Universality Class around the SU(3) Symmetric Point of the Dimer-Trimer Spin-1 Chain

Tohru Mashiko, Shunji Moriya, Kiyohide Nomura

英文摘要:

We study critical phenomena of the SU(3) symmetric spin-1 chains when adding the SU(3) asymmetric term. To investigate such system, we numerically diagonalize the Dimer-Trimer (DT) model Hamiltonian around the SU(3) symmetric point, named the pure trimer (PT) point. We analyze our numerical results with the conformal field theory (CFT). First of all, we discover soft modes at the wave number q = 0 and q = 2π/3 for the PT point, and then the system is critical. Secondly, we find that the system at the PT point belongs to the CFT with the central charge c = 2 and the scaling dimension x = 2/3. Finally, by investigating the eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian in the vicinity of the PT point, we find that there is a phase transition at the PT point from a massive phase to a massless phase. From these numerical results, the phase transition at the PT point belongs to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT)-like universality class that is explained by the level-1 SU(3) Wess-Zumino-Witten (SU(3) 1 WZW) model.
