Clifford algebras, Fermions and Spin chains

چکیده
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 hidden symmetries.

Derivations on Certain Semigroup Algebras
In the present paper we give a partially negative answer to a conjecture of Ghahramani, Runde and Willis. We also discuss the derivation problem for both foundation semigroup algebras and Clifford semigroup algebras. In particular, we prove that if S is a topological Clifford semigroup for which Es is finite, then H1(M(S),M(S))={0}.

Clifford algebras were discovered by Clifford in the late 19th century as part of his search for generalizations of quaternions. He considered an algebra generated by V = R subject to the relation v = −||v|| for all v ∈ V . (For n = 2 this gives the quaternions via i = e1, j = e2, and k = e1e2.) They were rediscovered by Dirac. In this handout we explain some general features of Clifford algebr...
متن کاملIsocliny in spinor space and Wilson fermions
We show that Clifford algebras are closely related to the study of isoclinic subspaces of spinor spaces and, consequently, to the Hurwitz-Radon matrix problem. Isocliny angles are introduced to parametrize gamma matrices, i.e., matrix representations of the generators of finite-dimensional Clifford algebras C(m,n). Restricting the consideration to the Clifford algebra C(4, 0), this parametrizat...
متن کاملp-Analog of the Semigroup Fourier-Steiltjes Algebras
In this paper we define the $p$-analog of the restericted reperesentations and also the $p$-analog of the Fourier--Stieltjes algebras on the inverse semigroups . We improve some results about Herz algebras on Clifford semigroups. At the end of this paper we give the necessary and sufficient condition for amenability of these algebras on Clifford semigroups.
متن کاملMajorana Fermions and Representations of the Braid Group
In this paper we study unitary braid group representations associated with Majorana Fermions. Majorana Fermions are represented by Majorana operators, elements of a Clifford algebra. The paper recalls and proves a general result about braid group representations associated with Clifford algebras, and compares this result with the Ivanov braiding associated with Majorana operators. The paper gen...
