Spin correlation functions, Ramus-like identities, and enumeration of constrained lattice walks and plane partitions

Relations between the mean values of distributions of flipped spins on periodic Heisenberg XX chain and some aspects of enumerative combinatorics are discussed. The Bethe vectors, which are the state-vectors of the model, are considered both as on- and off-shell. It is this approach that makes it possible to represent and to study the correlation functions in the form of non-intersecting nests of lattice walks and related plane partitions. We distinguish between two types of walkers, namely lock step models and random turns. Of particular interest is the connection of random turns walks and a circulant matrix. The determinantal representation for the norm-trace generating function of plane partitions with fixed height of diagonal parts is obtained as the expectation of the generating exponential over off-shell N-particle Bethe states. The asymptotics of the dynamical mean value of the generating exponential is calculated in the double scaling limit provided that the evolution parameter is large. It is shown that the amplitudes of the leading asymptotics depend on the number of diagonally constrained plane partitions.

Heisenberg XX chain, non-homogeneously parameterised generating exponential, and diagonally restricted plane partitions

The mean values of non-homogeneously parameterized generating exponential are obtained and investigated for the periodic Heisenberg XX model. The norm-trace generating function of boxed plane partitions with fixed volume of their diagonal parts is obtained as N-particles average of the generating exponential. The generating function of self-avoiding walks of random turns vicious walkers is obtained in terms of the circulant matrices that leads to generalizations of the Ramus's identity. Under various specifications of the generating exponential, the N-particles averages arise for a set of inconsecutive flipped spins and for powers of the first moment of flipped spins distribution at large length of the chain. These averages are expressed through the numbers of closed trajectories with constrained initial/final positions. The estimates at large temporal parameter are expressed through the numbers of diagonally restricted plane partitions characterized by fixed values of the main diagonal trace or by fixed heights of the diagonal columns in one-to-one correspondence with the flipped spins positions.

Combinatorial Interpretation of the Scalar Products of State Vectors of Integrable Models

The representation of the Bethe wave functions of certain integrable models via the Schur functions allows to apply the well-developed theory of the symmetric functions to the calculation of the thermal correlation functions. The algebraic relations arising in the calculation of the scalar products and the correlation functions are based on the Binet-Cauchy formula for the Schur functions. We provide a combinatorial interpretation of the formula for the scalar products of the Bethe state-vectors in terms of nests of the self-avoiding lattice paths constituting the so-called watermelon configurations. The interpretation proposed is, in its turn, related to the enumeration of the boxed plane partitions.

Correlation Functions of XX0 Heisenberg Chain, q-Binomial Determinants, and Random Walks

The XX0 Heisenberg model on a cyclic chain is considered. The representation of the Bethe wave functions via the Schur functions allows to apply the well-developed theory of the symmetric functions to the calculation of the thermal correlation functions. The determinantal expressions of the form-factors and of the thermal correlation functions are obtained. The q-binomial determinants enable the connection of the form-factors with the generating functions both of boxed plane partitions and of self-avoiding lattice paths. The asymptotical behavior of the thermal correlation functions is studied in the limit of low temperature provided that the characteristic parameters of the system are large enough.

The Ising Limit of the XXZ Heisenberg Magnet and Certain Thermal Correlation Functions

The spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg magnet is considered for the case of the anisotropy parameter tending to infinity (so-called, Ising limit). A thermal correlation function of the ferromagnetic string is calculated over the ground state. The approach to the calculation of the correlation functions in the limit of infinite anisotropy is based on the observation that the wave function is expressed in terms of the symmetric Schur functions. It is demonstrated that at low temperatures the amplitude of the asymptotical expression of this correlation function is proportional to the squared numbers of strict boxed plane partitions.

The Correlation Functions of the XXZ Heisenberg Chain for Zero or Infinite Anisotropy and Random Walks of Vicious Walkers

The XXZ Heisenberg chain is considered for two specific limits of the anisotropy parameter: $\Dl\to 0$ and $\Dl\to -\infty$. The corresponding wave functions are expressed by means of the symmetric Schur functions. Certain expectation values and thermal correlation functions of the ferromagnetic string operators are calculated over the base of N-particle Bethe states. The thermal correlator of the ferromagnetic string is expressed through the generating function of the lattice paths of random walks of vicious walkers. A relationship between the expectation values obtained and the generating functions of strict plane partitions in a box is discussed. Asymptotic estimate of the thermal correlator of the ferromagnetic string is obtained in the limit of zero temperature. It is shown that its amplitude is related to the number of plane partitions.

Scaling of many-particle correlations in a dissipative sandpile

The two dimensional directed sandpile with dissipation is transformed into a (1+1) dimensional problem with discrete space and continuous `time'. The master equation for the conditional probability that K grains preserve their initial order during an avalanche can thereby be solved exactly, and an explicit expression is given for the asymptotic form of the solution for an infinite as well as for a semi-infinite lattice in the horizontal direction. Non-trivial scaling is found in both cases. This conditional probability of the sandpile model is shown to be equal to a K-spin correlation function of the Heisenberg XX spin chain, and the sandpile problem is also shown to be equivalent to the `random-turns' version of vicious walkers.

The correlation functions of the XX Heisenberg magnet and random walks of vicious walkers

A relationship of the random walks on one-dimensional periodic lattice and the correlation functions of the XX Heisenberg spin chain is investigated. The operator averages taken over the ferromagnetic state play a role of generating functions of the number of paths made by the so-called "vicious" random walkers (the vicious walkers annihilate each other provided they arrive at the same lattice site). It is shown that the two-point correlation function of spins, calculated over eigen-states of the XX magnet, can be interpreted as the generating function of paths made by a single walker in a medium characterized by a non-constant number of vicious neighbors. The answers are obtained for a number of paths made by the described walker from some fixed lattice site to another sufficiently remote one. Asymptotical estimates for the number of paths are provided in the limit, when the number of steps is increased.

