Magnetic Translation Groups on an n-dimensional Torus and Their Representations
نویسنده
چکیده
A charged particle in a uniform magnetic field in a two-dimensional torus has a discrete noncommutative translation symmetry instead of a continuous commutative translation symmetry. We study topology and symmetry of a particle in a magnetic field in a torus of arbitrary dimensions. The magnetic translation group (MTG) is defined as a group of translations that leave the gauge field invariant. We show that the MTG on an n-dimensional torus is isomorphic to a central extension of a cyclic group Zν1 ×· · ·×Zν2l ×Tm by U(1) with 2l+m = n. We construct and classify irreducible unitary representations of the MTG on a three-torus and apply the representation theory to three examples. We shortly describe a representation theory for a general n-torus. The MTG on an n-torus can be regarded as a generalization of the so-called noncommutative torus.

متن کاملKronecker products of projective representations of translation groups
Irreducible projective representations of the translation group of a finite N×N two-dimensional lattice can be labeled by symbols 〈n, l;q〉, where N = νn, gcd(l, n) = 1 and q denotes an irreducible representation of Z ν . Obtained matrices are n-dimensional and the factor system of this representation does not depend on q and equals m (l) n ([n1, n2], [n ′ 1, n ′ 2]) = exp(2πi ln2n ′ 1/N). For a...
متن کاملOn the distance eigenvalues of Cayley graphs
In this paper, we determine the distance matrix and its characteristic polynomial of a Cayley graph over a group G in terms of irreducible representations of G. We give exact formulas for n-prisms, hexagonal torus network and cubic Cayley graphs over abelian groups. We construct an innite family of distance integral Cayley graphs. Also we prove that a nite abelian group G admits a connected...
متن کاملPedestrian Solution of the Two-Dimensional Ising Model
The partition function of the two-dimensional Ising model with zero magnetic field on a square lattice with m×n sites wrapped on a torus is computed within the transfer matrix formalism in an explicit stepby-step approach inspired by Kaufman’s work. However, working with two commuting representations of the complex rotation group SO(2n,C) helps us avoid a number of unnecessary complications. We...
متن کاملDistinguished positive regular representations
Let $G$ be a tamely ramified reductive $p$-adic group. We study distinction of a class of irreducible admissible representations of $G$ by the group of fixed points $H$ of an involution of $G$. The representations correspond to $G$-conjugacy classes of pairs $(T,phi)$, where $T$ is a tamely ramified maximal torus of $G$ and $phi$ is a quasicharacter of $T$ whose restriction t...
