Hubbard model,conserved quantities,and computer algebra

The constants of motion of the half-filled four-point Hubbard model with cyclic boundary conditions are given in Wannier and Bloch representation. The total number operator and total spin operator are conserved and spin-reversal symmetry exists. In Wannier representation we have additionally the C_4v symmetry and in Bloch representation we have the total momentum operator which is conserved. The anticommutation relations for Fermi operators with spin are implemented using computer algebra. Using computer algebra, all the constants of motion are given. The one-dimensional Hubbard model admits a Lax representation. From the Lax pair we find a new constant of motion.     

Chiral Schwinger model with new regularization

A recently proposed version of the chiral Schwinger model is studied in detail in this paper. It is shown that a suitable Pauli-Villars regularization can be devised to reproduce the bosonized form of the effective action that was earlier written down. It is then shown how this anomalous gauge theory can be made gauge invariant by the introduction of a Wess-Zumino field. The equations of motion of this theory are explicitly solved in Lorentz covariant gauges. Finally, the operator solution of the fermionic form of the theory is constructed.     

Relativistically covariant calculation of hyperon formfactors

Electroweak formfactors are calculated using a Lorentz invariant formalism based on boosted bag-model. The Lorentz-invariance is explicitly demonstrated. Only one version of the formalism can be consistent with the conserved vector current (CVC) constraint. Some connections with the quasi-potential formalism are discussed. Difficulties encountered in the usage of the chiral-bag model are described. The results are compared with the earlier bag model calculations for semileptonic weak decays.     

Mach Like Principle from Conserved Charges

We study models where the gauge coupling constants, masses and the gravitational constant are functions of some conserved charge in the universe, and furthermore a cosmological constant that depends on the total charge of the universe. We first consider the standard Dirac action, but where the mass and the electromagnetic coupling constant are a function of the charge in the universe and afterwards extend this to curved spacetime and consider gauge coupling constants, the gravitational constant and the mass as a function of the charge of the universe, which represent a sort of Mach principle for all the constants of nature. In the flat space formulation, the formalism is not manifestly Lorentz invariant, however Lorentz invariance can be restored by performing a phase transformation of the Dirac field. One interesting model of this type is one where the action is invariant under rescalings of the Dirac wave function. In the curved space time formulation, there is the additional feature that some of the equations of motion break the general coordinate invariance also, but in a way that can be understood as a coordinate choice only, so the equations are still of the General Relativity type, but with a certain natural coordinate choice, where there is no current of the charge. We have generalized what we have done and also constructed a cosmological constant which depends on the total charge of the universe. We discuss how these ideas work when the space where the charges live is finite. If we were to use some only approximately conserved charge for these constructions, like say baryon number (in the context of the standard model), this will lead to corresponding violations of Lorentz symmetry in the early universe for example. We also briefly discuss another non-local formulations where the coupling constants are functions of the Pontryagin index of some non-abelian gauge field configurations. The construction of charge dependent contributions can also be motivated from the structure of the “infra-red counter terms” needed to cancel infra red divergences for example in three dimensions.     

Relocalization of Total Conserved Charge for Schwarzschild-AdS Spacetime

We use a tetrad field that his associated metric gives Schwarzschild-AdS spacetime. This tetrad constructed from a diagonal tetrad, which is the square root of Schwarzschild-Ads metric and two other local Lorentz transformations. One of these transformations is a special case of Euler angles and the other is a boost transformation. We then apply the approach of invariant conserved currents to calculate the conserved quantity of Schwarzschild-Ads. Such approach needs a regularization to give the correct result. Therefore, a relocalization procedure is used to calculate the total conserved charge. This procedure leads to physical results in terms of total energy.     

Bell’s inequality with Dirac particles

We study Bell’s inequality using the Bell states constructed from four component Dirac spinors. Spin operator is related to the Pauli-Lubanski pseudo vector which is relativistic invariant operator. By using Lorentz transformation, in both Bell states and spin operator, we obtain an observer independent Bell’s inequality, so that it is maximally violated as long as it is violated maximally in the rest frame. The article is published in the original.     

Higgs portal inflation

The Higgs sector of the Standard Model offers a unique opportunity to probe the hidden sector. The Higgs squared operator is the only dimension two operator which is Lorentz and gauge invariant. It can therefore couple both to scalar curvature and the hidden sector at the dim-4 level. We consider the possibility that a combination of the Higgs and a singlet from the hidden sector plays the role of inflaton, due to their large couplings to gravity. This implies that the quartic couplings satisfy certain constraints which leads to distinct low energy phenomenology, including Higgs signals at the LHC. We also address the unitarity issues and show that our analysis survives the unitarization procedure.     

