We derive a kinetic theory for a spin-1/2 Bose-condensed gas of two-level atoms at finite temperatures. The condensate dynamics is described by a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation for the two-component spinor order parameter, which…
In conformal field theory, key properties of spin-1/2 chains, such as the ground state energy per site and the excitation gap scale with dimerization delta as delta^alpha with known exponents alpha and logarithmic corrections. The…
The phase transition for the $(2+1)$-dimensional spin-$S=1$ $XY$ model was investigated numerically. Because of the boson-vortex duality, the spin stiffness $\rho_s$ in the ordered phase and the vortex-condensate stiffness $\rho_v$ 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…
An S=1/2 anti-ferromagnetic spin chain is mapped to the two-flavor massless Schwinger model, which admits a gapless mode. In a spin ladder system rung interactions break the chiral invariance. These systems are solved by bosonization. If…
We derive upper bounds for spin velocity in half-integer-spin Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chains. We relate these upper bounds to the instability of the gapless state, which is observed in frustrated systems.
From general arguments, that are valid for spin models with sufficiently short-range interactions, we derive strong constraints on the excitation spectrum across a continuous phase transition at zero temperature between a magnetic and a…
Applying the bosonization procedure to weakly coupled Hubbard chains we discuss the fixed points of the renormalization group flow where all spin excitations are gapful and a singlet pairing becomes the dominant instability.
The spin-$1/2$ chain with antiferromagnetic exchange $J_1$ and $J_2 = \alpha J_1$ between first and second neighbors, respectively, has both gapless and gapped ($\Delta(\alpha) > 0$) quantum phases at frustration $0 \le \alpha \le 3/4$. The…
We develop a novel bosonic mean field theory to describe the spiral phases of a Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a one-dimensional chain, in terms of three bosons at each site. The ground state is disordered and for large values of the spin…
Semiclassical approach has been developed for the one-dimensional interacting fermion systems. Starting from the incommensurate spin density wave (SDW) mean field state for the repulsive Hubbard model in 1D, the non-Abelian bosonized…
We investigate the quantum phases of a frustrated antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin-1/2 model Hamiltonian on a Kagome-strip chain (KSC), a one-dimensional analogue of the Kagome lattice, and construct its phase diagram in an extended…
We consider bosons at Landau level filling $\nu=1$ on a thin torus. In analogy with previous work on fermions at filling $\nu =1/2$, we map the low-energy sector onto a spin-1/2 chain. While the fermionic system may realize the gapless…
Motivated by the indication of a new critical theory for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model with a spatially staggered anisotropy on the square lattice as suggested in \cite{Wenzel08}, we re-investigate the phase transition of this model induced…
We consider the effects of interactions on the nature of spinon excitations in Heisenberg spin-1/2 chains. We explicitly compute the two-spinon part of the longitudinal structure factor of the infinite chain in zero field for all values of…
In this work we study the canonical quantization of a second-order pseudo-Hermitian field theory for massive spin-1 bosons transforming under the $(1,0)\oplus(0,1)$ representation of the restricted Lorentz Group and satisfying the…

The ground state of a one-dimensional Hubbard model with a bond-charge attraction W term at half-filling is investigated by the density matrix renormalization group method. It is confirmed that the spin gap will be closed at U>8W. But the…
We present a unified account for the coupled single-hole- and spin-dynamics in the spin-gap phase of dimerized and frustrated spin-chains and two-leg spin ladders. Based on the strong dimer-limit of a one-dimensional $t_123$-$J_123$-model a…
We establish dimerization in $O(n)$-invariant quantum spin chains with big enough $n$, in a large part of the phase diagram where this result is expected. This includes identifying two distinct ground states which are translations of one…
