    Soluble `Supersymmetric' Quantum XY Model

    Full text link
    We present a `supersymmetric' modification of the dd-dimensional quantum rotor model whose ground state is exactly soluble. The model undergoes a vortex-binding transition from insulator to metal as the rotor coupling is varied. The Hamiltonian contains three-site terms which are relevant: they change the universality class of the transition from that of the (d+1d+1)--- to the dd-dimensional classical XY model. The metallic phase has algebraic ODLRO but the superfluid density is identically zero. Variational wave functions for single-particle and collective excitations are presented.Comment: 12 pages, REVTEX 3.0, IUCM93-00
