SU($n$)链中分数瞬子的质量产生

Mass generation by fractional instantons in SU($n$) chains

Kyle Wamer, Ian Affleck

摘要:

最近,Halfman关于SU(2)链的猜想被推广到对称表象下的SU($n$)链.对于秩- $p$表示,当$p$和$n$互质时,预测无带隙相位;否则,在基态上方存在有限能隙。在这项工作中,我们提供了一个直观的解释,这种行为的基础上分数拓扑激发,这是能够产生一个质量间隙,除了当$p$和$n$没有公约数。这是SU(2)中一个较早工作的推广,它用O(3)非线性西格玛模型中的merons解释了Halfenge能隙的产生。

英文摘要:

Recently, Haldane's conjecture about SU(2) chains has been generalized to SU($n$) chains in the symmetric representations. For a rank-$p$ representation, a gapless phase is predicted when $p$ and $n$ are coprime; otherwise, a finite energy gap is present above the ground state. In this work, we offer an intuitive explanation of this behavior based on fractional topological excitations, which are able to generate a mass gap except when $p$ and $n$ have no common divisor. This is a generalization of an older work in SU(2), which explains the generation of the Haldane gap in terms of merons in the O(3) nonlinear sigma model.
