Quantum Vorticity at positive temperature for spin systems with continuous symmetry

Mathematical Physics 2017-04-26 v1 math.MP

Abstract

We propose a definition of vorticity at inverse temperature β\beta for Gibbs states in quantum XY or Heisenberg spin systems on the lattice by testing exp[βH]\exp[-\beta H] on a complete set of observables ("one-point functions"). Imposing a compression of Pauli matrices at the boudary, which stands for the classical environment, we perform some numerical simulations on finite lattices in case of XY model, which exhibit usual vortex patterns.
