Spin operator matrix elements in the superintegrable chiral Potts quantum chain
We derive spin operator matrix elements between general eigenstates of the
superintegrable Z_N-symmetric chiral Potts quantum chain of finite length. Our
starting point is the extended Onsager algebra recently proposed by R.Baxter.
For each pair of spaces (Onsager sectors) of the irreducible representations of
the Onsager algebra, we calculate the spin matrix elements between the
eigenstates of the Hamiltonian of the quantum chain in factorized form, up to
an overall scalar factor. This factor is known for the ground state Onsager
sectors. For the matrix elements between the ground states of these sectors we
perform the thermodynamic limit and obtain the formula for the order
parameters. For the Ising quantum chain in a transverse field (N=2 case) the
factorized form for the matrix elements coincides with the corresponding
expressions obtained recently by the Separation of Variables Method.Comment: 24 pages, 1 figur
Factorized finite-size Ising model spin matrix elements from Separation of Variables
Using the Sklyanin-Kharchev-Lebedev method of Separation of Variables adapted
to the cyclic Baxter--Bazhanov--Stroganov or -model, we derive
factorized formulae for general finite-size Ising model spin matrix elements,
proving a recent conjecture by Bugrij and Lisovyy
Spin operator matrix elements in the quantum Ising chain: fermion approach
Using some modification of the standard fermion technique we derive
factorized formula for spin operator matrix elements (form-factors) between
general eigenstates of the Hamiltonian of quantum Ising chain in a transverse
field of finite length. The derivation is based on the approach recently used
to derive factorized formula for Z_N-spin operator matrix elements between
ground eigenstates of the Hamiltonian of the Z_N-symmetric superintegrable
chiral Potts quantum chain. The obtained factorized formulas for the matrix
elements of Ising chain coincide with the corresponding expressions obtained by
the Separation of Variables Method.Comment: 19 page
The Onsager Algebra Symmetry of -matrices in the Superintegrable Chiral Potts Model
We demonstrate that the -matrices in the superintegrable chiral
Potts model possess the Onsager algebra symmetry for their degenerate
eigenvalues. The Fabricius-McCoy comparison of functional relations of the
eight-vertex model for roots of unity and the superintegrable chiral Potts
model has been carefully analyzed by identifying equivalent terms in the
corresponding equations, by which we extract the conjectured relation of
-operators and all fusion matrices in the eight-vertex model corresponding
to the -relation in the chiral Potts model.Comment: Latex 21 pages; Typos added, References update
Eigenvectors in the Superintegrable Model I: sl_2 Generators
In order to calculate correlation functions of the chiral Potts model, one
only needs to study the eigenvectors of the superintegrable model. Here we
start this study by looking for eigenvectors of the transfer matrix of the
periodic tau_2(t)model which commutes with the chiral Potts transfer matrix. We
show that the degeneracy of the eigenspace of tau_2(t) in the Q=0 sector is
2^r, with r=(N-1)L/N when the size of the transfer matrix L is a multiple of N.
We introduce chiral Potts model operators, different from the more commonly
used generators of quantum group U-tilde_q(sl-hat(2)). From these we can form
the generators of a loop algebra L(sl(2)). For this algebra, we then use the
roots of the Drinfeld polynomial to give new explicit expressions for the
generators representing the loop algebra as the direct sum of r copies of the
simple algebra sl(2).Comment: LaTeX 2E document, 11 pages, 1 eps figure, using iopart.cls with

Bethe Equation of -model and Eigenvalues of Finite-size Transfer Matrix of Chiral Potts Model with Alternating Rapidities
We establish the Bethe equation of the -model in the -state
chiral Potts model (including the degenerate selfdual cases) with alternating
vertical rapidities. The eigenvalues of a finite-size transfer matrix of the
chiral Potts model are computed by use of functional relations. The
significance of the "alternating superintegrable" case of the chiral Potts
model is discussed, and the degeneracy of -model found as in the
homogeneous superintegrable chiral Potts model.Comment: Latex 25 pages; Typos corrected, Minor changes for clearer

Multi-particle structure in the Z_n-chiral Potts models
We 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 <= 12 and N <= 10 sites, respectively, and extrapolating
N to infinity. In the high-temperature massive phase we 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 = Q m_1. Exponential
convergence in N is observed for the single particle gaps, while power
convergence is seen for the scattering levels. We also verify that
qualitatively the same pattern appears for the self-dual and integrable cases.
For general Z_n we show that the energy-momentum relations of the particles
show a parity non-conservation 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.Comment: 22 pages (LaTeX) plus 5 figures (included as PostScript),

Minimal Unitary Models and The Closed SU(2)-q Invariant Spin Chain
We consider the Hamiltonian of the closed invariant chain. We
project a particular class of statistical models belonging to the unitary
minimal series. A particular model corresponds to a particular value of the
coupling constant. The operator content is derived. This class of models has
charge-dependent boundary conditions. In simple cases (Ising, 3-state Potts)
corresponding Hamiltonians are constructed. These are non-local as the original
spin chain.Comment: 19 pages, latex, no figure
Nonequilibrium Forces Between Neutral Atoms Mediated by a Quantum Field
We study all known and as yet unknown forces between two neutral atoms,
modeled as three dimensional harmonic oscillators, arising from mutual
influences mediated by an electromagnetic field but not from their direct
interactions. We allow as dynamical variables the center of mass motion of the
atom, its internal degrees of freedom and the quantum field treated
relativistically. We adopt the method of nonequilibrium quantum field theory
which can provide a first principle, systematic and unified description
including the intrinsic field fluctuations and induced dipole fluctuations. The
inclusion of self-consistent back-actions makes possible a fully dynamical
description of these forces valid for general atom motion. In thermal
equilibrium we recover the known forces -- London, van der Waals and
Casimir-Polder forces -- between neutral atoms in the long-time limit but also
discover the existence of two new types of interatomic forces. The first, a
`nonequilibrium force', arises when the field and atoms are not in thermal
equilibrium, and the second, which we call an `entanglement force', originates
from the correlations of the internal degrees of freedom of entangled atoms.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figure
