A New Family of Integrable Extended Multi-band Hubbard Hamiltonians

We consider exactly solvable 1d multi-band fermionic Hamiltonians, which have affine quantum group symmetry for all values of the deformation. The simplest Hamiltonian is a multi-band t-J model with vanishing spin-spin interaction, which is the affinization of an underlying XXZ model. We also find a multi-band generalization of standard t-J model Hamiltonian.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX file, no figure

Supersymmetry on Jacobstahl lattices

It is shown that the construction of Yang and Fendley (2004 {\it J. Phys. A: Math.Gen. {\bf 37}} 8937) to obtainsupersymmetric systems, leads not to the open XXZ chain with anisotropy $\Delta =-{1/2}$ but to systems having dimensions given by Jacobstahl sequences.For each system the ground state is unique. The continuum limit of the spectra of the Jacobstahl systems coincide, up to degeneracies, with that of the $U_q(sl(2))$ invariant XXZ chain for $q=\exp(i\pi/3)$. The relation between the Jacobstahl systems and the open XXZ chain is explained.Comment: 6 pages, 0 figure

Spin Chain Hamiltonians with Affine UqgU_q g symmetry

We construct the family of spin chain Hamiltonians, which have affine $U_q g$ guantum group symmetry. Their eigenvalues coincides with the eigenvalues of the usual spin chain Hamiltonians which have non-affine $U_q g_0$ quantum group symmetry, but have the degeneracy of levels, corresponding to affine $U_q g$. The space of states of these chaines are formed by the tensor product of the fully reducible representations.Comment: 10 pages, LATE

Non-contractible loops in the dense O(n) loop model on the cylinder

A lattice model of critical dense polymers $O(0)$ is considered for the finite cylinder geometry. Due to the presence of non-contractible loops with a fixed fugacity $\xi$, the model is a generalization of the critical dense polymers solved by Pearce, Rasmussen and Villani. We found the free energy for any height $N$ and circumference $L$ of the cylinder. The density $\rho$ of non-contractible loops is found for $N \rightarrow \infty$ and large $L$. The results are compared with those obtained for the anisotropic quantum chain with twisted boundary conditions. Using the latter method we obtained $\rho$ for any $O(n)$ model and an arbitrary fugacity.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:0810.223

A refined Razumov-Stroganov conjecture II

We extend a previous conjecture [cond-mat/0407477] relating the Perron-Frobenius eigenvector of the monodromy matrix of the O(1) loop model to refined numbers of alternating sign matrices. By considering the O(1) loop model on a semi-infinite cylinder with dislocations, we obtain the generating function for alternating sign matrices with prescribed positions of 1's on their top and bottom rows. This seems to indicate a deep correspondence between observables in both models.Comment: 21 pages, 10 figures (3 in text), uses lanlmac, hyperbasics and epsf macro

Different facets of the raise and peel model

The raise and peel model is a one-dimensional stochastic model of a fluctuating interface with nonlocal interactions. This is an interesting physical model. It's phase diagram has a massive phase and a gapless phase with varying critical exponents. At the phase transition point, the model exhibits conformal invariance which is a space-time symmetry. Also at this point the model has several other facets which are the connections to associative algebras, two-dimensional fully packed loop models and combinatorics.Comment: 29 pages 17 figure

Pion-proton scattering and isospin breaking in the Δ0−Δ++\Delta^0-\Delta^{++} system

We determine the mass and width of the $\Delta^{++}\ (\Delta^0)$ resonance from data on $\pi^+ p\ (\pi^- p)$ scattering both, in the pole of the $S$-matrix and conventional Breit-Wigner approaches to the scattering amplitude. We provide a simple formula that relates the two definitions for the parameters of the $\Delta$. Isospin symmetry breaking in the \d0-\dm system depends on the definition of the resonant properties: we find $M_0-M_{++} = 0.40 \pm 0.57\ {\rm MeV},\ \Gamma_0 -\Gamma_{++} = 6.89 \pm 0.95\ {\rm MeV}$ in the pole approach while $\wt{M}_0-\wt{M}_{++} = 2.25 \pm 0.68\ {\rm MeV},\ \wt{\Gamma}_0 - \wt{\Gamma}_{++} = 8.45 \pm 1.11\ {\rm MeV}$ in the conventional approach.Comment: Latex, 23 pages, two figures upon reques

Tensor operators and Wigner-Eckart theorem for the quantum superalgebra U_{q}[osp(1\mid 2)]

Tensor operators in graded representations of Z_{2}-graded Hopf algebras are defined and their elementary properties are derived. Wigner-Eckart theorem for irreducible tensor operators for U_{q}[osp(1\mid 2)] is proven. Examples of tensor operators in the irreducible representation space of Hopf algebra U_{q}[osp(1\mid 2)] are considered. The reduced matrix elements for the irreducible tensor operators are calculated. A construction of some elements of the center of U_{q}[osp(1\mid 2)] is given.Comment: 16 pages, Late

Raise and Peel Models of fluctuating interfaces and combinatorics of Pascal's hexagon

The raise and peel model of a one-dimensional fluctuating interface (model A) is extended by considering one source (model B) or two sources (model C) at the boundaries. The Hamiltonians describing the three processes have, in the thermodynamic limit, spectra given by conformal field theory. The probability of the different configurations in the stationary states of the three models are not only related but have interesting combinatorial properties. We show that by extending Pascal's triangle (which gives solutions to linear relations in terms of integer numbers), to an hexagon, one obtains integer solutions of bilinear relations. These solutions give not only the weights of the various configurations in the three models but also give an insight to the connections between the probability distributions in the stationary states of the three models. Interestingly enough, Pascal's hexagon also gives solutions to a Hirota's difference equation.Comment: 33 pages, an abstract and an introduction are rewritten, few references are adde
