Reflection Positivity for Majoranas
نویسندگان
چکیده
We establish reflection positivity for Gibbs trace states defined by a certain class of Hamiltonians that describe the interaction of Majoranas on a lattice. These Hamiltonians may include many-body interactions, as long as the signs of the associated coupling constants satisfy certain restrictions. We show that reflection positivity holds on an even subalgebra of Majoranas.

Vortex loops and Majoranas
We investigate the role that vortex loops play in characterizing eigenstates of interacting Majoranas. We give some general results and then focus on ladder Hamiltonian examples as a test of further ideas. Two methods yield exact results: (i) A mapping of certain spin Hamiltonians to quartic interactions of Majoranas shows that the spectra of these two examples coincide. (ii) In cases with refl...
متن کاملComplex Classical Fields: a Framework for Reflection Positivity
We explore a framework for complex classical fields, appropriate for describing quantum field theories. Our fields are linear transformations on a Hilbert space, so they are more general than random variables for a probability measure. Our method generalizes Osterwalder and Schrader’s construction of Euclidean fields. We allow complex-valued classical fields in the case of quantum field theorie...
متن کاملReflection Positivity and Monotonicity
We prove general reflection positivity results for both scalar fields and Dirac fields on a Riemannian manifold, and comment on applications to quantum field theory. As another application, we prove the inequality CD ≤ CN between Dirichlet and Neumann covariance operators on a manifold with a reflection.
متن کاملSpherical Reflection Positivity and the Hardy-littlewood-sobolev Inequality
The well-known functions on R , f(x) = c(b + |x − a|2)−p, where a ∈ R , b > 0 and c > 0, appear as the optimizers in some classical functional inequalities, notably the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev (HLS) inequality and its dual, the Sobolev inequality. Given their ubiquity, these functions must be endowed with some special property, and this was identified by Y. Y. Li and M. J. Zhu [21]. It is the ...

We prove the most general reflection positivity results for both scalar fields and Dirac fields on a Riemannian manifold, and comment on applications to quantum field theory. As another application, we prove the inequality C D ≤ C N between Dirichlet and Neumann covariance operators on a manifold with a reflection.
