Series expansions for lattice Green functions

Lattice Green functions appear in lattice gauge theories, in lattice models of statistical physics and in random walks. Here, space coordinates are treated as parameters and series expansions in the mass are obtained. The singular points in arbitrary dimensions are found. For odd dimensions these are branch points with half odd-integer exponents, while for even dimensions they are of the logarithmic type. The differential equations for one, two and three dimensions are derived, and the general form for arbitrary dimensions is indicated. Explicit series expressions are found in one and two dimensions. These series are hypergeometric functions. In three and higher dimensions the series are more complicated. Finally an algorithmic method by Vohwinkel, Luscher and Weisz is shown to generalize to arbitrary anisotropies and mass.

Comments on "New representations of the Hecke algebra and algebraic Bethe Ansatz for an integrable generalized spin ladder", by H.-Q. Zhou, H. Frahm and M.D. Gould, cond-mat/9911072

The authors of cond-mat/9911072 claim to introduce "new representations of the Hecke algebra." These representations are shown to be the XXC models introduced two years ago in solv-int/9712008, and repeatedly studied and referred to in subsequent papers. They are in fact representations of the Temperley-Lieb algebra. Several other remarks are made and mistakes are pointed out.

Non-additive fusion, Hubbard models and non-locality

In the framework of quantum groups and additive R-matrices, the fusion procedure allows to construct higher-dimensional solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. These solutions lead to integrable one-dimensional spin-chain Hamiltonians. Here fusion is shown to generalize naturally to non-additive R-matrices, which therefore do not have a quantum group symmetry. This method is then applied to the generalized Hubbard models. Although the resulting integrable models are not as simple as the starting ones, the general structure is that of two spin-(s times s') sl(2) models coupled at the free-fermion point. An important issue is the probable lack of regular points which give local Hamiltonians. This problem is related to the existence of second order zeroes in the unitarity equation, and arises for the XX models of higher spins, the building blocks of the Hubbard models. A possible connection between some Lax operators L and R-matrices is noted.

New Integrable Models from Fusion

Integrable multistate or multiflavor/color models were recently introduced. They are generalizations of models corresponding to the defining representations of the U_q(sl(m)) quantum algebras. Here I show that a similar generalization is possible for all higher dimensional representations. The R-matrices and the Hamiltonians of these models are constructed by fusion. The sl(2) case is treated in some detail and the spin-0 and spin-1 matrices are obtained in explicit forms. This provides in particular a generalization of the Fateev-Zamolodchikov Hamiltonian.

Multiplicity A_m Models

Models generalizing the su(2) XX spin-chain were recently introduced. These XXC models also have an underlying su(2) structure. Their construction method is shown to generalize to the chains based on the fundamental representations of the A_m Lie algebras. Integrability of the new models is shown in the context of the quantum inverse scattering method. Their R-matrix is found and shown to yield a representation of the Hecke algebra. The diagonalization of the transfer matrices is carried out using the algebraic Bethe Ansatz. I comment on eventual generalizations and possible links to reaction-diffusion processes.

Integrable open boundary conditions for XXC models

The XXC models are multistate generalizations of the well known spin 1/2 XXZ model. These integrable models share a common underlying su(2) structure. We derive integrable open boundary conditions for the hierarchy of conserved quantities of the XXC models . Due to lack of crossing unitarity of the R-matrix, we develop specific methods to prove integrability. The symmetry of the spectrum is determined.

Fermionization and Hubbard Models

We introduce a transformation which allows the fermionization of operators of any one-dimensional spin-chain. This fermionization procedure is independent of any eventual integrable structure and is compatible with it. We illustrate this method on various integrable and non-integrable chains, and deduce some general results. In particular, we fermionize XXC spin-chains and study their symmetries. Fermionic realizations of certain Lie algebras and superalgebras appear naturally as symmetries of some models. We also fermionize recently obtained Hubbard models, and obtain for the first time multispecies analogues of the Hubbard model, in their fermionic form. We comment on the conflict between symmetry enhancement and integrability of these models. Finally, the fermionic versions of the non integrable spin-1 and spin-3/2 Heisenberg chains are obtained.

Exact integrability of the su(n) Hubbard model

The bosonic su(n) Hubbard model was recently introduced. The model was shown to be integrable in one dimension by exhibiting the infinite set of conserved quantities. I derive the R-matrix and use it to show that the conserved charges commute among themselves. This new matrix is a non-additive solution of the Yang-Baxter equation. Some properties of this matrix are derived.

Hubbard Models as Fusion Products of Free Fermions

A class of recently introduced su(n) `free-fermion' models has recently been used to construct generalized Hubbard models. I derive an algebra defining the `free-fermion' models and give new classes of solutions. I then introduce a conjugation matrix and give a new and simple proof of the corresponding decorated Yang-Baxter equation. This provides the algebraic tools required to couple in an integrable way two copies of free-fermion models. Complete integrability of the resulting Hubbard-like models is shown by exhibiting their L and R matrices. Local symmetries of the models are discussed. The diagonalization of the free-fermion models is carried out using the algebraic Bethe Ansatz.

