SO(5)-Symmetric Description of the Low Energy Sector of a Ladder System
David G. Shelton ; David Sénéchal ;
Date 24 Oct 1997
Subject Strongly Correlated Electrons | cond-mat.str-el
AbstractWe study a system of two Tomonaga-Luttinger models coupled by a small transverse hopping (a two-chain ladder). We use Abelian and non-Abelian bosonisation to show that the strong coupling regime at low energies can be described by an SO(5)$_1$ WZW model (or equivalently 5 massless Majorana fermions) deformed by symmetry breaking terms that nonetheless leave the theory critical at T=0. The SO(5) currents of the theory comprise the charge and spin currents and linear combinations of the so-called pi operators (S.C. Zhang, Science 275, 1089 (1997)) which are local in terms both of the original fermions and those of the effective theory. Using bosonisation we obtain the asymptotic behaviour of all correlation functions. We find that the 5 component ``superspin’’ vector has power law correlations at T=0; other fermion bilinears have exponentially decaying correlations and the corresponding tendencies are suppressed. Conformal field theory also allows us to obtain the energies, quantum numbers, and degeneracies of the low-lying states and fit them into deformed SO(5) multiplets.
