In this paper, we study the ground state of a one-dimensional exactly solvable model with a spiral order. While the model's energy spectra is the same as the one-dimensional transverse field Ising model, its ground state manifests spiral…

SU(3)-invariant "spin" chains with a single impurity, such as a modified exchange coupling on one link, are analyzed using boundary conformal field theory techniques. These chains are equivalent to a special case of the "tJV" model, i.e.…

In the paper a one-dimensional model with nearest - neighbor interactions $I_n, n\in \Z$ and spin values $\pm 1$ is considered. We describe a condition on parametres $I_n$ under which the phase transition occurs. In particular, we show that…

The frustrated spin-1/2 model with weakly anisotropic ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor exchanges is studied with use of variational mean-field approach, scaling estimates of the infrared…

$\mathbb{Z}_4$ parafermions can be realized in a strongly interacting quantum spin Hall Josephson junction or in a spin Hall Josephson junction strongly coupled to an impurity spin. In this paper we study a system that has both features,…

For the one-dimensional Ising chain with spin-$1/2$ and exchange couple $J$ in a steady transverse field(TF), an analytical theory has well been developed in terms of some topological order parameters such as Berry phase(BP). For a TF Ising…

We study a cluster Ising model with non-Hermitian external field which can be exactly solved in the language of free fermions. By investigating the second derivative of energy density and fidelity, the possible new critical points are…

We study parafermion chains with $\mathbb{Z}_k$ symmetry subject to a periodic binary drive. We focus on the case $k=3$. We find that the chains support different Floquet edge modes at nontrivial quasienergies, distinct from those for the…

The Thirring model is a four fermion theory with vector interaction. We study it in three dimensions, where it is closely related to QED and other models used to describe properties of graphene. In addition it is a good toy model to study…

We formulate a $\mathbb{Z}_k$-parafermionization/bosonization scheme for one-dimensional lattice models and field theories on a torus, starting from a generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation on a lattice, which extends the Majorana-Ising…

The Thirring model is a four-fermion theory with a current-current interaction and $U(2N)$ chiral symmetry. It is closely related to three-dimensional QED and other models used to describe properties of graphene. In addition it serves as a…

We study the spin-1/2 chain with nearest neighbor ($\kappa_1$) and next-nearest neighbor ($\kappa_2$) interactions in the regime $\kappa_2\gg \kappa_1$, which is equivalent to two chains with a `zig-zag' interaction. In the continuum limit,…

We present the first results of numerical simulations of a 2+1 dimensional fermion field theory based on a recent proposal for a model of graphene, consisting of N_f four-component Dirac fermions moving in the plane and interacting via an…

S=1/2 quantum spin chains and ladders with random exchange coupling are studied by using an effective low-energy field theory and transfer matrix methods. Effects of the nonlocal correlations of exchange couplings are investigated…

We consider the $M$-neighbor approximation in the problem of one-qubit pure state transfer along the $N$-node zigzag and alternating spin chains governed by the $XXZ$-Hamiltonian with the dipole-dipole interaction. We show that always…

We consider a family of translation-invariant quantum spin chains with nearest-neighbor interactions and derive necessary and sufficient conditions for these systems to be gapped in the thermodynamic limit. More precisely, let $\psi$ be an…

We study the properties of a parity- and time-reversal- (PT) symmetric tight-binding chain of size N with position-dependent hopping amplitude. In contrast to the fragile PT-symmetric phase of a chain with constant hopping and imaginary…

The phase diagram of the quantum spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic $J^{\,}_{1}$-$J^{\,}_{2}$ XXZ chain was obtained by Haldane using bosonization techniques. It supports three distinct phases for $0\leq J^{\,}_{2}/J^{\,}_{1}<1/2$, i.e., a gapless…

We use quantum Monte Carlo simulations to study a quantum $S=1/2$ spin model with competing multi-spin interactions. We find a quantum phase transition between a columnar valence-bond solid (cVBS) and a N\'eel antiferromagnet (AFM), as in…

For two-dimensional lattices in a tight-binding description, the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling, acting as a complex next-nearest-neighbor hopping, opens gaps that exhibit the quantum spin Hall effect. In this paper, we study the effect of a…
