Supersymmetric approach to heavy fermion systems

Abstract

We propose a generalization of the supersymmetric representation of spins with symplectic symmetry, generalizing the rotation group of the spin from SU(2) to SP(N). As a test application of this new representation, we consider two toy models involving a competition of the Kondo effect and antiferromagnetism: a two-impurity model and a frustrated three-impurity model. Exploring an ensemble of L-shaped representations with a fixed number of boxes in their respective Young tableaux, we allow the system to choose which representation is energetically more favorable in each region in parameter space. We discuss how the features of these preliminary applications can generalize to Kondo lattice models.
