چکیده
We study the strongly coupled 2-flavor lattice Schwinger model and the SU(2)-color QCD2. The strong coupling limit, even with its inherent nonuniversality, makes accurate predictions of the spectrum of the continuum models and provides an intuitive picture of the gauge theory vacuum. The massive excitations of the gauge model are computable in terms of spin-spin correlators of the quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 chain.

Quantum Spin-1/2 Antiferromagnetic Chains and Strongly Coupled Multiflavor Schwinger Models
We review the correspondence between strongly coupled lattice multiflavor Schwinger models and SU(N ) antiferromagnetic chains. We show that finding the low lying states of the gauge models is equivalent to solving an SU(N ) Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain. For the two-flavor lattice Schwinger model the massless excitations correspond to gapless states of the Heisenberg chain, while the mass...
متن کاملOn the Correspondence Between the Strongly Coupled 2-Flavor Lattice Schwinger Model and the Heisenberg Antiferromagnetic Chain
We study the strong coupling limit of the 2-flavor massless Schwinger model on a lattice using staggered fermions and the Hamiltonian approach to lattice gauge theories. Using the correspondence between the low-lying states of the 2-flavor strongly coupled lattice Schwinger model and the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain established in a previous paper, we explicitly compute the mass spectrum ...
متن کاملTheory of spin excitations in undoped and underdoped cuprates
We consider the magnetic properties of high Tc cuprates from a gauge theory point of view, with emphasis on the underdoped regime. Underdoped cuprates possess certain antiferromagnetic correlations, as evidenced, for example, by different temperature dependence of the Cu and O site NMR relaxation rates, that are not captured well by slave boson mean field theories of the t-J model. We show that...
متن کاملCORE Technology and Exact Hamiltonian Real-Space Renormalization Group Transformations
The COntractor REnormalization group (CORE) method, a new approach to solving Hamiltonian lattice systems, is presented. The method defines a systematic and nonperturbative means of implementing KadanoffWilson real-space renormalization group transformations using cluster expansion and contraction techniques. We illustrate the approach and demonstrate its effectiveness using scalar field theory...

We study the strong coupling limit of the one-flavor and two-flavor massless 't Hooft models, large − N c-color QCD 2 , on a lattice. We use staggered fermions and the Hamiltonian approach to lattice gauge theories. We show that the one-flavor model is effectively described by the antiferro-magnetic Ising model, whose ground state is the vacuum of the gauge model in the infinite coupling limit;...
