Exact solutions of exactly integrable quantum chains by a matrix product ansatz
Most of the exact solutions of quantum one-dimensional Hamiltonians are
obtained thanks to the success of the Bethe ansatz on its several formulations.
According to this ansatz the amplitudes of the eigenfunctions of the
Hamiltonian are given by a sum of permutations of appropriate plane waves. In
this paper, alternatively, we present a matrix product ansatz that asserts that
those amplitudes are given in terms of a matrix product. The eigenvalue
equation for the Hamiltonian define the algebraic properties of the matrices
defining the amplitudes. The existence of a consistent algebra imply the exact
integrability of the model. The matrix product ansatz we propose allow an
unified and simple formulation of several exact integrable Hamiltonians. In
order to introduce and illustrate this ansatz we present the exact solutions of
several quantum chains with one and two global conservation laws and periodic
boundaries such as the XXZ chain, spin-1 Fateev-Zamolodchikov model,
Izergin-Korepin model, Sutherland model, t-J model, Hubbard model, etc.
Formulation of the matrix product ansatz for quantum chains with open ends is
also possible. As an illustration we present the exact solution of an extended
XXZ chain with -magnetic fields at the surface and arbitrary hard-core
exclusion among the spins.Comment: 57 pages, no figure
Spin-glass phase transition and behavior of nonlinear susceptibility in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with random fields
The behavior of the nonlinear susceptibility and its relation to the
spin-glass transition temperature , in the presence of random fields, are
investigated. To accomplish this task, the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model is
studied through the replica formalism, within a one-step
replica-symmetry-breaking procedure. In addition, the dependence of the
Almeida-Thouless eigenvalue (replicon) on the random fields
is analyzed. Particularly, in absence of random fields, the temperature
can be traced by a divergence in the spin-glass susceptibility ,
which presents a term inversely proportional to the replicon . As a result of a relation between and , the
latter also presents a divergence at , which comes as a direct consequence
of at . However, our results show that, in the
presence of random fields, presents a rounded maximum at a temperature
, which does not coincide with the spin-glass transition temperature
(i.e., for a given applied random field). Thus, the maximum
value of at reflects the effects of the random fields in the
paramagnetic phase, instead of the non-trivial ergodicity breaking associated
with the spin-glass phase transition. It is also shown that still
maintains a dependence on the replicon , although in a more
complicated way, as compared with the case without random fields. These results
are discussed in view of recent observations in the LiHoYF
compound.Comment: accepted for publication in PR
Generalization of the matrix product ansatz for integrable chains
We present a general formulation of the matrix product ansatz for exactly
integrable chains on periodic lattices. This new formulation extends the matrix
product ansatz present on our previous articles (F. C. Alcaraz and M. J. Lazo

Delocalization and wave-packet dynamics in one-dimensional diluted Anderson models
We study the nature of one-electron eigen-states in a one-dimensional diluted
Anderson model where every Anderson impurity is diluted by a periodic function
. Using renormalization group and transfer matrix techniques, we provide
accurate estimates of the extended states which appear in this model, whose
number depends on the symmetry of the diluting function . The density of
states (DOS) for this model is also numerically obtained and its main features
are related to the symmetries of the diluting function . Further, we show
that the emergence of extended states promotes a sub-diffusive spread of an
initially localized wave-packet.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, to appear in EPJ