New method of applying conformal group to quantum fields

Most of previous work on applying the conformal group to quantum fields has emphasized its invariant aspects, whereas in this paper we find that the conformal group can give us running quantum fields, with some constants, vertex and Green functions running, compatible with the scaling properties of renormalization group method(RGM). We start with the renormalization group equation(RGE), in which the differential operator happens to be a generator of the conformal group, named dilatation operator. In addition we link the operator/spatial representation and unitary/spinor representation of the conformal group by inquiring a conformal-invariant interaction vertex mimicking the similar process of Lorentz transformation applied to Dirac equation. By this kind of application,we find out that quite a few interaction vertices are separately invariant under certain transformations(generators) of the conformal group. The significance of these transformations and vertices is explained. Using a particular generator of the conformal group, we suggest a new equation analogous to RGE which may lead a system to evolve from asymptotic regime to nonperturbative regime, in contrast to the effect of the conventional RGE from nonperturbative regime to asymptotic regime.     

Trace Dynamics and a non-commutative special relativity

Trace Dynamics is a classical dynamical theory of non-commuting matrices in which cyclic permutation inside a trace is used to define the derivative with respect to an operator. We use the methods of Trace Dynamics to construct a non-commutative special relativity. We define a line-element using the Trace over space–time coordinates which are assumed to be operators. The line-element is shown to be invariant under standard Lorentz transformations, and is used to construct a non-commutative relativistic dynamics. The eventual motivation for constructing such a non-commutative relativity is to relate the statistical thermodynamics of this classical theory to quantum mechanics.     

Effect of charge-spin separation on the conductance through interacting low-dimensional rings

We calculate the conductance through Aharonov-Bohm chain and ladder rings pierced by a magnetic flux which couples with the charge degrees of freedom. The system is weakly coupled to two leads and contains strongly interacting electrons modeled by the prototypical t-J and Hubbard models. For a wide range of parameters we observe characteristic dips in the conductance as a function of magnetic flux which are a signature of spin and charge separation. We also show how the dips evolve when the parameters of the models depart from the ideal case of total spin-charge separation. The ladder ring can be mapped onto an effective model for large anisotropy which can be easily analyzed. These results open the possibility of observing this peculiar many-body phenomenon in anisotropic ladder systems and in real nanoscopic devices.     

Standard Model without elementary scalars and high energy Lorentz violation

If Lorentz symmetry is violated at high energies, interactions that are usually non-renormalizable can become renormalizable by weighted power counting. Recently, a CPT invariant, Lorentz violating extension of the Standard Model containing two scalar-two fermion interactions (which can explain neutrino masses) and four fermion interactions (which can explain proton decay) was proposed. In this paper we consider a variant of this model, obtained suppressing the elementary scalar fields, and argue that it can reproduce the known low-energy physics. In the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio spirit, we show, using a large N _c expansion, that a dynamical symmetry breaking takes place. The effective potential has a Lorentz invariant minimum and the Lorentz violation does not reverberate down to low energies. The mechanism generates fermion masses, gauge-boson masses and scalar bound states, to be identified with composite Higgs bosons. Our approach is not plagued by the ambiguities of approaches based on non-renormalizable vertices. The low-energy effective action is uniquely determined and predicts relations among parameters of the Standard Model.     

Gravitationsphysik und Lorentzraum

Gravitationphysics and Lorentz-space Coordinate invariant conservation laws for static and stationary gravitation fields can be formulated. Being seen as elements of Lorentz space the quantities to be conserved open to a physical interpretation. These quantities are field and matter terms. Some examples illustrate how useful this approach has turned out to be.     

Area-preserving diffeomorphisms and supermembrane Lorentz invariance

The Lie algebra of area-preserving diffeomorphisms on closed membranes of arbitrary topology is investigated. On the basis of a harmonic decomposition we define the structure constants as well as two other tensors which appear in the supermembrane Lorentz generators. We derive certain identities between these tensors and analyze their validity when the areapreserving diffeomorphisms are approximated bySU(N). One of the additional tensors can then be identified with the invariant symmetric three-index tensor ofSU(N), while the second has no obvious analog. We prove that the Lorentz generators are classically conserved in the light-cone gauge for arbitrary membrane topology, as a consequence of these tensor identities. This formulation allows a systematic study of the violations of Lorentz invariance in theSU(N) approximation.     

Lattice spinor gravity

We propose a regularized lattice model for quantum gravity purely formulated in terms of fermions. The lattice action exhibits local Lorentz symmetry, and the continuum limit is invariant under general coordinate transformations. The metric arises as a composite field. Our lattice model involves no signature for space and time, describing simultaneously a Minkowski or euclidean theory. It is invariant both under Lorentz transformations and euclidean rotations. The difference between space and time arises from expectation values of composite fields. Our formulation includes local gauge symmetries beyond the generalized Lorentz symmetry. The lattice construction can be employed for formulating models with local gauge symmetries purely in terms of fermions.     

