To begin with, we introduce several exact models for SU(3) spin chains: (1) a translationally invariant parent Hamiltonian involving four-site interactions for the trimer chain, with a three-fold degenerate ground state. We provide…
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…
The Jordan-Wigner transformation establishes a duality between $su(2)$ and fermionic algebras. We present qualitative arguments and numerical evidence that when mapping spins to fermions, the transformation makes strong correlation weaker,…
We describe a 2d analog of the Jordan-Wigner transformation which maps an arbitrary fermionic system on a 2d lattice to a lattice gauge theory while preserving the locality of the Hamiltonian. When the space is simply-connected, this…
The fermion representation for S = 1/2 spins is generalized to spins with arbitrary magnitudes. The symmetry properties of the representation is analyzed where we find that the particle-hole symmetry in the spinon Hilbert space of S =1/2…

The Jordan-Wigner transformation is applied to study magnetic properties of the quantum spin-1/2 $XX$ model on the diamond chain. Generally, the Hamiltonian of this quantum spin system can be represented in terms of spinless fermions in the…
We investigate a family of spin-S chain Hamiltonians recently introduced by one of us. For S=1/2, it corresponds to the Haldane-Shastry model. For general spin S, we find indication that the low-energy theory of these spin chains is…
We extend the definition of the Jordan-Wigner transformation to three dimensions using the generalization of ideas that were used in the two-dimensional case by one of the present authors. Under this transformation, the 3D XY Hamiltonian is…

In the paper nonlinear transformations of the Jordan-Wigner (JW) type are introduced in the form different from the ones known previously, for the purpose of expressing multi-index Pauli operators in terms of multi-index Fermi creation and…
We study the long wavelength limit of a spin S Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain. The fermionic Lagrangian obtained corresponds to a perturbed level 2S SU(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten model. This effective theory is then mapped into a compact…
We propose a generalization of pseudospin and spin symmetries, the SU(2) symmetries of Dirac equation with scalar and vector mean-field potentials originally found independently in the 70's by Smith and Tassie, and Bell and Ruegg. As…
Recent work has highlighted that the strong correlation inherent in spin Hamiltonians can be effectively reduced by mapping spins to fermions via the Jordan-Wigner transformation (JW). The Hartree-Fock method is straightforward in the…
The familiar spin-1/2 quantum Heisenberg antiferromanget in a 2d square lattice is shown, within the non linear sigma model approximations, to be another novel state of matter that has excitations with fractional quantum numbers above a…
Inspired by recent developments generalizing Jordan-Wigner dualities to higher dimensions, we develop a framework of such dualities using an algebraic formalism for translation-invariant Hamiltonians proposed by Haah. We prove that given a…
We construct finite Dyson boson-fermion mappings of general collective algebras extended by single-fermion operators. A key element in the construction is the implementation of a similarity transformation which transforms boson-fermion…
The Wegner $Z_2$ gauge theory-$Z_2$ Ising spin model duality in $(2+1)$ dimensions is revisited and derived through a series of canonical transformations. The Kramers-Wannier duality is similarly obtained. The Wegner $Z_2$ gauge-spin…
In earlier work we showed how to handle the Group Theoretical issue of the Little Group for spin 1/2 tachyons by introducing a special metric in the Hilbert space of one-particle states. Here that technique is extended to tachyons of any…
