Density matrix renormalization group for the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition of the 19-vertex model

We embody the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method for the 19-vertex model on a square lattice in order to investigate the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. Elements of the transfer matrix of the 19-vertex model are classified in terms of the total value of arrows in one layer of the square lattice. By using this classification, we succeed to reduce enormously the dimension of the matrix which has to be diagonalized in the DMRG method. We apply our method to the 19-vertex model with the interaction $K=1.0866$ and obtain $c=1.006(1)$ for the conformal anomaly. PACS. 05.90.+m, 02.70.-cComment: RevTeX style, 20 pages, 12 figure

Excited states nonlinear integral equations for an integrable anisotropic spin 1 chain

We propose a set of nonlinear integral equations to describe on the excited states of an integrable the spin 1 chain with anisotropy. The scaling dimensions, evaluated numerically in previous studies, are recovered analytically by using the equations. This result may be relevant to the study on the supersymmetric sine-Gordon model.Comment: 15 pages, 2 Figures, typos correcte

Monopole Oscillations and Dampings in Boson and Fermion Mixture in the Time-Dependent Gross-Pitaevskii and Vlasov Equations

We construct a dynamical model for the time evolution of the boson-fermion coexistence system. The dynamics of bosons and fermions are formulated with the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevsky equation and the Vlasov equation. We thus study the monopole oscillation in the bose-fermi mixture. We find that large damping exists for fermion oscillations in the mixed system even at zero temperature.Comment: 16 pages text and 12 figure

Finite-dimensional analogs of string s <-> t duality and pentagon equation

We put forward one of the forms of functional pentagon equation (FPE), known from the theory of integrable models, as an algebraic explanation to the phenomenon known in physics as st duality. We present two simple geometrical examples of FPE solutions, one of them yielding in a particular case the well-known Veneziano expression for 4-particle amplitude. Finally, we interpret our solutions of FPE in terms of relations in Lie groups.Comment: LaTeX, 12 pages, 6 eps figure

From the quantum Jacobi-Trudi and Giambelli formula to a nonlinear integral equation for thermodynamics of the higher spin Heisenberg model

We propose a nonlinear integral equation (NLIE) with only one unknown function, which gives the free energy of the integrable one dimensional Heisenberg model with arbitrary spin. In deriving the NLIE, the quantum Jacobi-Trudi and Giambelli formula (Bazhanov-Reshetikhin formula), which gives the solution of the T-system, plays an important role. In addition, we also calculate the high temperature expansion of the specific heat and the magnetic susceptibility.Comment: 18 pages, LaTeX; some explanations, 2 figures, one reference added; typos corrected; to appear in J.

Explicit formulas for the generalized Hermite polynomials in superspace

We provide explicit formulas for the orthogonal eigenfunctions of the supersymmetric extension of the rational Calogero-Moser-Sutherland model with harmonic confinement, i.e., the generalized Hermite (or Hi-Jack) polynomials in superspace. The construction relies on the triangular action of the Hamiltonian on the supermonomial basis. This translates into determinantal expressions for the Hamiltonian's eigenfunctions.Comment: 19 pages. This is a recasting of the second part of the first version of hep-th/0305038 which has been splitted in two articles. In this revised version, the introduction has been rewritten and a new appendix has been added. To appear in JP

Yang-Baxter equation for the asymmetric eight-vertex model

In this note we study `a la Baxter [1] the possible integrable manifolds of the asymmetric eight-vertex model. As expected they occur when the Boltzmann weights are either symmetric or satisfy the free-fermion condition but our analysis clarify the reason both manifolds need to share a universal invariant. We also show that the free-fermion condition implies three distinct classes of integrable models.Comment: Latex, 12 pages, 1 figur

Spinons in Magnetic Chains of Arbitrary Spins at Finite Temperatures

The thermodynamics of solvable isotropic chains with arbitrary spins is addressed by the recently developed quantum transfer matrix (QTM) approach. The set of nonlinear equations which exactly characterize the free energy is derived by respecting the physical excitations at T=0, spinons and RSOS kinks. We argue the implication of the present formulation to spinon character formula of level k=2S SU(2) WZWN model .Comment: 25 pages, 8 Postscript figures, Latex 2e,uses graphicx, added figures and detailed discussion

Free Expansion of a Weakly-interacting Dipolar Fermi Gas

We theoretically investigate a polarized dipolar Fermi gas in free expansion. The inter-particle dipolar interaction deforms phase-space distribution in trap and also in the expansion. We exactly predict the minimal quadrupole deformation in the expansion for the high-temperature Maxwell-Boltzmann and zero-temperature Thomas-Fermi gases in the Hartree-Fock and Landau-Vlasov approaches. In conclusion, we provide a proper approach to develop the time-of-flight method for the weakly-interacting dipolar Fermi gas and also reveal a scaling law associated with the Liouville's theorem in the long-time behaviors of the both gases

Collective ferromagnetism in two-component Fermi-degenerate gas trapped in finite potential

Spin asymmetry of the ground states is studied for the trapped spin-degenerate (two-component) gases of the fermionic atoms with the repulsive interaction between different components, and, for large particle number, the asymmetric (collective ferromagnetic) states are shown to be stable because it can be energetically favorable to increase the fermi energy of one component rather than the increase of the interaction energy between up-down components. We formulate the Thomas-Fermi equations and show the algebraic methods to solve them. From the Thomas-Fermi solutions, we find three kinds of ground states in finite system: 1) paramagnetic (spin-symmetric), 2) ferromagnetic (equilibrium) and 3) ferromagnetic (nonequilibrium) states. We show the density profiles and the critical atom numbers for these states obtained analytically, and, in ferromagnetic states, the spin-asymmetries are shown to occur in the central regions of the trapped gas, and grows up with increasing particle number. Based on the obtained results, we discuss the experimental conditions and current difficulties to realize the ferromagnetic states of the trapped atom gas, which should be overcome.Comment: submit to PR