Pairing correlations on t-U-J ladders

We find that the pairing correlations on the usual t-U Hubbard ladder are significantly enhanced by the addition of a nearest-neighbor exchange interaction J. Likewise, these correlations are also enhanced for the t-J model when the on-site Coulomb interaction is reduced from infinity. Moreover, the pairing correlations are larger on a t-U-J ladder than on a t-J(eff) ladder in which J(eff) has been adjusted so that the two models have the same spin gap at half filling. This enhancement of the pairing correlations is associated with an increase in the pair-binding energy and the pair mobility in the t-U-J model and points to the importance of the charge-transfer nature of the cuprate systems.     

Two-parameter extended Hubbard Hamiltonian with supersymmetry

We investigate under which circumstances extended Hubbard models, including bond-charge, exchange, and pair-hopping terms, are invariant under gl (2,1) superalgebra. This happens for a two-parameter Hamiltonian which includes as particular cases the t - J, the EKS and the one-parameter BGLZ Hamiltonians, all integrable in one dimension. We show that the two parameter Hamiltonian can be recasted as the sum of the BGLZ Hamiltonian plus the graded permutation operator of electronic states on neighbouring sites. The integrability of the corresponding one-dimensional model is discussed. Received: 17 February 1998 / Received in final form: 6 March 1998 / Accepted: 17 April 1998     

用量子蒙特卡罗方法研究二维超流-莫特绝缘体相变点附近的希格斯粒子

与伽利略不变性的超流体不同, 具有洛伦兹不变性的超流体中除了声子模之外, 还存在希格斯振幅模(Higgs amplitude mode). 在二维情况下, 由于存在十分剧烈的衰变成声子模的过程, 希格斯模是否仍然是一个能产生尖锐线性响应的激发子成为了一个问题. 近年来的进展最终对这一持续数十年的争论做出了肯定的回答, 证实了希格斯的可观测性. 在这里, 我们回顾一系列的数值方面的工作; 它们以二维超流体(superfluid)到莫特绝缘体(Mott insulator) 量子相变点(SF-MI QCP) 附近的具有洛伦兹不变性的超流体为对象, 成功探测到了希格斯模的线性响应信号. 特别是, 我们介绍了一种如何使用平衡态系统的蒙特卡罗算法计算强关联系统的延迟响应函数(retarded response function)的方法. 该方法主要包含两个核心步骤: 即通过路径积分表示下的蠕虫算法这一高效的蒙特卡罗算法计算平衡态系统的虚时间关联函数, 然后利用数值解析延拓方法从虚时间关联函数中获得实时间(实频率)的响应函数. 将该数值方法应用于二维SF-MI QCP附近的玻色-哈伯德模型(Bose-Hubbard Model), 结果表明尽管在超流相中, 希格斯模衰变过程非常剧烈, 但是在动能算符相对应的延迟响应函数的虚部中, 仍然可以观测到希格斯模所对应的尖锐的共振峰. 进一步的研究表明, 在莫特绝缘相, 甚至常流体相中, 也可能存在类似的共振峰信号. 由于可以在光晶格中超冷原子系统等凝聚态中观测到SF-MI QCP, 因此希格斯共振峰有望通过实验进行直接探测. 此外我们指出, 同样的希格斯共振峰还存在于所有和SF-MI QCP具有相同普适类((2+1)维相对论性U(1)临界性)的量子临界系统中.     

Indefinite charge for the classical spinor field

We define a conserved Lorentz vector for a two-component spinor field that obeys the Klein-Gordon equation and interpret it as a charge-current density. The corresponding total charge can take negative as well as positive values, which is not the case for the usual charge of the Dirac field. We consequently can define probability amplitudes for a relativistic quantum mechanics, and we solve the inhomogeneous equation by means of the causal Green function. This vector is not invariant under gauge transformations of the spinor field, and we cannot generalize the equation by the gauge invariant substitution to obtain the interaction with an electromagnetic field. In the limit of a massless field that obeys the Weyl equation, the charge vanishes.     

Derivative expansions of fermion-number currents

It is shown, by constructing an appropriate homotopy operator on differential forms, that the derivative expansion of a conserved fermion-number current can be written term-by-term as a total divergence, apart from the leading gauged topological term. As a corollary, it is shown that the derivative expansion of the effective action for massive chiral fermions is local and chiral gauge invariant, apart from the gauged Wess-Zumino term which produces the chiral anomaly.     

The pion velocity at chiral restoration and the vector manifestation

We study the effects of Lorentz non-invariance on the physical pion velocity at the critical temperature T_c in an effective theory of hidden local symmetry (HLS) with the “vector manifestation” fixed point. We match at a “matching scale” Λ_M the axial-vector current correlator in the HLS with the one in the operator product expansion for QCD, and present the matching condition to determine the bare pion velocity. We find that the physical pion velocity, which is found to be one at T=T_c when starting from the Lorentz invariant bare HLS, remains close to one with the Lorentz non-invariance, v_π(T_c)=0.83–0.99. This result is quite similar to the pion velocity in dense matter.
