5 2 THE LARGE N LIMIT Only single trace states contribute at large N. Only single trace operators are relevant A simple supersymmetric Hamiltonian (QM of one boson and one fermion in 1+1 dimensions, at N = ) The phase transition at λ(= g 2 N) = 1 Duality between the strong- and weak-coupling phases: E n (1/λ) E n (λ) Analytic solution Equivalence, at strong coupling, with the Heisenberg model (spin chain) and, independently, with the q-bosonic gas hidden supersymmetry in statistical models hep-th/51231, 6345, 67198, 6921, mat-ph/6382 with E. Onofri E. Onofri et al., M. Beccaria, P. Korcyl 5
6 3 ONE SUPERSYMMETRIC HAMILTONIAN Q = 2Tr[fa (1 + ga )], Q = 2Tr[f (1 + ga)a] H = {Q, Q } = H B + H F. H B = Tr[a a + g(a 2 a + a a 2 ) + g 2 a 2 a 2 ]. H F = Tr[f f + g(f f(a + a) + f (a + a)f) + g 2 (f afa + f aa f + f fa a + f a fa)] LARGE N MATRIX ELEMENTS OF H F=, n = Tr[a n ] / N n <, n H, n > = (1 + λ(1 δn1))n, <, n + 1 H, n >=<, n H, n + 1 > = λ n(n + 1). F=1 < 1, n H 1, n > = (1 + λ)(n + 1) + λ, < 1, n + 1 H 1, n >=< 1, n H 2 1, n + 1 > = λ(2 + n). 6
7 THE SPECTRUM lambda= E F= F=1 Figure 2: First 1 energy levels of H in F= and F=1 sectors at λ =.5 Supersymmetry is unbroken in this model. Only breaking was due to the cutoff. Good test of the planar calculus. 7
8 Well defined system for all values of t Hooft coupling. At λ = - SUSY harmonic oscillators Almost equidistant levels for all λ All levels collapse at λ c = 1. 8
9 E E E B 5 l= B l=.4 l= B l= E B 4 3 E 2 1 l= B l= E B Figure 3: The cutoff dependence of the spectra of H, in the F= sector for a range of λ s 9
10 THE PHASE TRANSITION The critical slowing down Any finite number of levels collapses at λ c = 1 - the spectrum looses its energy gap - it becomes continuous. Second ground state with E = appears in the strong coupling phase. Rearrangement of supermultiplets. Witten index has a discontinuity at λ c. The strong - weak duality. 1

12 ANALYTIC SOLUTION CONSTRUCTION OF THE SECOND GROUND STATE STRONG/WEAK DUALITY F= 2 = n=1 b λ (3) 1 b n 1 n, n. (4) b E (F=) n (1/b) 1 b 2 = 1 b ( E (F=) n+1 (b) b 2). (5) F=1 b E (F=1) n (1/b) 1 b 2 = 1 b ( E (F=1) n (b) b 2) 12
13 3.1 SPECTRUM AND EIGENSTATES The planar basis, n = 1 N n Tr[a n ] A non-orthonormal (but useful) basis: B n = n n + b n + 1 n + 1. The generating function f(x) for the expansion of the eigenstates ψ > into the B n basis. The Hψ = Eψ f(x) = n= c n x n ψ = n= c n B n w(x)f (x) + xf(x) ǫf(x) = bf() + f (), w(x) = (x + b)(x + 1/b), E = b(ǫ + b) 13
14 The solution f(x) = 1 1 α x + 1/b F(1, α; 1 + α; x + b ), b < 1, x + 1/b 1 1 x + 1/b f(x) = F(1, 1 α; 2 α; ), b > 1, 1 α x + b x + b E = α(b 2 1) The quantization condition f() = E n reproduces the numerical eigenvalues of m H n One more check: set α = in the b > 1 solution. f (x) = bx log b + x, b > 1, (6) b 1/b Generates the second vacuum state as it should. Cannot do this for b < 1 there is no such state at weak coupling! 14
15 F=2,3 States with F fermions are labeled by F bosonic occupation numbers (configurations). n = n 1, n 2,..., n F = 1 N {n} Tr(a n1 f a n2 f... a nf f ) Cyclic shifts give the same state Pauli principle some configurations are not allowed, e.g. Degeneracy factors {n, n}, or {2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1} 15
16 5 λ= λ= E F= F= F=2 F=3 Figure 4: Low lying bosonic and fermionic levels in the first four fermionic sectors. SUPERMULTIPLETS supermultiplets OK F=( - 1) accommodate complete representations of SUSY, but F=(2-3) do not Richer structure than in /1, e.g. not equidistant levels. 16
17 REARRANGEMENT OF F=2 AND F=3 SUPERPARTNERS The phase transition is there, as in /1 sectors. Supermultiplets rearrange across the phase transition point. Two new vacua appear in the strong coupling phase! The exact construction of both vacua. 17
18 F=2 and F= E λ Figure 5: Rearrangement of the F = 2 (red) and F = 3 (black) levels while passing through the critical coupling λ c = 1. 18

