Dynamical Symmetries of Two-Dimensional Dirac Equation with Screened Coulomb and Isotropic Harmonic Oscillator Potentials

In this paper, we study symmetrical properties of two-dimensional (2D) screened Dirac Hydrogen atom and isotropic harmonic oscillator with scalar and vector potentials of equal magnitude (SVPEM). We find that it is possible for both cases to preserve so(3) and su(2) dynamical symmetries provided certain conditions are satisfied. Interestingly, the conditions for preserving these dynamical symmetries are exactly the same as non-relativistic screened Hydrogen atom and screened isotropic oscillator preserving their dynamical symmetries. Some intuitive explanations are proposed.     

Hidden Structure of Symmetries

A hidden additional algebraic structure is discovered for the Lie algebra of symmetries of any dynamical system V. The structure is based on the properties of the Lie derivative operator L_V and on a hidden canonical flag structure in the eigenspaces of any linear operator.     

Microscopic Theory of the Two-Dimensional Quantum Antiferromagnet in a Paramagnetic Phase

We have developed a consistent theory of the Heisenberg quantum antiferromagnet in the disordered phase with a short range antiferromagnetic order on the basis of the path integral for spin coherent states. In the framework of our approach we have obtained the response function for the spin fluctuations for all values of the frequency ω and the wave vector k and have calculated the free energy of the system. We have also reproduced the known results for the spin correlation length in the lowest order in 1/N. We have presented the Lagrangian of the theory in a form which is explicitly invariant under rotations and found natural variables in terms of which one can construct a natural perturbation theory. The short wave spin fluctuations are similar to those in the spin wave theory and they are on the order of the smallness parameter 1/2s where s is the spin magnitude. The long-wave spin fluctuations are governed by the nonlinear sigma model and are on the order of the smallness parameter 1/N, where N is the number of field components. We also have shown that the short wave spin fluctuations must be evaluated accurately and the continuum limit in time of the path integral must be performed after the summation over the frequencies ω.     

Hidden Symmetries of the Principal Chiral Model Unveiled

By relating the two-dimensional U(N) Principal Chiral Model to a simple linear system we obtain a free-field parametrisation of solutions. Obvious symmetry transformations on the free-field data give symmetries of the model. In this way all known “hidden symmetries” and B?cklund transformations, as well as a host of new symmetries, arise. Received: 20 November 1996 / Accepted: 25 April 1997     

Duality and Hidden Symmetries in Interacting Particle Systems

In the context of Markov processes, both in discrete and continuous setting, we show a general relation between duality functions and symmetries of the generator. If the generator can be written in the form of a Hamiltonian of a quantum spin system, then the “hidden” symmetries are easily derived. We illustrate our approach in processes of symmetric exclusion type, in which the symmetry is of SU(2) type, as well as for the Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti (KMP) model for which we unveil its SU(1,1) symmetry. The KMP model is in turn an instantaneous thermalization limit of the energy process associated to a large family of models of interacting diffusions, which we call Brownian energy process (BEP) and which all possess the SU(1,1) symmetry. We treat in details the case where the system is in contact with reservoirs and the dual process becomes absorbing.     

High-Field and Multifrequency ESR in the Two-Dimensional Triangular Lattice Antiferromagnet NiGa2S4

We report the experimental results of electron spin resonance in high magnetic fields up to about 53 T on the quasi-two-dimensional triangular lattice antiferromagnet NiGa₂S₄. The temperature dependence of the resonance field at 584.8 GHz shows a steep change below about 30 K, indicating a development of the short-range correlation. The frequency dependence of the resonance field at the lowest temperature for H∥c is explained by one of the helical resonance modes. These experimental results suggest that the short-range order is well developed at low temperatures, and the resonance mode is described by a conventional spin wave theory.

Hidden Symmetries for Thermodynamics and Emergence of Relativity

Erik Verlinde recently proposed an idea about the thermodynamic origin of gravity. Though this is a beautiful idea, which may resolve many long standing problems in the theories of gravity, it also raises many other problems. In this article I will comment on some of the problems of Verlinde＇s proposal with special emphasis on the thermodynamical origin of the principle of relativity. It is found that there is a large group of hidden symmetries of thermodynamics, which contains the Poincare group of the spacetime for which space is emergent. This explains the thermodynamic origin of the principle of relativity.

