Non-equivalence between Heisenberg XXZ spin chain and Thirring model
The Bethe ansatz equations for the spin 1/2 Heisenberg XXZ spin chain are
numerically solved, and the energy eigenvalues are determined for the
anti-ferromagnetic case. We examine the relation between the XXZ spin chain and
the Thirring model, and show that the spectrum of the XXZ spin chain is
different from that of the regularized Thirring model.Comment: 10 pages. 2figure
Series Expansions for the Massive Schwinger Model in Hamiltonian lattice theory
It is shown that detailed and accurate information about the mass spectrum of
the massive Schwinger model can be obtained using the technique of
strong-coupling series expansions. Extended strong-coupling series for the
energy eigenvalues are calculated, and extrapolated to the continuum limit by
means of integrated differential approximants, which are matched onto a
weak-coupling expansion. The numerical estimates are compared with exact
results, and with finite-lattice results calculated for an equivalent lattice
spin model with long-range interactions. Both the heavy fermion and the light
fermion limits of the model are explored in some detail.Comment: RevTeX, 10 figures, add one more referenc
The (1+1)-dimensional Massive sine-Gordon Field Theory and the Gaussian Wave-functional Approach
The ground, one- and two-particle states of the (1+1)-dimensional massive
sine-Gordon field theory are investigated within the framework of the Gaussian
wave-functional approach. We demonstrate that for a certain region of the
model-parameter space, the vacuum of the field system is asymmetrical.
Furthermore, it is shown that two-particle bound state can exist upon the
asymmetric vacuum for a part of the aforementioned region. Besides, for the
bosonic equivalent to the massive Schwinger model, the masses of the one boson
and two-boson bound states agree with the recent second-order results of a
fermion-mass perturbation calculation when the fermion mass is small.Comment: Latex, 11 pages, 8 figures (EPS files
