We consider discrete spin models on arbitrary planar graphs and lattices with frustrated interactions. We first analyze the Ising model with frustrated plaquettes. We use an algebraic approach to derive the result that an Ising model with…
We present the results of a detailed calculation of the excitation spectrum of states with quantum numbers J^{PC}=0++, 1-- and 2++ in the three-dimensional SU(2) Higgs model at two values of the scalar self-coupling and for fixed gauge…
We present details of the analytic computation of the spectrum of lowest spin glueballs in pure Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions. The new ingredient is provided by the conjectured new non-trivial expression for the (quasi)Gaussian part…
Four-dimensional state space geometry is worked out for the exactly solved one-dimensional spin-3/2 lattice with a Blume-Emery-Griffiths (BEG) Hamiltonian as well as a more general one with a term containing a non-zero field coupling to the…
Relying on an effective-string approach in which glueballs --- bound states of pure Yang-Mills theory --- are modelled by closed strings, we give arguments suggesting that anyonic glueballs, \textit{i.e.} glueballs with arbitrary spin, may…
The pure gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions is explored, through both a phenomenological model and a lattice calculation. The Isgur-Paton model is extended to include a curvature term and various mixing mechanisms. The method of inferential…
We develop a new theoretical framework for describing and analyzing exotic phases of strongly correlated electrons which support excitations with fractional quantum numbers. Starting with a class of microscopic models believed to capture…
Non-perturbative aspects of the physics of $Sp(2N)$ gauge theories are interesting for phenomenological and theoretical reasons, and little studied so far, particularly in the approach to the large-$N$ limit. We examine the spectrum of…
Using the conventional $T$-matrix approach, we discuss gapped phases in 1D, 2D, and 3D spin systems (both with and without a long range magnetic order) with bond disorder and with weakly interacting bosonic elementary excitations. This work…
We present a new linked cluster expansion for calculating properties of multiparticle excitation spectra to high orders. We use it to obtain the two-particle spectra for systems of coupled spin-half dimers. We find that even for weakly…
Recent numerical calculations of the glueball spectrum in QCD, in SU($N$) Yang-Mills theory in the large-$N$ limit and in candidate theories of strongly interacting dynamics beyond the standard model (in which the lowest-lying scalar plays…
We relate two classical dualities in low-dimensional quantum field theory: Kramers-Wannier duality of the Ising and related lattice models in $2$ dimensions, with electromagnetic duality for finite gauge theories in $3$ dimensions. The…
We reexamine Bethe ansatz solutions of the massive Thirring model. We solve equations of periodic boundary conditions numerically without referring to the density of states. It is found that there is only one bound state in the massive…
Three magnon bound states in all total spin sectors of general nonintegrable exactly rung-dimerized spin ladder are obtained by Bethe Ansatz. Basing on this result a dispersion law for $m$-magnon ($m>3$) bound states is conjectured. It is…
We consider the non-unitary Lee-Yang minimal model ${\cal M}(2,5)$ in three different finite geometries: (i) on the interval with integrable boundary conditions labelled by the Kac labels $(r,s)=(1,1),(1,2)$, (ii) on the circle with…
The Bethe Ansatz equations for the one-dimensional Hubbard model are reexamined. A new procedure is introduced to properly include bound states. The corrected equations lead to new elementary excitations away from half-filling.
Using a recent strategy to encode the space of flat connections on a three-manifold with string-like defects into the space of flat connections on a so-called 2d Heegaard surface, we propose a novel way to define gauge invariant bases for…
A major result of the Effective String Theory (EST) description of confinement is the so called "low energy universality," which states that the first few terms of the large distance expansion of any EST are universal and coincide with…
We study pure SU(3) gauge theory on a large lattice, using Schrodinger's equation. Our approximate solution uses a basis of roughly 1000 states. Gauge invariance is recovered when the color content of the ground state is extrapolated to…
A nonuniform extension of the Glauber model on a one-dimensional lattice with boundaries is investigated. Based on detailed balance, reaction rates are proposed for the system. The static behavior of the system is investigated. It is shown…
