We study the entanglement Hamiltonian for the ground state of one-dimensional free fermions in the presence of an inhomogeneous chemical potential. In particular, we consider a lattice with a linear, as well as a continuum system with a…
The relationship between the eigenspectrum of Ising and XY quantum chains is well known. Although the Ising model has a $Z(2)$ symmetry and the XY model a $U(1)$ symmetry, both models are described in terms of free-fermionic…
We introduce a new a family of $Z(N)$ multispins quantum chains with a free-fermionic ($N=2$) or free-parafermionic ($N>2$) eigenspectrum. The models have $(p+1)$ interacting spins ($p=1,2,\dots$), being Hermitian in the $Z(2)$ (Ising) case…
In the first part of this paper, we study the spin-S Kitaev model using spin wave theory. We discover a remarkable geometry of the minimum energy surface in the N-spin space. The classical ground states, called Cartesian or CN-ground…
We show that infinite families of non-relativistic spin-$3$ symmetries in $2+1$ dimensions, which include higher-spin extensions of the Bargmann, Newton-Hooke, non-relativistic Maxwell, and non-relativistic AdS-Lorentz algebras, can be…
We obtain through a Matrix Product Ansatz the exact solution of the most general inhomogeneous spin chain with nearest neighbor interaction and with $U(1)^2$ and $U(1)^3$ symmetries. These models are related to the one loop mixing matrix of…
N = 6 superconformal Chern-Simons theory was proposed as gauge theory dual to Type IIA string theory on AdS4*CP3. We study integrability of the theory from conformal dimension spectrum of single trace operators at planar limit. At strong `t…
We consider heterotic string theories compactified on a K3 surface which lead to an unbroken perturbative gauge group of Spin(32)/Z2. All solutions obtained are combinations of two types of point-like instanton --- one ``simple type'' as…
It is well known that quantum-mechanical perturbation theory often give rise to divergent series that require proper resummation. Here I discuss simple ways in which these divergences can be avoided in the first place. Using the elementary…
We propose a universal non-linear sigma model field theory for one dimensional frustrated ferromagnets, which applies in the vicinity of a "quantum Lifshitz point", at which the ferromagnetic state develops a spin wave instability. We…
In this paper we study general properties of noncommutative field theories obtained from the Seiberg-Witten limit of string theories in the presence of an external B-field. We analyze the extension of the Wightman axioms to this context and…
In \cite{Nac2,Nac1} Nachtergaele obtained explicit lower bounds for the spectral gap above many frustration free quantum spin chains by using the ``martingale method''. We present simple improvements to his main bounds which allow one to…
We propose a few tests of Seiberg-Witten solutions of $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories by the instanton calculus in twisted gauge theories. We re-examine the low-energy effective abelian theory in the presence of sources and…
Higher spin extensions of nonabelian gauge symmetries for both free fermionic model and WZNW model are considered on a classical level. It is characteristic property of the WZNW model that the higher spin currents which correspond to linear…
The properties of the ground state of one of the simplest models of frustrated magnetic systems, a dilute Ising chain in a magnetic field, are considered for all values of the concentration of charged non-magnetic impurities. An analytical…
We conjecture exact and simple formulas for physical quantities in two quantum chains. A classic result of this type is Onsager, Kaufman and Yang's formula for the spontaneous magnetization in the Ising model, subsequently generalized to…
One of the possible approaches to the construction of massive higher spin interactions is to use their gauge invariant description based on the introduction of the appropriate set of Stueckelberg fields. Recently, the general properties of…
We show that the effective field equations for a recently formulated polynomial affine model of gravity, in the sector of a torsion-free connection, accept general Einstein manifolds---with or without cosmological constant---as solutions.…
Describing and understanding the consequences of competing interactions remains profoundly challenging in both classical and quantum systems, as it is difficult to identify suitable order parameters, thereby hindering the characterization…
