Fermions and associated bosons of one-dimensional model

The representation of the canonical commutation relations involved in the construction of boson operators from fermion operators according to the recipe of the neutrino theory of light is studied. Starting from a cyclic Fock-representation for the massless fermions the boson operators are reduced by the spectral projectors of two charge-operators and form an infinite direct sum of cyclic Fock-representations. Kronig's identity expressing the fermion kinetic energy in terms of the boson kinetic energy and the squares of the charge operators is verified as an identity for strictly selfadjoint operators. It provides the key to the solubility ofLuttinger's model. A simple sufficient condition is given for the unitary equivalence of the representations linked by the canonical transformation which diagonalizes the total Hamiltonian.Work supported by the National Science Foundation.     

Fermions in a two-dimensional theory of gravity with dynamical metric and torsion

We propose a new model which reduces a two-dimensional gravitational model with dynamical metric and torsion in a conformal gauge. We also find the instanton-like solutions and discuss their symmetry properties and eigenmodes.This work was partially supported by TBTAK, the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey.     

Entanglement of two interacting bosons in a two-dimensional isotropic harmonic trap

We compute the pair entanglement between two interacting bosons in a two-dimensional (2D) isotropic harmonic trap. The interaction potential is modelled by a 2D regularized pseudopotential. By analytically decomposing the wave function into the single particle basis, we show the dependency of the pair entanglement on the scattering length. Our results turn out to be in good agreements with earlier results using a quasi-2D geometry.     

Supersolids versus phase separation in two-dimensional lattice bosons

We study the nature of the ground state of the two-dimensional extended boson Hubbard model on a square lattice by quantum Monte Carlo methods. We demonstrate that strong but finite on-site interaction U along with a comparable nearest-neighbor repulsion V result in a thermodynamically stable supersolid ground state for densities larger than 1/2, in contrast to fillings less than 1/2 or for very large U, where the checkerboard supersolid is unstable towards phase separation. We discuss the relevance of our results to realizations of supersolids using cold bosonic atoms in optical lattices.     

Fermions in a Kerr-Newman space-time

The aim of this paper is to put the U(1) -gauge theory of fermions in the spacetime described by a Kerr-Newman metric. The field equations have rather complicated expressions essentially different from the Minkowskian spacetime.     

Investigation of relativistic bosons in the presence of two-dimensional time-dependent harmonic interaction

The Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) equation has been exactly solved for the spin-one particle in the presence of time-dependent harmonic potential in a two dimensional space using the Lewis–Riesenfeld dynamical invariant and unitary transform methods. The dynamical invariant has been constructed and its eigen functions have been obtained. The total wave function as well as the evolution operator have been derived.     

Asymptotic scale invariance in two-dimensional theories: A massive Thirring model with bosons

The exact vanishing of all β functions of the Callan-Symanzik equation is proved in a two-dimensional model with Thirring and gradient couplings: $\text{(}\text{ψ}\text{γ}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{ψ)}{}^2$, $\text{(}\text{ψ}\text{γ}{}^5\text{γ}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{ψ)?}{}^{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{π}$ and $\text{(}\text{ψ}\text{γ}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{ψ)?}{}^{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{σ}$, where ψ, π and σ are fermion, pseudoscalar and scalar massive fields, respectively. The anomalous dimensions of scalar and pseudoscalar fields are also shown to be zero. Then we demonstrate that in two-dimensional models including at most one fermion field, only these three couplings can give asymptotic scale invariance.     

Fermions at a half-quantum vortex

The spectrum of the fermion zero modes in the vicinity of a vortex with fractional winding number is discussed. This is inspired by the observation of the 1/2-vortex in high-temperature superconductors made by [J.R. Kirtley, C.C. Tsuei, M. Rupp et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 1336 (1996)]. The fractional value of the winding number leads to a frac-tional value of the invariant which describes the topology of the energy spectrum of fermions. This results in the phenomenon of the “half-crossing:” the spectrum approaches zero but does not cross it, being captured at the zero energy level. The similarity with the phenomenon of fermion condensation is discussed. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 63, No. 9, 729–734 (10 May 1996) Published in English in the original Russian journal.

