Application of algebraic combinatorics to finite spin systems with dihedral symmetry

Properties of a given symmetry group G are very important in investigation of a physical system invariant under its action. In the case of finite spin systems (magnetic rings, some planar macromolecules) the symmetry group is isomorphic with the dihedral group D_N. In this paper group-theoretical `parameters' of such groups are determined, especially decompositions of transitive representations into irreducible ones and double cosets. These results are necessary to construct matrix elements of any operator commuting with G in an efficient way. The approach proposed can be usefull in many branches of physics, but here it is applied to finite spin systems, which serve as models for mesoscopic magnets.

Combinatorial aspects of nanoscale magnetism

A finite spin system invariant under a symmetry group G is a very illustrative example of the finite group action on a set of mappings f:X->Y. In the case of spin systems X is a set of spin carriers and Y contains 2s+1 z-components -s<=m<=s for a given spin number s. Orbits and stabilizers are used as additional indices of the symmetry adapted basis. Their mathematical nature does not lead to smaller eigenproblems, but they label states in a systematic way. Some combinatorial and group-theoretical structures, like double cosets and transitive representations, appear in a natural way. In such a system one can construct general formulas for vectors of symmetry adapted basis and matrix elements of operators commuting with the action of $G$ in the space of states. Considerations presented in this paper should be followed by detailed discussion of different symmetry groups (e.g. cyclic of dihedral ones) and optimal implementation of algorithms. The paradigmatic example, i.e. a finite spin system, can be useful in investigation of magnetic macromolecules.

The Group-Theoretical Classification of Some Multiparticle States in the Presence of Magnetic Field and Periodic Potential

The group-theoretical classification of multiparticle states(pairs of particles and charged excitons X^+-) is based on considerations of products of irreducible projective representations of the two-dimensional translation group. The states of a pair particle-antiparticle are non-degenerate, whereas, for a given Born-von Karman period N, degeneracy of pair states is N andthree-particle states are N^2-fold degenerated. The symmetrization of states with respect to particles transposition is considered. Three symmetry adapted bases for trions are considered: (i) the first is obtained from a direct conjugation of three representations; (ii) in the second approach the states of a electrically neutral pair particle-antiparticle are determined in the first step; (iii) the third possibility is to consider a pair of identical particles in the first step. In the discussion presented the Landau gauge A=[0,Hx,0] is used, but it is shown that the results obtained are gauge-independent. In addition the relation between changes of a chosen gauge and local basis transformations are discussed.
