SU(N) Self-Dual Sine-Gordon Model and Competing Orders
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. We investigate the low-energy properties of a generalized quantum sine-Gordon model in one dimension with a self-dual symmetry. This model describes a class of quantum phase transitions that stems from the competition of different orders. This SU(N ) self-dual sine-Gordon model is shown to be equivalent to an SO(N )2 conformal field theory perturbed by a current-current interaction, which is related to an integrable fermionic model introduced by Andrei and Destri. In the context of spin-chain problems, we give several realizations of this self-dual sine-Gordon model and discuss the universality class of the transitions.

Nature of the deconfining phase transition in the 2+1-dimensional SU(N) Georgi-Glashow model
The nature of the deconfining phase transition in the 2+1-dimensional SU(N) GeorgiGlashow model is investigated. Within the dimensional-reduction hypothesis, the properties of the transition are described by a two-dimensional vectorial Coulomb gas models of electric and magnetic charges. The resulting critical properties are governed by a generalized SU(N) sine-Gordon model with self-dual symme...
متن کاملShort Distance Expansions of Correlation Functions in the Sine-Gordon Theory
We examine the two-point correlation functions of the fields exp(iαΦ) in the sine-Gordon theory at all values of the coupling constantˆβ. Using conformal perturbation theory, we write down explicit integral expressions for every order of the short distance expansion. Using a novel technique analagous to dimensional regularisation, we evaluate these integrals for the first few orders finding exp...
متن کاملFinite size effects and the supersymmetric sine-Gordon models
We propose nonlinear integral equations to describe the groundstate energy of the fractional supersymmetric sine-Gordonmodels. The equations encompass theN = 1 supersymmetric sine-Gordonmodel as well as the φid,id,adj perturbation of the SU(2)L×SU(2)K/SU(2)L+K models at rational level K. A second set of equations are proposed for the groundstate energy of the N = 2 supersymmetric sine-Gordon mo...
متن کاملCritical Boundary Sine-Gordon Revisited
We revisit the exact solution of the two space-time dimensional quantum field theory of a free massless boson with a periodic boundary interaction and self-dual period. We analyze the model by using a mapping to free fermions with a boundary mass term originally suggested in ref. [22]. We find that the entire SL(2,C) family of boundary states of a single boson are boundary sine-Gordon states an...
متن کاملA nonlocal Poisson bracket of the sine-Gordon model
It is well known that the classical string on a two-sphere is more or less equivalent to the sine-Gordon model. We consider a system which can be understood as a T-dual to the classical string on a two-sphere. We show that there is a projection map from the phase space of this model to the phase space of the sine-Gordon model. The corresponding Poisson structure of the sine-Gordon model is nonl...