Fermions and octonions

We analyse further the algebraic structure of dependent fermions, namely ones interrelated by the vertex operator construction. They are associated with special sorts of lattice systems which are introduced and discussed. The explicit evaluation of the relevant cocycles leads to the result that the operator product expansion of the fermions is related in a precise way to one or another of the division algebras given by complex numbers, quaternions or octonions. The latter case is seen to be realised in the light cone formalism of superstring theory.     

Tangent Fermions: Dirac or Majorana Fermions on a Lattice Without Fermion Doubling

Methods to discretize the Hamiltonian of a topological insulator or topological superconductor, without giving up on the topological protection of the massless excitations (respectively, Dirac fermions or Majorana fermions) are reviewed. The method of tangent fermions, pioneered by Richard Stacey, is singled out as being uniquely suited for this purpose. Tangent fermions propagate on a $2+1$ dimensional space-time lattice with a tangent dispersion: ${\tan }^2(\mathit{\epsilon }/2)={\tan }^2(k_x/2)+{\tan }^2(k_y/2)$ in dimensionless units. They avoid the fermion doubling lattice artefact that will spoil the topological protection, while preserving the fundamental symmetries of the Dirac Hamiltonian. Although the discretized Hamiltonian is nonlocal, as required by the fermion-doubling no-go theorem, it is possible to transform the wave equation into a generalized eigenproblem that is local in space and time. Applications that are discussed include Klein tunneling of Dirac fermions through a potential barrier, the absence of localization by disorder, the anomalous quantum Hall effect in a magnetic field, and the thermal metal of Majorana fermions.

It is shown that the interaction of bosons in a random potential in certain cases provides extended states.     

Lattice bosons in a quasi-disordered environment

In this paper, we study non-interacting bosons in a quasi-disordered one-dimensional optical lattice in a harmonic potential. We consider the case of deterministic quasi-disorder produced by an Aubry–André potential. Using exact diagonalization, we investigate both the zero temperature and the finite temperature properties. We investigate the localization properties by using an entanglement measure. We find that the extreme sensitivity of the localization properties to the number of lattice sites in finite size closed chains disappear in open chains. This feature continues to be present in the presence of a harmonic confining potential. The quasi-disorder is found to strongly reduce the Bose–Einstein condensation temperature and the condensate fraction in open chains. The low temperature thermal depletion rate of the condensate fraction increases considerably with increasing quasi-disorder strength. We also find that the critical quasi-disorder strength required for localization increases with increasing strength of the harmonic potential. Further, we find that the low temperature condensate fraction undergoes a sharp drop to 0.5 in the localization transition region. The temperature dependence of the specific heat is found to be only marginally affected by the quasi-disorder.     

大粒子数二维硬核玻色子系统的量子蒙特卡罗模拟

采用随机级数展开的量子蒙特卡罗方法研究二维硬核的玻色-赫伯德模型的热力学性质. 首先通过算符变换将模型映射成为二维反铁磁准海森伯模型. 变换后的模型比通常的海森伯模型多一项, 该项正比于系统的格点总数 N, 对于大粒子数的系统, 该项使模拟耗时指数增加, 所以难以计算大粒子数系统.采用非局域操作循环更新后, 这个困难可以得到很好的解决, 可使粒子数总数增大到几千个.研究结果表明, 粒子数密度在0-0.5范围内增大时, 能量呈递减趋势, 并趋于某一定值, 随着正方晶格系统尺度增大, 能量也随之增大;正方晶格系统尺度一定时, 能量和磁化强度随着温度的升高而增大, 化学势的变化对能量和磁化强度没有影响, 能量随着正方晶格系统尺度增大而增大, 磁化强度却随之减小;正方晶格系统尺度一定时, 化学势的增大对比热没有影响, 随着温度的升高比热出现先增大后减小的趋势, 最后趋于某个值, 达到平衡, 而正方晶格系统尺度越大, 比热曲线增大部分的趋势越大, 减小部分的趋势也更明显, 参照朗道超流理论, 本文模拟的能量和比热曲线趋势与朗道二流体模型下He II的理论研究一致; 不同正方晶格系统尺度的影响不大, 均匀磁化率倒数在0-0.5(J/k_B)的低温范围内有很小的波动, J为耦合能, k_B为玻尔兹曼常数, 温度在0.5-2 (J/k_B)的范围内, 均匀磁化率的倒数随着温度的升高而增大, 且曲线的趋势显示了一种类似近藤行为.
