The XY Model Coupled to Two-Dimensional Quantum Gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
We perform Monte Carlo simulations using the Wolff cluster algorithm of the XY model on both fixed and dynamical phi-cubed graphs (i.e. without and with coupling to two-dimensional quantum gravity). We compare the numerical results with the theoretical expectation that the phase transition remains of KT type when the XY model is coupled to gravity. We also examine whether the universality we discovered in our earlier work on various Potts models with the same value of the central charge, c, carries over to the XY model, which has c = 1. Submitted to Phys Lett B.

Jordan-Wigner fermionization for the one-dimensional Bariev model of three coupled XY chains
The Jordan-Wigner fermionization for the one-dimensional Bariev model of three coupled XY chains is formulated. The Lax operator in terms of fermion operators and the quantum R-matrix are presented explicitly. Furthermore, the graded reflection equations and their solutions are discussed.
متن کاملExtending the Theory of Random Surfaces Appendix: Random Lattices and Matrix Models 28
The theory of embedded random surfaces, equivalent to two–dimensional quantum gravity coupled to matter, is reviewed, further developed and partly generalized to four dimensions. It is shown that the action of the Liouville field theory that describes random surfaces contains terms that have not been noticed previously. These terms are used to explain the phase diagram of the Sine–Gordon model ...
متن کاملIntegrable open boundary conditions for the Bariev model of three coupled XY spin chains
The integrable open-boundary conditions for the Bariev model of three coupled one-dimensional XY spin chains are studied in the framework of the boundary quantum inverse scattering method. Three kinds of diagonal boundary K-matrices leading to nine classes of possible choices of boundary fields are found and the corresponding integrable boundary terms are presented explicitly. The boundary Hami...
متن کاملThe two - point function of c = − 2 matter coupled to 2 D quantum gravity
We construct a reparametrization invariant two-point function for c = −2 conformal matter coupled to two-dimensional quantum gravity. From the two-point function we extract the critical indices ν and η. The results support the quantum gravity version of Fisher's scaling relation. Our approach is based on the transfer matrix formalism and exploits the formulation of the c = −2 string as an O(n) ...
متن کاملScaling Dimensions of Manifestly Generally Covariant Operators in Two-Dimensional Quantum Gravity
Using (2+ǫ)-dimensional quantum gravity recently formulated by Kawai, Kitazawa and Ninomiya, we calculate the scaling dimensions of manifestly generally covariant operators in two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to (p, q) minimal conformal matter. Although the spectrum includes all the scaling dimensions of the scaling operators in the matrix model except the boundary operators, there are a...
