Local spin structure of large spin fermions

Spin Chains and Chiral Lattice Fermions

The generalization of Lorentz invariance to solvable two-dimensional lattice fermion models has been formulated in terms of Baxter’s corner transfer matrix. In these models, the lattice Hamiltonian and boost operator are given by fermionized nearest-neighbor Heisenberg spin chain operators. The transformation properties of the local lattice fermion operators under a boost provide a natural and ...

Spin-3/2 Fermions in Twistor Formalism

Consistency conditions for the local existence of massless spin 3/2 fields has been explored that the field equations for massless helicity 3/2 are consistent iff the space-time is Ricci-flat and that in Minkowski space-time the space of conserved charges for the fields is its twistor space itself. After considering the twistorial methods to study such massless helicity 3/2 fields , we derive i...

Spin chain sigma models with fermions

The complete one-loop planar dilatation operator of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills is isomorphic to the hamiltonian of an integrable PSU(2, 2|4) quantum spin chain. We construct the non-linear sigma models describing the continuum limit of the SU(1|3) and SU(2|3) sectors of the complete N = 4 chain. We explicitely identify the spin chain sigma model with the one for a superstring moving in AdS...

Spin-Orbit Coupling in Ultracold Fermions

Clifford algebras, Fermions and Spin chains

We show how using Clifford algebras and their representations can greatly simplify the analysis of integrable systems. In particular, we apply this approach to the XX-model with non-diagonal boundaries which is among others related to growing and fluctuating interfaces and stochastic reaction-diffusion systems. Using this approach, we can not only diagonalize the system, but also find new hidde...
