The su(2|3) Dynamic Spin Chain

چکیده
The complete one-loop, planar dilatation operator of the N = 4 superconformal gauge theory was recently derived and shown to be integrable. Here, we present further compelling evidence for a generalisation of this integrable structure to higher orders of the coupling constant. For that we consider the su(2|3) subsector and investigate the restrictions imposed on the spin chain Hamiltonian by the symmetry algebra. This allows us to uniquely fix the energy shifts up to the three-loop level and thus prove the correctness of a conjecture in hep-th/0303060. A novel aspect of this spin chain model is that the higher-loop Hamiltonian, as for N = 4 SYM in general, does not preserve the number of spin sites. Yet this dynamic spin chain appears to be integrable.

The su ( 2 | 2 ) Dynamic S - Matrix
We derive and investigate the S-matrix for the su(2|3) dynamic spin chain and for planar N = 4 super Yang-Mills. Due to the large amount of residual symmetry in the excitation picture, the S-matrix turns out to be fully constrained up to an overall phase. We carry on by diago-nalising it and obtain Bethe equations for periodic states. This proves an earlier proposal for the asymptotic Bethe equ...
متن کاملThe su(2|3) Undynamic Spin Chain
The integrable spin chain found in perturbative planar N = 4 supersymmetric gauge theory is dynamic. Here we propose a reformulation which removes the dynamic effects in order to make the model more accessible to an algebraic treatment.

We study the quantum critical phase of an SU(2) symmetric spin-2 chain obtained from spin-2 bosons in a one-dimensional lattice. We obtain the scaling of the finite-size energies and entanglement entropy by exact diagonalization and density-matrix renormalization group methods. From the numerical results of the energy spectra, central charge, and scaling dimension we identify the conformal fiel...
متن کاملSpin chain sigma models with fermions
The complete one-loop planar dilatation operator of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills is isomorphic to the hamiltonian of an integrable PSU(2, 2|4) quantum spin chain. We construct the non-linear sigma models describing the continuum limit of the SU(1|3) and SU(2|3) sectors of the complete N = 4 chain. We explicitely identify the spin chain sigma model with the one for a superstring moving in AdS...
متن کاملAnd Su(3)-invariant Spin Chains
We formulate the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equations for the closed (periodic boundary conditions) A (2) 2 quantum spin chain in an external magnetic field, in the (noncritical) regime where the anisotropy parameter η is real. In the limit η → 0, we recover the TBA equations of the antiferromagnetic su(3)-invariant chain in the fundamental representation. We solve these equations for low...
