consequently, the zero temperature susceptibility diverges for a
RANGE of parameters about the transition.Comment: 4 pages RevTeX, 3 eps-figures include
Critical Behavior of the Random Potts Chain
We study the critical behavior of the random q-state Potts quantum chain by
density matrix renormalization techniques. Critical exponents are calculated by
scaling analysis of finite lattice data of short chains () averaging
over all possible realizations of disorder configurations chosen according to a
binary distribution. Our numerical results show that the critical properties of
the model are independent of q in agreement with a renormalization group
analysis of Senthil and Majumdar (Phys. Rev. Lett.{\bf 76}, 3001 (1996)). We
show how an accurate analysis of moments of the distribution of magnetizations
allows a precise determination of critical exponents, circumventing some
problems related to binary disorder. Multiscaling properties of the model and
dynamical correlation functions are also investigated.Comment: LaTeX2e file with Revtex, 9 pages, 8 eps figures, 4 tables; typos

Localization transitions in non-Hermitian quantum mechanics
We study the localization transitions which arise in both one and two
dimensions when quantum mechanical particles described by a random
Schr\"odinger equation are subjected to a constant imaginary vector potential.
A path-integral formulation relates the transition to flux lines depinned from
columnar defects by a transverse magnetic field in superconductors. The theory
predicts that the transverse Meissner effect is accompanied by stretched
exponential relaxation of the field into the bulk and a diverging penetration
depth at the transition.Comment: 4 pages (latex) with 3 figures (epsf) embedded in the text using the