The su(N) Hubbard model

The one-dimensional Hubbard model is known to possess an extended su(2) symmetry and to be integrable. I introduce an integrable model with an extended su(n) symmetry. This model contains the usual su(2) Hubbard model and has a set of features that makes it the natural su(n) generalization of the Hubbard model. Complete integrability is shown by introducing the L-matrix and showing that the transfer matrix commutes with the hamiltonian. While the model is integrable in one dimension, it provides a generalization of the Hubbard hamiltonian in any dimension.

The su(N) XX model

The natural su(N) generalization of the XX model is introduced and analyzed. It is defined in terms of the characterizing properties of the usual XX model: the existence of two infinite sequences of mutually commuting conservation laws and the existence of two infinite sequences of mastersymmetries. The integrability of these models, which cannot be obtained in a degenerate limit of the su(N)-XXZ model, is established in two ways: by exhibiting their R matrix and from a direct construction of the commuting conservation laws. We then diagonalize the conserved laws by the method of the algebraic Bethe Ansatz. The resulting spectrum is trivial in a certain sense; this provides another indication that the su(N) XX model is the natural generalization of the su(2) model. The application of these models to the construction of an integrable ladder, that is, an su(N) version of the Hubbard model, is mentioned.

The XXC Models

A class of recently introduced multi-states XX models is generalized to include a deformation parameter. This corresponds to an additional nearest-neighbor CC interaction in the defining quadratic hamiltonian. Complete integrability of the one-dimensional models is shown in the context of the quantum inverse scattering method. The new R-matrix is derived. The diagonalization of the XXC models is carried out using the algebraic Bethe Ansatz.

Non-unitary Conformal Field Theory and Logarithmic Operators for Disordered Systems

We consider the supersymmetric approach to gaussian disordered systems like the random bond Ising model and Dirac model with random mass and random potential. These models appeared in particular in the study of the integer quantum Hall transition. The supersymmetric approach reveals an osp(2/2)_1 affine symmetry at the pure critical point. A similar symmetry should hold at other fixed points. We apply methods of conformal field theory to determine the conformal weights at all levels. These weights can generically be negative because of non-unitarity. Constraints such as locality allow us to quantize the level k and the conformal dimensions. This provides a class of (possibly disordered) critical points in two spatial dimensions. Solving the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations we obtain a set of four-point functions which exhibit a logarithmic dependence. These functions are related to logarithmic operators. We show how all such features have a natural setting in the superalgebra approach as long as gaussian disorder is concerned.

Logarithmic Yangians in WZW models

A new action of the Yangians in the WZW models is displayed. Its structure is generic and level independent. This Yangian is the natural extension at the conformal point of the one unravelled in massive theories with current algebras. Expectingly, this new symmetry of WZW models will lead to a deeper understanding of the integrable structure of conformal field theories and their deformations.

Baxter Equation for the QCD Odderon

The Hamiltonian derived by Bartels, Kwiecinski and Praszalowicz for the study of high-energy QCD in the generalized logarithmic approximation was found to correspond to the Hamiltonian of an integrable $XXX$ spin chain. We study the odderon Hamiltonian corresponding to three sites by means of the Bethe Ansatz approach. We rewrite the Baxter equation, and consequently the Bethe Ansatz equations, as a linear triangular system. We derive a new expression for the eigenvectors and the eigenvalues, and discuss the quantization of the conserved quantities.

Bethe Ansatz for Lattice Analogues of $N=2$ Superconformal Theories

The critical Boltzmann weights for lattice analogues of the $N=2$ superconformal coset models $\frac{G_1 \times SO(dim(G/H))}{H}$ were given in \cite{nick}. In this paper Bethe Ansatz methods are employed to calculate the spectrum of the transfer matrix obtained from these Boltzmann weights. {}From this the central charge and conformal weights are obtained by calculating finite-size corrections to the free energy per site. The results agree with those obtained from the superconformal model.

Lattice Analogues of $N=2$ Superconformal Models via Quantum Group Truncation

We obtain lattice models whose continuum limits correspond to $N=2$ superconformal coset models. This is done by taking the well known vertex model whose continuum limit is the $G \times G/G$ conformal field theory, and twisting the transfer matrix and modifying the quantum group truncation. We find that the natural order parameters of the new models are precisely the chiral primary fields. The integrable perturbations of the conformal field theory limit also have natural counterparts in the lattice formulation, and these can be incorporated into an affine quantum group structure. The topological, twisted $N=2$ superconformal models also have lattice analogues, and these emerge as an intermediate part of our analysis.

On the Solution of Topological Landau-Ginzburg Models with $c=3$

The solution is given for the $c=3$ topological matter model whose underlying conformal theory has Landau-Ginzburg model $W=-\qa (x^4 +y^4)+\af x^2y^2$. While consistency conditions are used to solve it, this model is probably at the limit of such techniques. By using the flatness of the metric of the space of coupling constants I rederive the differential equation that relates the parameter \af\ to the flat coordinate $t$. This simpler method is also applied to the $x^3+y^6$-model.
