We show that the Green's function of a two dimensional fermion with a modified dispersion relation and short distance parameter $a$ is given by the Lerch zeta function. The Green's function is defined on a cylinder of radius R and we show…
Using equivalencies between different models we reduce the model of two spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains crossed at one point to the model of free fermions. The spin-spin correlation function is calculated by summing the perturbation series in…

We consider a chain of spinful fermions with nearest neighbor hopping in the presence of a $XY$ antiferromagnetic interaction. The $XY$ term is mapped onto a Kitaev chain at half-filling such that displays a bosonic zero mode topologically…

A spin-1/2 $XY$ chain model of magnetoelectric on a zigzag chain is considered rigorously. The magnetoelectric coupling is described within the Katsura-Nagaosa-Balatsky mechanism. In the zigzag geometry it leads to the staggered…
We apply the rotation-invariant Green's function method to study the finite-temperature properties of a $S{=}1/2$ sawtooth-chain (also called $\Delta$-chain) antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model at the fully frustrated point when the exchange…
A numerical approach to the study of equilibrium statistical properties of spin-1/2 XY chains is suggested. The approach is illustrated by the examining of influence of disorder on transverse dynamical susceptibility of spin-1/2 Ising chain…
The XY Heisenberg spin 1/2 chain is considered in the fermion representation. The construction of the ground state-vector is based on the group-theoretical approach. The exact expression for the ground state-vector will allow to study the…
The Jordan-Wigner transformation is traditionally applied to one dimensional systems, but recent works have generalized the transformation to fermionic lattice systems in higher dimensions while keeping locality manifest. These developments…
We study a rotation invariant Majorana fermion model in one dimension using diagrammatic perturbation theory and numerical diagonalization of small systems. The model is inspired by a Majorana representation of the antiferromagnetic…
