Projected BCS states and spin Hamiltonians for the SO(n)_1 Wess-Zumino-Witten model

Tu, Hong-Hao

Understand

We propose a class of projected BCS wave functions and derive their parent spin Hamiltonians.

  • These wave functions can be formulated as infinite Matrix Product States constructed by chiral correlators of Majorana fermions.
  • In 1D, the spin Hamiltonians can be viewed as SO(n) generalizations of Haldane-Shastry models.
  • We numerically compute the spin-spin correlation functions and Renyi entropies for n=5 and 6.