Spin-Wave Analysis of the Spin-1 Two-Dimensional Frustrated Heisenberg Antiferromagnet with the Single-Ion Anisotropy

In this paper, the low-temperature properties of the spin-1 two-dimensional frustrated Heisenberg antifer- romagnet with the single-ion anisotropy are investigated on a square lattice by using the spin-wave theory. The influence of the frustration and anisotropy is found in the thermodynamics of the model, such as the temperature dependence of the staggered magnetization and specific heat. For some selected values of the frustration and anisotropy parameters, the results for the specific heat are compared with those of existing theories and numerical estimates. Within a spin-wave analysis, we have found the evidence for an intermediate magnetically disorder phase to separate the Néel and collinear phases.

Effect of Quantum Fluctuation on Two-Dimensional Spatially Anisotropic Heisenberg Antiferromagnet with Integer Spin

In the present paper, we calculate the Gaussian correction to the critical value J_⊥^c caused by quantum spin fluctuation in a two-dimensional spatially anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet with integer spin S. Previously, some authors computed this quantity by the mean-field theory based on the Schwinger boson representation of spin operators. However, for S=1, their result is much less than the one derived by numerical calculations. By taking the effect of quantum spin fluctuation into consideration, we are able to produce a greatly improved result.     

Some Invariant Solutions of Two-Dimensional Elastodynamics in Linear Homogeneous Isotropic Materials

Invariant solutions of two-dimensional elastodynamics in linear homogeneous isotropic materials are considered via the group theoretical method. The second order partial differential equations of elastodynamics are reduced to ordinary differential equations under the infinitesimal operators. Three invariant solutions are constructed. Their graphical figures are presented and physical meanings are elucidated in some cases.     

On Hidden Symmetries of d > 4 NHEK-N-Ad S Geometry

As well known, all higher dimensional Kerr-NUT-Ads metrics with arbitrary rotation and NUT parameters in an asymptotically Ad S spacetime have a new hidden symmetry. In this paper, we show that in the near horizon,the isometry group is enhanced to include the dilatation and special conformal transformation, and find the conformal transformation contains the cosmological constant. It is demonstrated that for near horizon extremal Kerr-NUT-Ads(NHEK-N-Ad S) only one rank-2 Killing tensor decomposes into a quadratic combination of the Killing vectors in terms of conformal group, while the others are functionally independent.     

The Hidden Symmetries and Their Algebraic Structure of the Static Axially Symmetric SDYM Fields

A new explicit transformation about the static axially symmetric self-dual Yang-Mills(SDYM) fields is presented.The theory has proved that the new transformation is a symmetric one.For the two kinds of the Lie algebraic generators of the Lie group SL (N.R)/SO(N),the corresponding transformations are given.By making use of the Yang-Baxter equality and their square brackets we have obtained the Loop and comformal algebraic structures of the symmetric transformations for the basic fields.All the results obtained in this paper can be directly generalized to the other models.     

The Hidden Symmetries of Spin-1 Ising Lattice Gas for Usual Quantum Hamiltonians

In this letter, the most common quantum Hamiltonian is exploited in order to compare the definite equivalences, corresponding to possible spin values in a lattice gas model, to those in a spin-1 Ising model. Our approach also requires interpolating both results in a p-state clock model, in order to find the hidden symmetries of both under consideration models.     

Quantum Tunneling in an Order-Parameter-Preserving Antiferromagnet

We have studied quantum tunneling in an order-parameter-preserving antiferromagnet with the help of Holstein-Primakoff transformation. It is found that, when the system being prepared in a coherent state, there exist the quantum tunneling between lattices k and k+1, k and k−1, respectively. In particular, when the lattice is infinitely long and the spin excitations are in the long-wavelength limit, quantum tunneling disappear between lattices k and k+1, and that k and k−1, in this case the magnetic soliton appears.