Four-vertex Model and Random Tilings

The exactly solvable four-vertex model on a square grid with the different boundary conditions is considered. The application of the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz method allows to calculate the partition function of the model. For the fixed boundary conditions the connection of the scalar product of the state vectors with the generating function of the column and row strict boxed plane partitions is established. Tiling model on a periodic grid is discussed.

The Functional Integration and the Two-Point Correlation Functions of the Trapped Bose Gas

A quantum field-theoretical model, which describes spatially non-homogeneous repulsive Bose gas in an external harmonic potential is considered. Two-point thermal correlation functions of the Bose gas are calculated in the framework of the functional integration approach. Successive integration over the ``high-energy'' functional variables first and then over the ``low-energy'' ones is used. The effective action functional for the low-energy variables is obtained in one loop approximation. The functional integral representations for the correlation functions are estimated by means of the stationary phase approximation. A power-law asymptotical behaviour of the correlators of the one-dimensional Bose gas is demonstrated in the limit, when the temperature is going to zero, while the volume occupied by the non-homogeneous Bose gas infinitely increases. The power-law behaviour is governed by the critical exponent dependent on the spatial arguments.

The Functional Integration and the Two-Point Correlation Function of the One-Dimensional Bose Gas in the Harmonic Potential

A quantum field-theoretical model which describes spatially non-homogeneous one-dimensional non-relativistic repulsive Bose gas in an external harmonic potential is considered. We calculate the two-point thermal correlation function of the Bose gas in the framework of the functional integration approach. The calculations are done in the coordinate representation. A method of successive integration over the ``high-energy'' functional variables first and then over the ``low-energy'' ones is used. The effective action functional for the low-energy variables is calculated in one loop approximation. The functional integral representation for the correlation function is obtained in terms of the low-energy variables, and is estimated by means of the stationary phase approximation. The asymptotics of the correlation function is studied in the limit when the temperature is going to zero while the volume occupied by non-homogeneous Bose gas infinitely increases. It is demonstrated that the behaviour of the thermal correlation function in the limit described is power-like, and it is governed by the critical exponent which depends on the spatial and thermal arguments.

Boxed Plane Partitions as an Exactly Solvable Boson Model

Plane partitions naturally appear in many problems of statistical physics and quantum field theory, for instance, in the theory of faceted crystals and of topological strings on Calabi-Yau threefolds. In this paper a connection is made between the exactly solvable model with the boson dynamical variables and a problem of enumeration of boxed plane partitions - three dimensional Young diagrams placed into a box of a finite size. The correlation functions of the boson model may be considered as the generating functionals of the Young diagrams with the fixed heights of its certain columns. The evaluation of the correlation functions is based on the Yang-Baxter algebra. The analytical answers are obtained in terms of determinants and they can also be expressed through the Schur functions.

Finite-temperature correlations in the one-dimensional trapped and untrapped Bose gases

We calculate the dynamic single-particle and many-particle correlation functions at non-zero temperature in one-dimensional trapped repulsive Bose gases. The decay for increasing distance between the points of these correlation functions is governed by a scaling exponent that has a universal expression in terms of observed quantities. This expression is valid in the weak-interaction Gross-Pitaevskii as well as in the strong-interaction Girardeau-Tonks limit, but the observed quantities involved depend on the interaction strength. The confining trap introduces a weak center-of-mass dependence in the scaling exponent. We also conjecture results for the density-density correlation function.

Boundary correlation functions of the six-vertex model

We consider the six-vertex model on an $N \times N$ square lattice with the domain wall boundary conditions. Boundary one-point correlation functions of the model are expressed as determinants of $N\times N$ matrices, generalizing the known result for the partition function. In the free fermion case the explicit answers are obtained. The introduced correlation functions are closely related to the problem of enumeration of alternating sign matrices and domino tilings.

Boundary polarization in the six-vertex model

Vertical-arrow fluctuations near the boundaries in the six-vertex model on the two-dimensional $N \times N$ square lattice with the domain wall boundary conditions are considered. The one-point correlation function (`boundary polarization') is expressed via the partition function of the model on a sublattice. The partition function is represented in terms of standard objects in the theory of orthogonal polynomials. This representation is used to study the large N limit: the presence of the boundary affects the macroscopic quantities of the model even in this limit. The logarithmic terms obtained are compared with predictions from conformal field theory.

Coherent quantum oscillations in coupled traps with ultracold atoms

The dynamics of two traps with ultracold atoms and connected by Josephson type coupling, is shown to exhibit a transition from dispersive dynamics to localized coherent oscillations. This transition is controlled by coupling strength and energy offset between the traps. The dynamics is also shown to be exactly that of a Heisenberg chain with a linear magnetic field. Possible applications for ``quantum-state engineering'' are discussed.

Finite-temperature correlations in the trapped Bose gas

Previous functional integral methods for translationally invariant systems have been extended to the case of a confining trap potential. Essentially all finite-temperature properties of the repulsive Bose gas in a paraboloidal trap can be determined this way. New analytical results reported here are for the finite-temperature two-point correlation functions below the critical temperatures in d=3,2 and 1 dimensions. Only for d=3 are correlations both long range and coherent - at long range consistent with the existence of a coherent state of the condensate in the trap. The two-dimensional condensate is marginally stable in the sense that correlations decay by a power law.
