2 The results presented are part of a joint work with J. Fröhlich and D.Ueltschi (Ann. Henri Poincaré 18, , (2017)). Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

3 Phase transitions and symmetries Symmetry: group of transformations that leaves the system unaltered. Phase transition due to symmetry breaking: if T < T c the system favours an ordered state. Continuous symmetries (e.g. U(1)) VS Discrete symmetries (e.g. Z 2 ) Figure: T < T c Figure: T > T c Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

4 What about dimensions? Mermin Wagner Theorem: no spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry can happen at d 2 if T > 0. N.B. This statement does not apply to discrete symmetries (e.g. Z 2 symmetry in the ferromagnetic Ising model). Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

5 Phase transitions and correlation functions Study of the behaviour of the relevant correlation functions to study the absence or presence of symmetry breaking. Expected decay rate in d = 2: power law. Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

6 A general setting Our aim is to find a general setting for the relevant correlation functions to decay algebraically, with a focus on quantum models on a 2d lattice. We will be interested in systems with a U(1) symmetry. We will show how this setting is fulfilled by a great variety of well studied quantum systems. N. D. Mermin, H.

7 Some notation Lattice: (Λ, E) with graph distance. 1 γ = max x Λ max l N l {y Λ d(x, y) = l}. Λ Hilbert space H Λ - finite! (e.g. for quantum spin systems H Λ = x Λ C 2s+1 ). Linear operators B(H Λ ). Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

8 Some assumptions Local algebras: {B A } A Λ. Λ A Interaction: {Φ A } A Λ, Φ A B A. Hamiltonian: H Λ = A Λ Φ A. K-norm of interaction {Φ A } A Λ : Φ K = sup Φ A ( A 1) 2 (diam(a) + 1) 2+2K( A 1). y Λ A Λ s.t.y A a = Tr a e βh Λ Tr e βh Λ Gibbs state. Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

9 Some assumptions U(1) symmetry: {S x } x Λ such that [ Φ A, x A S x ] = 0 A Λ. Correlator O xy B {x,y} such that [S x, O xy ] = co xy. Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

10 Theorem (C.B., J. Fröhlich, D. Ueltschi (2017)) Suppose that the constant γ is finite, and that {S x } x Λ, (Φ A ) A Λ, and O xy satisfy the properties above. Then there exist C > 0 and ξ(β) > 0 (uniform with respect to Λ and x, y Λ) such that O xy C (d(x, y) + 1) ξ(β). Moreover, if there exists a positive constant K such that Φ K is bounded uniformly in Λ, then lim β ξ(β) = β c2 8γ Φ 0. Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

11 What does it mean? For β large enough we have power law decay of correlations with exponent 1 β : O xy const. (d(x, y) + 1) const. β. All the constants are uniform in Λ. Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

12 Ex. 1 - SU(2) invariant model H Λ = x Λ C 2s+1. S = (S 1, S 2, S 3 ) spin-s operators, with Sx i = S i 1 Λ\x. H Λ = ( 2s x,y E k=1 c k(x, y) Sx S ) k. y Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

13 Ex. 1 - SU(2) invariant model H Λ = x Λ C 2s+1. S = (S 1, S 2, S 3 ) spin-s operators, with Sx i = S i 1 Λ\x. H Λ = ( 2s x,y E k=1 c k(x, y) Sx S ) k. y Theorem There exist constants C > 0 and ξ(β) > 0, the latter depending on β, γ, s but not on x, y Λ, such that S j xs j y C (d(x, y) + 1) ξ(β). The exponent ξ(β) is proportional to β 1 for β large enough: lim β ξ(β) = β (32sγ2 ) 1. Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

14 Ex. 2- The Hubbard Model H Λ = x Λ span{,,, } x Λ C 4. Hamiltonian (also long range interaction): H Λ = x,y Λ σ=, t xy 2 (c σ,xc σ,y + c σ,y c σ,x ) +V ({n,x } x Λ, {n,x } x Λ ). Two U(1) symmetries generated by n x = σ=, n σ,x and x = n,x n,x. Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

15 Ex. 2 - The Hubbard model Theorem Suppose that t xy = t(d(x, y) + 1) α with α > 4. Then there exist C > 0, ξ(β) > 0 (the latter depending on β, γ, α, t, but not on x, y Λ) such that c,x c,xc,y c,y c,x c,x c,y c,y C(d(x, y) + 1) ξ(β) c σ,xc σ,y where σ {, } in the last line. Furthermore, ( lim β ξ(β) = 64γ 2 t r α+3) 1. β r 1 Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

16 Wide range of applicability! Other examples: XXZ model, tj model, Random loop model,... Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

17 Ideas of the proof The proof uses the complex rotation method: rotate the correlator and the Hamiltonian with the operator R = z Λ eθz Sz. The angles {θ z } z Λ are chosen to encode the expected power law decay. We can then estimate O xy by Trotter s formula and Hölder inequality for matrices. Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18

18 Conclusions Power-law bound for the decay of correlations in a wide class of U(1)-symmetric systems. The proof relies on simple ingredients most of all the complex rotation method. Costanza Benassi (University of Warwick) Decay of correlations in 2d quantum systems 25th August / 18
