Finite Braid Groups for the SU(2) Knizhnik Zamolodchikov Equation
1995
We consider the monodromy representations of the mapping class group B 4 of the 2-sphere with 4 punctures acting in the solutions space of the zu(2) Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation [3] (note that the monodromy representations of the braid group have a more general geometric definition [4]).
Quantum criticality on a chiral ladder: An SU(2) infinite density matrix renormalization group study
2019
In this paper we study the ground-state properties of a ladder Hamiltonian with chiral $\text{SU}(2)$-invariant spin interactions, a possible first step toward the construction of truly two-dimensional nontrivial systems with chiral properties starting from quasi-one-dimensional ones. Our analysis uses a recent implementation by us of $\text{SU}(2)$ symmetry in tensor network algorithms, specifically for infinite density matrix renormalization group. After a preliminary analysis with Kadanoff coarse graining and exact diagonalization for a small-size system, we discuss its bosonization and recap the continuum limit of the model to show that it corresponds to a conformal field theory, in agr…
Unitary Groups Acting on Grassmannians Associated with a Quadratic Extension of Fields
2006
Let (V, H) be an anisotropic Hermitian space of finite dimension over the algebraic closure of a real closed field K. We determine the orbits of the group of isometries of (V, H) in the set of K-subspaces of V . Throughout the paper K denotes a real closed field and K its algebraic closure. Then it is well known (see, for example, [4, Chapter 2], [23]; see also [8]) that K = K(i) with i = √−1. Also we let (V,H) be an anisotropic Hermitian space (with respect to the involution underlying the quadratic field extension K/K) of finite dimension n over K. In this context we consider the natural action of the unitary group U = U(V,H) of isometries of (V,H) on the set Xd of all ddimensional K-subs…
A candidate for a noncompact quantum group
1996
A previous letter (Bidegain, F. and Pinczon, G:Lett. Math. Phys.33 (1995), 231–240) established that the star-product approach of a quantum group introduced by Bonneau et al. can be extended to a connected locally compact semisimple real Lie group. The aim of the present Letter is to give an example of what a noncompact quantum group could be. From half of the discrete series ofSL(2,\(\mathbb{R}\)), a new type of quantum group is explicitly constructed.
Mapping the geometry of the F(4) group.
2007
In this paper we present a construction of the compact form of the exceptional Lie group F4 by exponentiating the corresponding Lie algebra f4. We realize F4 as the automorphisms group of the exceptional Jordan algebra, whose elements are 3 x 3 hermitian matrices with octonionic entries. We use a parametrization which generalizes the Euler angles for SU(2) and is based on the fibration of F4 via a Spin(9) subgroup as a fiber. This technique allows us to determine an explicit expression for the Haar invariant measure on the F4 group manifold. Apart from shedding light on the structure of F4 and its coset manifold OP2=F4/Spin(9), the octonionic projective plane, these results are a prerequisi…
Lattice Calculation of the Decay of Primordial Higgs Condensate
2015
We study the resonant decay of the primordial Standard Model Higgs condensate after inflation into $SU(2)$ gauge bosons on the lattice. We find that the non-Abelian interactions between the gauge bosons quickly extend the momentum distribution towards high values, efficiently destroying the condensate after the onset of backreaction. For the inflationary scale $H = 10^8$ GeV, we find that 90% of the Higgs condensate has decayed after $n \sim 10$ oscillation cycles. This differs significantly from the Abelian case where, given the same coupling strengths, most of the condensate would persist after the resonance.
Spectroscopy of XY3Z (C3v) radicals with an odd number of electrons: A tensorial formalism adapted to the group chain
2006
Abstract A tensorial formalism adapted to the case of XY 3 Z symmetric tops with half integer angular momenta is proposed as an extension of the formalism for the group chain O (3) ⊃ C ∞ v ⊃ C 3 v developed in a recent paper [A. El Hilali, V. Boudon, M. Loete, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 234 (2005) 113–121]. We use the chain SU ( 2 ) ⊗ C I ⊃ C ∞ v S ⊃ C 3 v S , where G S ( G being C ∞ v or C 3 v ) is the G point group with its spinorial representations. Coupling coefficients and formulas for the computation of matrix elements of the tensor operators are derived for this chain. A deduction of coupling coefficients (Clebsch-Gordan, 6 C , 9 C , …) and similar formulas is proposed for the group C 3 …
Orientation of O(3) and SU(2)⊗CI representations in cubic point groups (Oh,Td) for application to molecular spectroscopy
2003
Abstract We propose a detailed method for the symmetrization of the standard O (3) or SU (2)⊗ C I basis | j τ , m 〉 ( τ = g or u ) into the O h or T d point group. This is realized by means of an orientation matrix called G . The oriented basis obtained in this way allows matrix element calculations for rovibronic spectroscopic problems concerning octahedral or tetrahedral molecules. Particular attention has been put on careful phase choices. A numerical calculation of all the G matrix elements for both integer and half-integer j values up to 399/2 has been performed. Such high angular momentum values are necessary for the case of heavy molecules with high rotational excitation. To calculat…
Deconfinement vs. chiral symmetry and higher representation matter
2012
The interplay of deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration are considered in terms of effective theories. We generalize the earlier model studies by considering fermions in higher representations, and study the finite temperature phase diagrams of SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theories with two fermion flavors in fundamental, adjoint or two-index symmetric representations. We discuss our results in relation to recent lattice simulations on these theories and outline possible applications in the context of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking.
Mott transitions in the half-filled SU(2M) symmetric Hubbard model
2012
The Hubbard model with large orbital degeneracy has recently gained relevance in the context of ultracold earth alkali like atoms. We compute its static properties in the SU(2M) symmetric limit for up to M=8 bands at half filling within dynamical mean-field theory, using the numerically exact multigrid Hirsch-Fye quantum Monte Carlo approach. Based on this unbiased data, we establish scaling laws which predict the phase boundaries of the paramagnetic Mott metal-insulator transition at arbitrary orbital degeneracy M with high accuracy.
