We show how to combine the light-cone and matrix product algorithms to simulate quantum systems far from equilibrium for long times. For the case of the XXZ spin chain at =0.5, we simulate to a time o...

On the thermodynamic limit of form factors in the massless XXZ Heisenberg chain
We consider the problem of computing form factors of the massless XXZ Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain in a magnetic field in the (thermodynamic) limit where the size M of the chain becomes large. For that p...

The Mallows model on Sn is a probability distribution on permutations, qd(pi,e)/Pn(q), where d(pi,e) is the distance between pi and the identity element, relative to the Coxeter generators. Equivalently, it is the number of inversions: pairs (i,j) where 1<=i<j<=n, but pii>pij. Analyzing the normalization Pn(q), Diaconis and Ram calculated the mean and variance of d(pi,e) in the Mallows model, which suggests that the appropriate n-->[infinity] limit has qn scaling as 1−beta/n. We calculate the distribution of the empirical measure in this limit, u(x,y)dxdy=limn-->[infinity](1/n)[summation]<sub>i = 1</sub><sup>n</sup>delta(i,pii). Treating it as a mean-field problem, analogous to the Curie–Weiss model, the self-consistent mean-field equations are ([partial-derivative]2/[partial-derivative]x[partial-derivative]y)ln u(x,y)=2betau(x,y), which is an integrable partial differential equation, known as the hyperbolic Liouville equation. The explicit solution also gives a new proof of formulas for the blocking measures in the weakly asymmetric exclusion process and the ground state of the [script U]q([fraktur s][fraktur l]2)-symmetric XXZ ferromagnet. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