20 RESTRICTED WITTEN INDEX W(T, λ) = i ( 1) F i e TE i No good when supermultiplets are incomplete (if no SUSY). New definition - analytic continuation into the critical region. W R (T, λ) = i ( e TE i e TĒi ), Ēi = f E f q fi 2 f q fi 2 2

22 THE STRONG COUPLING LIMIT H strong = lim λ H = (8) Tr(f 1 f)+ N [Tr(a 2 a 2 ) + Tr(a f af) + Tr(f a fa)]. λ 1 It conserves both F and B = n 1 + n n F. Still has exact supersymmetry. H strong is the finite matrix in each (F, B) sector (c.f. a map of all sectors). The SUSY vacua are only in the sectors with even F and (F, B = F ± 1) the magic staircase 22
23 B F Table 2: Sizes of gauge invariant bases in the (F,B) sectors. The magic staircase there are always two SUSY vacua at finite λ (in the strong coupling phase). 23
24 4 q-boson GAS A one dimensional, periodic lattice with length F. A boson at each lattice site a i, i = 1,..., F The new Hamiltonian H = B + F i=1 δ Ni, + F i=1 where N i = a ia i and B = n 1 + n n F. b i b i+1 + b i b i 1, (9) The b i (b i ) operators create (annihilate) one quantum without the usual n factors assisted transitions. This Hamiltonan conserves B. b n = n + 1, b n = n 1, b, It is also invariant under lattice shifts U. [b, b ] = δ N, (1) The spectrum of above H, in the sector with λ U = 1, exactly coincides with the spectrum of H strong, for even F and any B. 24
25 q-bosons: the b and b c/a operators are defined by b = a [N + 1]q N + 1, b = [N + 1]q N + 1 a, [x] q 1 q 2x, (11) 1 q 2 and satisfy the q deformed algebra of the harmonic oscillator [b, b ] = q 2N. (12) Therefore our SUSY-equivalent system corresponds to q. q-bose gas was considered non-soluble (Bogoliubov)... until now. (13) 25
26 5 THE XXZ MODEL The one dimensional chain of Heisenberg spins H ( ) XXZ = 1 2 L i=1 (σ x i σ x i+1 + σ y i σ y i+1 + σ z i σ z i+1) Our planar system, at strong coupling, is equivalent to the XXZ chain with L = F + B, S z = L i=1s z i = F B, and = ± 1 2 Riazumov-Stroganv conjecture: for odd L and S z = ±1 there exists an eigenstate with known, simple eigenvalue E = 3 4 L. the R-S states are the SUSY vacua of H SC! Even more: there is a hidden supersymmetric structure in the Heisenberg chain. SUSY relates lattices of different sizes. 26
27 6 BETHE ANSATZ The XXZ model is soluble by the Bethe Ansatz The existence of the magic staircase can be proven using BA BA can be solved analytically for the first three magic sectors Bethe phases for F=6,B= x = i (7 + 13) 6 2 6( ) + i ( ) y = i (7 + 13) ( ) + i ( ) 72 27
