A DMRG study of the -symmetric Heisenberg chain

Abstract: The spin one-half Heisenberg chain with Uq[SU (2)] symmetry is studied via density-matrix renormalization. Ground-state energy and q-symmetric correlation functions are calculated for the nonhermitian case q = exp(iπ/(r+1)) with integer r. This gives bulk and surface exponents for (para)fermionic correlations in the related Ising and Potts models. The case of real q corresponding to a diffusion problem is treated analytically.

“…The most famous of these approaches is certainly the density matrix renormalisation group (DMRG) [15,16]. This technique has by now been adapted to stochastic systems [17,18,19]. The method is asymptotic in time, but at this moment can treat only systems consisting of approximately 50-100 sites.…”

“…The method is most succesfull in one dimension. Given the formal similarity between quantum systems and stochastic ones, several groups started to apply this technique to interacting particle systems in recent years 23,45 . The method is now known to work well also in these cases though it cannot give as accurate results as for the spin chains, mainly because at this moment algorithms to diagonalise nonhermitean matrices are not as well developped as those for the hermitean case.…”

“…In this study we make use of the formal analogy between quantum systems and the "Hamiltonian" operator formalism 20,21 of stochastic processes. Although the latter operators are generally non-hermitian, techniques developed in the study of quantum spin systems can often be successfully applied 21,22,23,24 . In the theory of random quantum spin systems, recently considerable progress has been made in understanding their low-energy (or long time), long distance behavior.…”

“…Kaulke and Peschel [36] used the DMRG to study biased diffusion, which leads to a q-symmetric Hamiltonian H which is similar to a symmetric matrix. The feasibility of the Hamiltonian approach using the DMRG for truly non-equilibrium systems without detailed balance was demonstrated with E. Carlon and U. Schollwöck, on a model in the DP class [37].…”
