Non-Abelian Holonomy of BCS and SDW Quasiparticles

Abstract: In this work we investigate properties of fermions in the SO(5) theory of high T c superconductivity. We show that the adiabatic time evolution of a SO(5) superspin vector leads to a non-Abelian SU(2) holonomy of the SO(5) spinor states. Physically, this non-trivial holonomy arises from the non-zero overlap between the SDW and BCS quasiparticle states. While the usual Berry's phase of a SO(3) spinor is described by a Dirac magnetic monopole at the degeneracy point, the non-Abelian holonomy of a SO(5) spinor is… Show more

“…However, this quaternionic representation is not suitable for our purpose since the objects we would like to transform to the Clifford algebra are complex 4 × 4 Hermitian matrices. The required Dirac-like matrices having positive signature (+, +, +, +, +) were given in [11,12]. As we shall see, the following set of Γ i matrices yields real coefficients at basis vectors e i , as required by Cl 5 after the decomposition of the Hamiltonian and hole spin matrices,…”

“…The bosonic version of our formalism actually realizes the beautiful second Hopf map. One way to study the O(5) Nonlinear Sigma model is to decompose the O(5) vector in terms of bosonic SU(4) spinors as n a = Φ † Γ a Φ, Γ a with a = 1, 2, · · · 5 are five Gamma matrices, and Φ is a four component complex bosonic spinor 32 . After this decomposition there is a redundant SU (2) (8) vector forms a manifold of seven dimensional sphere S 7 , and the theory describes a mapping: S 7 /S 3 → S 4 , the S 3 manifold is exactly the SU(2) group manifold, and S 4 is the manifold formed by O (5) vector.…”
