Tunneling-induced restoration of classical degeneracy in quantum kagome ice
Quantum effect is expected to dictate the behavior of physical systems at low temperature. For quantum magnets with geometrical frustration, quantum fluctuation usually lifts the macroscopic classical degeneracy, and exotic quantum states emerge. However, how different types of quantum processes entangle wave functions in a constrained Hilbert space is not well understood. Here, we study the topological entanglement entropy and the thermal entropy of a quantum ice model on a geometrically frustrated kagome lattice. We find that the system does not show a Z(2) topological order down to extremely low temperature, yet continues to behave like a classical kagome ice with finite residual entropy. Our theoretical analysis indicates an intricate competition of off-diagonal and diagonal quantum processes leading to the quasidegeneracy of states and effectively, the classical degeneracy is restored
N K Pi molecular state with I=1 and J(Pi)=3/2-
The structure of the molecule-like state of with spin-parity
and isospin I=1 is studied within the chiral SU(3) quark
model. First we calculate the , , and phase shifts in the
framework of the resonating group method (RGM), and a qualitative agreement
with the experimental data is obtained. Then we perform a rough estimation for
the energy of , and the effect of the mixing to
the configuration is also considered. The
calculated energy is very close to the threshold of the system. A
detailed investigation is worth doing in the further study.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures; accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
The tensor structure on the representation category of the triplet algebra
We study the braided monoidal structure that the fusion product induces on
the abelian category -mod, the category of representations of
the triplet -algebra . The -algebras are a
family of vertex operator algebras that form the simplest known examples of
symmetry algebras of logarithmic conformal field theories. We formalise the
methods for computing fusion products, developed by Nahm, Gaberdiel and Kausch,
that are widely used in the physics literature and illustrate a systematic
approach to calculating fusion products in non-semi-simple representation
categories. We apply these methods to the braided monoidal structure of
-mod, previously constructed by Huang, Lepowsky and Zhang, to
prove that this braided monoidal structure is rigid. The rigidity of
-mod allows us to prove explicit formulae for the fusion product
on the set of all simple and all projective -modules, which were
first conjectured by Fuchs, Hwang, Semikhatov and Tipunin; and Gaberdiel and
Runkel.Comment: 58 pages; edit: added references and revisions according to referee
