Duality Between Spin Networks and the 2D Ising Model

The goal of this paper is to exhibit a deep relation between the partition function of the Ising model on a planar trivalent graph and the generating series of the spin network evaluations on the same graph. We provide respectively a fermionic and a bosonic Gaussian integral formulation for each of these functions and we show that they are the inverse of each other (up to some explicit constants) by exhibiting a supersymmetry relating the two formulations. We investigate three aspects and applications of this duality. First, we propose higher order supersymmetric theories that couple the geometry of the spin networks to the Ising model and for which supersymmetric localization still holds. Secondly, after interpreting the generating function of spin network evaluations as the projection of a coherent state of loop quantum gravity onto the flat connection state, we find the probability distribution induced by that coherent state on the edge spins and study its stationary phase approximation. It is found that the stationary points correspond to the critical values of the couplings of the 2D Ising model, at least for isoradial graphs. Third, we analyze the mapping of the correlations of the Ising model to spin network observables, and describe the phase transition on those observables on the hexagonal lattice. This opens the door to many new possibilities, especially for the study of the coarse-graining and continuum limit of spin networks in the context of quantum gravity.     

Separation of Variables in the Elliptic Gaudin Model

For the elliptic Gaudin model (a degenerate case of the XYZ integrable spin chain) a separation of variables is constructed in the classical case. The corresponding separated coordinates are obtained as the poles of a suitably normalized Baker-Akhiezer function. The classical results are generalized to the quantum case where the kernel of the separating integral operator is constructed. The simplest one-degree-of-freedom case is studied in detail.

Intrinsic Decoherence on Two-Qubit Heisenberg XX Chain

Quantum teleportation is investigated by using the entangled states of two-qubit Heisenberg XX chain in an external uniform magnetic field as resources in the model of Milburn＇s intrinsic decoherence. Though intrinsic decoherence on quantum entanglement and quantum teleportation exerts different effects in different initial systems, proper magnetic fields and probabilities of different eigenstates in the initial states can weaken the effects.     

Droplet States in the XXZ Heisenberg Chain

We consider the ground states of the ferromagnetic XXZ chain with spin up boundary conditions. The ground state of this model, restricted to a sector with a fixed number of down spins, describes a droplet of down spins in an environment of up spins. We find the exact energy and the states that describe these droplets in the limit of an infinite number of down spins. We prove that there is a gap in the spectrum above the droplet states. As the XXZ Hamiltonian has a gap above the fully magnetized ground states as well, this means that the droplet states (for sufficiently large droplets) form an isolated band. The width of this band tends to zero in the limit of infinitely large droplets. We also prove the analogous results for finite chains with periodic boundary conditions and for the infinite chain.

Generating Function of Correlators in the sl2 Gaudin Model

An exponential generating function of correlators is calculated explicitly for the sl2 Gaudin model (degenerated quantum integrable XXX spin chain). The calculation relies on the Gauss decomposition for the SL(2) loop group. A new explicit expression for the correlators is derived from the generating function, from which the determinant formulas for the norms of Bethe eigenfunctions due to Richardson and Gaudin are obtained.     

Many-Body Localization Transition in the Heisenberg Ising Chain

In this paper, we use exact matrix diagonalization to explore the many-body localization (MBL) transition of the Heisenberg Ising spin-1/2 chain with nearest neighbor couplings and disordered external fields. It demonstrates that the fidelity, magnetization and spin-spin space correlation can be used to characterize the many-body localization transition in this closed spin system which is also in agreement with previous analytical and numerical results. We test the properties for the middle third many-body eigenstates. It shows that for this model with random-field, the excited-state fidelity exhibits a pronounced drop at the transition and then gradually tends to be stable in the localized phase, the critical point and the final value of averaged fidelity are all size dependent. It demonstrates that disordered external fields drive the occurrence of the MBL transition. Moreover, we investigate the magnetization and spin-spin space correlation in this model to verify the conclusion we got and further explore the properties of ergodic phase and localized phase.

Gaudin Model,KZ Equation and an Isomonodromic Problem on the Tours

This Letter presents a construction of isospectral problems on the torus. The construction starts from an SU(n) version of the XYZ Gaudin model recently studied by Kuroki and Takebe within the context of a twisted WZW model. In the classical limit, the quantum Hamiltonians of the generalized Gaudin model turn into classical Hamiltonians with a natural r-matrix structure. These Hamiltonians are used to build a nonautonomous multi-time Hamiltonian system, which is eventually shown to be an isomonodromic problem on the torus. This isomonodromic problem can also be reproduced from an elliptic analogue of the KZ equation for the twisted WZW model. Finally, a geometric interpretation of this isomonodromic problem is discussed in the language of a moduli space of meromorphic connections.     

Multipartite Entanglement in Heisenberg Model

The effects of anisotropy and magnetic field on multipartite entanglement of ground state in Heisenberg XY model are investigated. The multipartite entanglement increases as a function of the inverse strength of the external field when the degree of anisotropy is finite. There are two peaks when the degree of anisotropy is γ=±1. When the degree of anisotropy increases further, the multipartite entanglement will decrease and tend to a constant. The threshold of the inverse strength of the external field for generating multipartite entanglement generally decreases with the increasing of qubits.

Higher-Order Inhomogeneous Generalized Heisenberg Supermagnetic Model

We construct the fourth-order inhomogeneous generalized HS model and investigate the integrability property of the supersymmetric integrable system. Moreover, in terms of the gauge transformation, we investigate the corresponding gauge equivalent counterparts under two constraints, i.e., the super inhomogeneous generalized nonlinear Schr?dinger equation and the fermionic inhomogeneous generalized nonlinear Schr?dinger equation.     

Asymptotics of the Mean-Field Heisenberg Model

We consider the mean-field classical Heisenberg model and obtain detailed information about the total spin of the system by studying the model on a complete graph and sending the number of vertices to infinity. In particular, we obtain Cramér- and Sanov-type large deviations principles for the total spin and the empirical spin distribution and demonstrate a second-order phase transition in the Gibbs measures. We also study the asymptotics of the total spin throughout the phase transition using Stein’s method, proving central limit theorems in the sub- and supercritical phases and a nonnormal limit theorem at the critical temperature.     

Slave-Fermion Mean-Field Theory of Heisenberg Model

A nearly half-filled two-dimensional Heisenberg model is investigated. A slave-fermion method with fermions as the charge carriers and bosons as the spin carriers is proposed. The ground state shows antiferromagnetic long range order at T = 0. The spin-spin correlation and static susceptibility are also obtained.
