Complexity of the Laughlin wave function from the Dyson-orbital perspective

J. M. Zhang, Y. Liu

The Fermi sea is a simple and common concept in physics. However, a related and equally simple concept -- the Dyson orbital -- is far less discussed in physics, especially in textb…

Landau free energy and the absence of spontaneous magnetization of the one-dimensional Ising model

Z. F. Zheng, R. K. Lin, J. M. Zhang

We revisit the problem of spontaneous magnetization of the one-dimensional Ising model from the Landau free energy perspective. To this end, we define and calculate the density of…
