The "topological" charge for the finite XX quantum chain

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

It is shown that an operator (in general non-local) commutes with the Hamiltonian describing the finite XX quantum chain with certain non-diagonal boundary terms. In the infinite volume limit this operator gives the "topological" charge.
