Some Properties of the Calogero-Sutherland Model with Reflections

We prove that the Calogero-Sutherland Model with reflections (the BC_N model) possesses a property of duality relating the eigenfunctions of two Hamiltonians with different coupling constants. We obtain a generating function for their polynomial eigenfunctions, the generalized Jacobi polynomials. The symmetry of the wave-functions for certain particular cases (associated to the root systems of the classical Lie groups B_N, C_N and D_N) is also discussed.Comment: 16 pages, harvmac.te

Exact calculation of the ground-state dynamical spin correlation function of a S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with free spinons

We calculate the exact dynamical magnetic structure factor S(Q,E) in the ground state of a one-dimensional S=1/2 antiferromagnet with gapless free S=1/2 spinon excitations, the Haldane-Shastry model with inverse-square exchange, which is in the same low-energy universality class as Bethe's nearest-neighbor exchange model. Only two-spinon excited states contribute, and S(Q,E) is found to be a very simple integral over these states.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX, RevTeX 3.0, cond-mat/930903

Density Correlation Functions in Calogero Sutherland Models

Using arguments from two dimensional Yang-Mills theory and the collective coordinate formulation of the Calogero-Sutherland model, we conjecture the dynamical density correlation function for coupling $l$ and $1/l$, where $l$ is an integer. We present overwhelming evidence that the conjecture is indeed correct.Comment: 12 pages phyzzx, CERN-TH/94.7243 One reference change

Exact ground state and kink-like excitations of a two dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet

A rare example of a two dimensional Heisenberg model with an exact dimerized ground state is presented. This model, which can be regarded as a variation on the kagome lattice, has several features of interest: it has a highly (but not macroscopically) degenerate ground state; it is closely related to spin chains studied by earlier authors; in particular, it is probably the first genuinely two-dimensional quantum system to exhibit domain-wall-like ``kink'' excitations normally found only in one-dimensional systems. In some limits it decouples into non-interacting chains, purely dynamically and not because of weakening of interchain couplings: indeed, paradoxically, this happens in the limit of strong coupling of the chains.Comment: 4 pages, revtex, 5 figures included via epsfi

Exact Dynamical Correlation Functions of Calogero-Sutherland Model and One-Dimensional Fractional Statistics

One-dimensional model of non-relativistic particles with inverse-square interaction potential known as Calogero-Sutherland Model (CSM) is shown to possess fractional statistics. Using the theory of Jack symmetric polynomial the exact dynamical density-density correlation function and the one-particle Green's function (hole propagator) at any rational interaction coupling constant $\lambda = p/q$ are obtained and used to show clear evidences of the fractional statistics. Motifs representing the eigenstates of the model are also constructed and used to reveal the fractional {\it exclusion} statistics (in the sense of Haldane's ``Generalized Pauli Exclusion Principle''). This model is also endowed with a natural {\it exchange } statistics (1D analog of 2D braiding statistics) compatible with the {\it exclusion} statistics.

A Note on Dressed S-Matrices in Models with Long-Range Interactions

The {\sl dressed} Scattering matrix describing scattering of quasiparticles in various models with long-range interactions is evaluated by means of Korepin's method\upref vek1/. For models with ${1\over\sin^2(r)}$-interactions the S-matrix is found to be a momentum-independent phase, which clearly demonstrates the ideal gas character of the quasiparticles in such models. We then determine S-matrices for some models with ${1\over\sinh^2(r)}$-interaction and find them to be in general nontrivial. For the ${1\over r^2}$-limit of the ${1\over\sinh^2(r)}$-interaction we recover trivial S-matrices, thus exhibiting a crossover from interacting to noninteracting quasiparticles. The relation of the S-matrix to fractional statistics is discussed.Comment: 18 pages, jyTeX (macro included - just TeX the file) BONN-TH-94-13, revised version: analysis of models with 1/sinh^2 interaction adde

Bunching Transitions on Vicinal Surfaces and Quantum N-mers

We study vicinal crystal surfaces with the terrace-step-kink model on a discrete lattice. Including both a short-ranged attractive interaction and a long-ranged repulsive interaction arising from elastic forces, we discover a series of phases in which steps coalesce into bunches of n steps each. The value of n varies with temperature and the ratio of short to long range interaction strengths. We propose that the bunch phases have been observed in very recent experiments on Si surfaces. Within the context of a mapping of the model to a system of bosons on a 1D lattice, the bunch phases appear as quantum n-mers.Comment: 5 pages, RevTex; to appear in Phys. Rev. Let

Adiabatic Ground-State Properties of Spin Chains with Twisted Boundary Conditions

We study the Heisenberg spin chain with twisted boundary conditions, focusing on the adiabatic flow of the energy spectrum as a function of the twist angle. In terms of effective field theory for the nearest-neighbor model, we show that the period 2 (in unit $2\pi$) obtained by Sutherland and Shastry arises from irrelevant perturbations around the massless fixed point, and that this period may be rather general for one-dimensional interacting lattice models at half filling. In contrast, the period for the Haldane-Shastry spin model with $1/r^2$ interaction has a different and unique origin for the period, namely, it reflects fractional statistics in Haldane's sense.Comment: 6 pages, revtex, 3 figures available on request, to appear in J.

Exact Solution for 1D Spin-Polarized Fermions with Resonant Interactions

Using the asymptotic Bethe Ansatz, we obtain an exact solution of the many-body problem for 1D spin-polarized fermions with resonant p-wave interactions, taking into account the effects of both scattering volume and effective range. Under typical experimental conditions, accounting for the effective range, the properties of the system are significantly modified due to the existence of "shape" resonances. The excitation spectrum of the considered model has unexpected features, such as the inverted position of the particle- and hole-like branches at small momenta, and roton-like minima. We find that the frequency of the "breathing" mode in the harmonic trap provides an unambiguous signature of the effective range.Comment: final version to be published in Phys. Rev. Let
