RESUMO
Starting from Landau's kinetic equation, we show that an electronic liquid in d = 2, 3 spatial dimensions depicted by a Landau-type effective theory will become incompressible on condition that the Landau parameters satisfy either (i) [Formula: see text] or (ii) [Formula: see text]. Condition (i) is the Pomeranchuk instability in the current channel and suggests a quantum spin liquid (QSL) state with a spinon Fermi surface; while condition (ii) means that the strong repulsion in the charge channel leads to a conventional charge and thermal insulator. In the collisionless regime (ωτ â« 1) and the hydrodynamic regime (ωτ ⪠1), the zero and first sound modes have been studied and classified by symmetries, including the longitudinal and transverse modes in d = 2, 3 and the higher angular momentum modes in d = 3. The sufficient (and/or necessary) conditions of these collective modes have been revealed. It has been demonstrated that some of these collective modes will behave in quite different manners under incompressibility condition (i) or (ii). Possible nematic QSL states and a hierarchy structure for gapless QSL states have been proposed in d = 3.
RESUMO
We study Kitaev model in one-dimension with open boundary condition by using exact analytic methods for non-interacting system at zero chemical potential as well as in the symmetric case of Δ = t, and by using density-matrix-renormalization-group method for interacting system with nearest neighbor repulsion interaction. We suggest and examine an edge correlation function of Majorana fermions to characterize the long range order in the topological superconducting states and study the phase diagram of the interating Kitaev chain.
RESUMO
The Kitaev chain model with a nearest neighbor interaction U is solved exactly at the symmetry point Δ=t and chemical potential µ=0 in an open boundary condition. By applying two Jordan-Wigner transformations and a spin rotation, such a symmetric interacting model is mapped onto a noninteracting fermion model, which can be diagonalized exactly. The solutions include a topologically nontrivial phase at |U|
