Type-II matrices are a class of matrices used by Jones in his work on spin models. In this paper we show that type-II matrices arise naturally in connection with some interesting combinatorial and geometric structures.
The Jordan-Wigner transformation is a powerful tool for converting systems of spins into systems of fermions, or vice versa. While this mapping is exact, the transformation itself depends on the labeling of the spins. One consequence of…
We construct the unique two-parameter vertex algebra which is freely generated of type ${\mathcal W}(2,4,6,\dots)$, and generated by the weights $2$ and $4$ fields. Subject to some mild constraints, all vertex algebras of type ${\mathcal…
We construct smooth manifolds with order two $\pi_1$ and even intersection forms which are irreducible, meaning they do not decompose into non-trivial connected sums. Their intersection forms being even implies that their universal covers…
At low temperatures, weakly coupled spin chains develop a magnetic order that reflects the character of gapless spin fluctuations along the chains. Using nuclear magnetic resonance, we identify and characterize two ordered states in the…
The hierarchy of Integrable Spin Chain Hamiltonians, which are trigonometric analogs of the Haldane Shastry Model and of the associated higher conserved charges, is derived by a reduction from the trigonometric Dynamical Models of…
A trade in a complex Hadamard matrix is a set of entries which can be changed to obtain a different complex Hadamard matrix. We show that in a real Hadamard matrix of order $n$ all trades contain at least $n$ entries. We call a trade…
We construct a binary mutation invariant for skew-symmetric integer matrices. The invariant is not an integer congruence invariant for matrices of odd size: we provide examples of congruent such matrices with different values for the…
The theory of almost commuting matrices can be used to quantify topological obstructions to the existence of localized Wannier functions with time-reversal symmetry in systems with time-reversal symmetry and strong spin-orbit coupling. We…
The theory of graphical functions is generalized from scalar theories to theories with spin, leading to a numerator structure in Feynman integrals. The main part of this article treats the case of positive integer spin, which is obtained…
We show that Wigner's infinite spin particle classically is described by a reparametrization invariant higher order geometrical Lagrangian. The model exhibit unconventional features like tachyonic behaviour and momenta proportional to…
The matrix models attached to real symmetric matrices and the complex/quaternionic Hermitian matrices have been studied by many authors. These models correspond to three of the simple formally real Jordan algebras over R. Such algebras were…
It was shown that in the small Wigner group there is a one-parameter subgroup of the Lorentz transformations, which leave unchanged not only the momentum of the fermion with spin h/2, but also its spin characteristics. This is the group of…
Hedin's equations for the electron self-energy and the vertex were originally derived for a many-electron system with Coulomb interaction. In recent years it has been increasingly recognized that spin interactions can play a major role in…
The rational Kashiwara-Miwa model is an example of an Ising-type integrable model of the statistical physics, related to the six-vertex trigonometric $R$-matrix. Two-spin edge weights of the model are expressed in the terms of $q$-products,…
We derive two types of Ward identities for the generating functions for invariant integrals of monomials of the fundamental characters for arbitrary simple compact Lie groups. The results are applied to the groups SU(3), Spin(5) and G_2 of…
The so-called Takahashi's \emph{Inversion Theorem}, the reconstruction of a given spinor based on its bilinear covariants, are re-examined, considering alternative dual structures. In contrast to the classical results, where the Dirac dual…
We are able to perform the duality transformation of the spin system which was found before as a lattice realization of the string with linear action. In four and higher dimensions this spin system can be described in terms of a…
We report here an extension of a previous work in which we have shown that matrix models provide a tool to compute the intersection numbers of p-spin curves. We discuss further an extension to half-integer p, and in more details for p=1/2…
We focus on the geometrical reformulation of free higher spin supermultiplets in $4\rm{D},~\mathcal{N}=1$ flat superspace. We find that there is a de Wit-Freedman like hierarchy of superconnections with simple gauge transformations. The…
