Multicanonical Study of Continuum Physics in the D=2 O(3) Nonlinear Sigma Model
نویسنده
چکیده
Employing a variant of the Multicanonical Ensemble we study twisted spin configurations on periodic boxes in the D = 2 O(3) non-linear sigma model for β-values inbetween 1.55 to 3.1. The free energy difference of twisted spin configurations is determined from the constraint effective potential. The finite size scaling behavior is in accordance with the asymptotically free nature of the continuum theory. Upon certain reasonable assumptions we determine the ∆β(β)-shift of the stiffness correlation length ξ s. The mass-gap as determined by our analysis is m 0 = 79.6(1.9) Λ latt. This value agrees with the analytical result of the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz m 0 = 80.1 Λ latt .

Existence of Confinement Phase in Quantum Electrodynamics
We show that the four-dimensional U(1) gauge theory in the continuum formulation has a confining phase (exhibiting area law of the Wilson loop) in the strong coupling region above a critical coupling gc. This result is obtained by taking into account topological non-trivial sectors in U(1) gauge theory. The derivation is based on the reformulation of gauge theory as a deformation of a topologic...
متن کاملParticle Content of the Nonlinear Sigma Model with θ-Term: a Lattice Model Investigation
Using new as well as known results on dimerized quantum spin chains with frustration, we are able to infer some properties on the low-energy spectrum of the O(3) Nonlinear Sigma Model with a topological θ-term. In particular, for sufficiently strong coupling, we find a range of values of θ where a singlet bound state is stable under the triplet continuum. On the basis of these results, we propo...

We simulated the Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass model in three dimensions via the recently proposed multicanonical ensemble. Physical quantities such as energy density, specific heat and entropy are evaluated at all temperatures. We studied their finite size scaling, as well as the zero temperature limit to explore the ground state properties. This research project was partially funded by th...

The (2+1) dimensional gauged O(3) nonlinear sigma model with Chern-Simons term is canonically quantized. Furthermore, we study a nonminimal coupling in this model implemented by means of a Pauli-type term. It is shown that the set of constraints of the model is modified by the introduction of the Pauli coupling. Moreover, we found that the quantum commutator relations in the nominimal case is i...

We comment on the recent paper by Balog and Niedermaier [1]. Balog and Niedermaier’s scaling hypothesis for the spectral densities in the O(3) nonlinear σ model [1] does not seem to be supported by the Monte Carlo data. As we showed in a recent paper [2], the numerics indicate that the continuum limit of the lattice O(3) σ model agrees as well with the S-matrix prediction [3] as with the contin...
