Self-dual $S_3$-invariant quantum chains


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We investigate the self-dual three-state quantum chain with nearest-neighbor interactions and $S_3$, time-reversal, and parity symmetries. We find a rich phase diagram including gapped phases with order-disorder coexistence, integrable critical points with U(1) symmetry, and ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic critical regions described by three-state Potts and free-boson conformal field theories respectively. We also find an unusual critical phase which appears to be described by combining two conformal field theories with distinct Fermi velocities. The order-disorder coexistence phase has an emergent fractional supersymmetry, and we find lattice analogs of its generators.
