Magnetic properties of the distorted diamond chain at T=0
We explore, at T=0, the magnetic properties of the antiferromagnetic
distorted diamond chain described by the Hamiltonian {\cal H}

Band-Insulator-Metal-Mott-Insulator transition in the half--filled ionic-Hubbard chain
We investigate the ground state phase diagram of the half-filled
repulsive Hubbard model in the presence of a staggered ionic
potential , using the continuum-limit bosonization approach. We find,
that with increasing on-site-repulsion , depending on the value of the
next-nearest-hopping amplitude , the model shows three different
versions of the ground state phase diagram. For , the ground state phase diagram consists of the following
three insulating phases: Band-Insulator at , Ferroelectric Insulator
at . For
there is only one transition from a spin gapped
metallic phase at .
Finally, for intermediate values of the next-nearest-hopping amplitude
we find that with increasing
on-site repulsion, at the model undergoes a second-order
commensurate-incommensurate type transition from a band insulator into a
metallic state and at larger there is a Kosterlitz-Thouless type
transition from a metal into a ferroelectric insulator.Comment: 9 pages 3 figure
Spin-Peierls instability in a quantum spin chain with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction
We analysed the ground state energy of some dimerized spin-1/2 transverse XX
and Heisenberg chains with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction to study the
influence of the latter interaction on the spin-Peierls instability. We found
that DM interaction may act either in favour of the dimerization or against it.
The actual result depends on the dependence of DM interaction on the distortion
amplitude in comparison with such dependence for the isotropic exchange
interaction.Comment: 12 pages, latex, 3 figure
{\bf -Function Evaluation of Gap Probabilities in Orthogonal and Symplectic Matrix Ensembles}
It has recently been emphasized that all known exact evaluations of gap
probabilities for classical unitary matrix ensembles are in fact
-functions for certain Painlev\'e systems. We show that all exact
evaluations of gap probabilities for classical orthogonal matrix ensembles,
either known or derivable from the existing literature, are likewise
-functions for certain Painlev\'e systems. In the case of symplectic
matrix ensembles all exact evaluations, either known or derivable from the
existing literature, are identified as the mean of two -functions, both
of which correspond to Hamiltonians satisfying the same differential equation,
differing only in the boundary condition. Furthermore the product of these two
-functions gives the gap probability in the corresponding unitary
symmetry case, while one of those -functions is the gap probability in
the corresponding orthogonal symmetry case.Comment: AMS-Late
Algebraic entropy and the space of initial values for discrete dynamical systems
A method to calculate the algebraic entropy of a mapping which can be lifted
to an isomorphism of a suitable rational surfaces (the space of initial values)
are presented. It is shown that the degree of the th iterate of such a
mapping is given by its action on the Picard group of the space of initial
values. It is also shown that the degree of the th iterate of every
Painlev\'e equation in sakai's list is at most and therefore its
algebraic entropy is zero.Comment: 10 pages, pLatex fil
Finite-dimensional reductions of the discrete Toda chain
The problem of construction of integrable boundary conditions for the
discrete Toda chain is considered. The restricted chains for properly chosen
closure conditions are reduced to the well known discrete Painlev\'e equations
, , . Lax representations for these discrete
Painlev\'e equations are found.Comment: Submitted to Jornal of Physics A: Math. Gen., 14 page
Magnetic properties of the spin Heisenberg chain with hexamer modulation of exchange
We consider the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with alternating spin exchange %on
even and odd sites in the presence of additional modulation of exchange on odd
bonds with period three. We study the ground state magnetic phase diagram of
this hexamer spin chain in the limit of very strong antiferromagnetic (AF)
exchange on odd bonds using the numerical Lanczos method and bosonization
approach. In the limit of strong magnetic field commensurate with the
dominating AF exchange, the model is mapped onto an effective Heisenberg
chain in the presence of uniform and spatially modulated fields, which is
studied using the standard continuum-limit bosonization approach. In absence of
additional hexamer modulation, the model undergoes a quantum phase transition
from a gapped string order into the only one gapless L\"uttinger liquid (LL)
phase by increasing the magnetic field. In the presence of hexamer modulation,
two new gapped phases are identified in the ground state at magnetization equal
to 1/3 and 2/3 of the saturation value. These phases reveal themselves also in
magnetization curve as plateaus at corresponding values of magnetization. As
the result, the magnetic phase diagram of the hexamer chain shows seven
different quantum phases, four gapped and three gapless and the system is
characterized by six critical fields which mark quantum phase transitions
between the ordered gapped and the LL gapless phases.Comment: 21 pages, 5 figures, Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 24,

Multivortex Solutions of the Weierstrass Representation
The connection between the complex Sine and Sinh-Gordon equations on the
complex plane associated with a Weierstrass type system and the possibility of
construction of several classes of multivortex solutions is discussed in
detail. We perform the Painlev\'e test and analyse the possibility of deriving
the B\"acklund transformation from the singularity analysis of the complex
Sine-Gordon equation. We make use of the analysis using the known relations for
the Painlev\'{e} equations to construct explicit formulae in terms of the
Umemura polynomials which are -functions for rational solutions of the
third Painlev\'{e} equation. New classes of multivortex solutions of a
Weierstrass system are obtained through the use of this proposed procedure.
Some physical applications are mentioned in the area of the vortex Higgs
model when the complex Sine-Gordon equation is reduced to coupled Riccati
equations.Comment: 27 pages LaTeX2e, 1 encapsulated Postscript figur
